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;-)

A day in the life
I’ve not had much time for blogging recently, just posting my Monday diary as something I hope to see it when I check my On This day pages in the future.
6:40 up
6:50 to 8 walk in the park. Blossom fading, moorhen chicks. Beautiful day.
8:00 – 9:00 breakfast, coffee and crossword with Dorothy, wee bit of exercise, shower and dressed again.
9:00 – 10 posting to Teams about video conferences, emailing pupils links to weeks work. Prep for staff meeting . Brief call with someone in Inverclyde about Blogs, quick tweet.
10:00 -11:00 Continuing prep for conference with pupils
11:00- 12:15 Staff meeting
12:15 – 12:45 lunch, I am getting really quick at knocking out tofu, stir fry and noodles.

2:00- 3:10 pupil conference
3:00 – 4:30 commenting on e-Portfolios, email, coffee & toast, week review of last week.
4:30 – 5:30 yoga (Dorothy is teaching me a few moves, I am pretty stiff), Chi Kung ( I am teaching Dorothy some) and a few exercises.
5:30 – 6:00 email a mum, FirstClass, skimming docs from HT.
6:00 – 7:30 cooking, eating, phoning my mum
7:30- 7:50 more e-Portfolios
8:00 – 10:00 second half of King Lear on iPlayer (recommended), episode of Upright (recommended).
I’ve just posted my classes learning ideas for the week. Then I look on the internet, the range and scope of ideas for home education is somewhat overwhelming.
Virtually retracing a walk I took this time last year, Troisgeach and Meall an Fhudair 20 Apr 2019, hills, birds, beetles, flowers and frogs. Clear skies & a day alone.
Lockdown things I am surprised at.
I watch 1 & a half hours of tv per day. I expected that to rise.
I expected to spend more time on social media.
I am not bored with Victoria Park yet. (I’d like to go somewhere else as well)
I’ve been to the shops 3 times in 4 weeks.
Birds song in the park this morning.
RPi Cam Control has filters;-)
Recorded this in Victoria Park on Monday. I only recognise the crows and wood pigeon. This is near a busy road, very few cars now.
#MicrosoftTeams does teams truncate gifs, I uploaded this small one, 22kb and it stopped at frame 11 of 15?
I was delighted the other day to find out that markdown works in #MicrosoftTeams, now less so when using it for a purpose. Pasting markdown seems broken. A pretty unimportant thing but it would save me some time.
