A pupil go this error on her mum’s android phone trying to get to a Teams assignment the other day. It took a while to back & forth to find out what was going on & to find an answer, a common problem, perhaps, with multiple accounts on android. Our solution was to provide iPad.
Just hanging this here in case it helps, not with my solution but knowing it is a problem sometimes is a comfort. Also as a help to my ever older memory.
A few people interested in attending #TeachMeet21 have asked "What is a #TeachMeet any way?"
I think this should be a crowd sources answer

How do we reason with people like this?
How do we prevent the next generation from being so utterly misinformed?
Urgent questions we need to address as a society and as educators...but remote learning takes a lot of time to put together so need to park this for now 😂😥 pic.twitter.com/PckIWiIik1
A good place to learn about detecting online disinformation is @holden’s site Hapgood. Aimed at undergraduates it would be great for teachers to help our own understanding.
How this translates into secondary and primary education I don’t know. In primary I’ve used the Save The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus site. Used to use Mozzila’s long gone hackasaurus to fake web pages to add pupils to BBC webpages. I find it hard to move pupils off the goole search results to an actual site, never mind comparing two.
Technology seem to be making things increasingly easy for us while hiding the possibilities of developing real digital understanding…
Some thoughts on the return to online learning, and what we can do to make the best of it https://www.thenational.scot/news/18986180.online-learning-learned-teaching-online-covid/?ref=twtrec
First of all, I think it’s really important that we put kids first and don’t worry too much about “lost learning”. No matter what age they are, their schoolwork is not more important than their wellbeing.
Yup, it is a pity this needs to be said, but it does.

I am wondering if we are returning before pupils are we supposed to carry out online teaching from school? My home broadband is several times faster than school network?
According to my on this day page (thanks again @cogdog) last year was end of term. I don’t think this year will feature as much “stuff to touch”
Short story: Google Chrome installs something called Keystone on your computer, which bizarrely hides what it's doing from Activity Monitor and makes your whole computer slow even when Chrome isn't running. Deleting Chrome and Keystone makes your computer way, way faster, all the time.

Surprised I’ve not see this in my feeds yet. I’ve certainly noticed that Chrome can sometimes seem to hog resources and energy on macs. I mostly use Safari and Firefox.
