Andrew,
Great stuff. I wish I’d read this before I marked my first quiz:-) Not the most intuitive interface I’ve seem but this makes things very clear, subsequent ones should be easier for me.

Very cool indeed Kenny, I’ve done spine stories: photo of a pile of books with my class, & I think #ds106

Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)I have learnt that it is very difficult to do ‘deep work’ without a wife, especially when you are trying to work in a shared space.
I am not doing deep work, just trying to teach online. Despite the fact I am fairly tech literate with a good connection and no children at home I am finding things really time and head space consuming. I’d be in an even worse place if I didn’t get amazing support from my wife.
“We’re noticing more students shutting off video feed in gatherings ... all sorts of possible reasons but students grappling with the visibility of poverty is the one I worry about the most, as well as who gets ‘seen and valued’ in Distance Learning settings ... #nwp #clmooc”
This is interesting in the context of @GlowScot
decision not to support pupil video in conferences. #glowscot
Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)What is sad and confusing are the people who publish great threads while leaving their WP.com site lying dormant. At the very least, users could copy the unrolled thread and past the content in a space they somewhat manage and have the ability to update?
I was joshing about that last night:
There are a ton of great resources and ideas for teaching zooming past on twitter at the moment. It would be great for some to go to a slower stream or garden.
“@johnjohnston @Miss_Anderson @athole @StephenReidEdu @IanStuart66 @claganach I have no time to write a blog ”
Can’t argue with that, but I will 😉 Mine saves me time, ’cause I can refer to, writing posts especially one I don’t publish let me think through things and a lot of my posts are tweets too, like this one. I am sad when resources are only shared on twitter and lost in the stream.
“I’ve not stopped working in 13 weeks. Like many professions, teaching doesn’t fit into a 9-5 schedule. But online it’s 24/7. And I’m not learning classical Kazoo, or how to paint the Mona Lisa or even getting all the quality time with my kids I should be. 2/4”
We are in as someone smart said in different boats in the storm (& some of us are only at the edge) so advice prolly useless. But I’d give up on the 24/7: being with your kid & wife, hugs, fresh air & nature are not indulgence but essential maintenance needed to do your work.
Back on March 20th I did one of my earlier call-in discussions with Scottish educator, blogger, and tinkerer John Johnston
Everyone should wake up to a post like this once in a while. Jim through #DS106 and beyond has been a major inspiration of my digital life. Nearly all of the things Jim mentions were directly inspired or improved by DS106.
I managed to get #minecraftedu running from home and a few pupils in from remote locations using their #glowscot accounts. Hope to set up some home learning/playing next week. I am really rubbish at even walking in minecraft, so will be observing rather than building;-)
