“Going from 0 to 100 isn’t ideal - what key books or sites are #edtech friends recommending to school teachers who are making the leap to online only? What are the best accessible, practical primers?”
It is certainly not ideal. The idea of teaching “online only” to primary children, with the huge variation in home circumstances, connectivity, space, support. Adding to the existing complexities of a class is going to be interesting. I doubt it is about the tech.
“So many teachers I follow are ALWAYS teachers. It’s quite draining to be honest. Some of the best teachers I’ve ever seen working with kids were NOT teachers. I often think it’s healthier to think ‘what would I do (and think) if I were not a teacher?’ Especially right now.”
I guess we all show a slice of our lives online. Some folk keep the slice narrow, others widen it a bit.

“@ty_goddard @Sfm36 @claganach @kirstymcfaul Only problem? Kids don’t use it.”
I don’t think it is down to the pupils. I think that depends on their teachers & schools. If it is part of learning in school they will use it for that. And for staff who are not confident with digital it give at least some assurances & help.
Glow services goes through rigorous data protection. There are plenty of digital enthusiasts who could can find and incorporate “better” tools or ones that meet the needs of their particular classrooms. That might lack a little on the safety front and many be difficult to sustain. Having a national solution avoids some of those problems.
Chris Aldrich (boffosocko.com)The fact that an empty TiddlyWiki file is named index.html gave me my answer: set up a GitHub Pages-based website and simply connect it to my domain! However, as simple as this pathway may seem to some, I thought I’d briefly document the process I took so others can do the same for themselves.
Hi Chris,
This worked very well for me, I already had some git hub pages so just added another directory https://git.johnj.info/tiddly/
Took a few goes to get the settings to stick but I got there. I also found if I had two browsers open saving failed. Get the odd save error, but it seems to sort itself out in the end.
Not sure what I am going to do with this as I’ve a couple of other Tiddlywikis, but it is fun to play with.
Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)I know that emojis have been an issue in the past, however I manually remove it from the slug these days (see url https://collect.readwriterespond.com/indigenous-for-desktop/). The only emojis are in the title? I think that you have touched upon my only concern/frustration with Micropub/sub Readers....
Hi Aaron,
I find emoji anywhere in Response Properties makes them vanish on publish. Lots of folk use them in twitter names, and if I’ve been too lazy to look at the details, boom.
Indigenous seemed to fill the response properties in an emojiless post, but I needed to update the post manually to get them to show on the front end of the blog.
I’ve got Default Status for Micropub Posts set to draft, and posting from Indigenous’s post section respected that, but replies didn’t. I need to test a wee bit more.
I guess I want cake and eat it, quick posting and the ability to edit quotes etc. Unfortunately I don’t have the ability to dive in and do this for myself.

Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)This is exciting Aaron, testing the reply feature on my desktop now.
HMM, I need to manually add the response properties in my blog. Not sure if that is due to your emoji in title or…
“I’m very concerned about the stream of stories about safeguarding issues with Zoom. The dangers of a ‘free tech tool.’ My grade safeguarded student video conf participation (adult in room etc) but the software itself seems fundamentally flawed. Thoughts / suggestions?”
I wonder about Etherpad which I just found out has video. Free, but without the problem of “commercial free”. Not sure about security cc @johnmclear
Zoom seems a bit of an ethical & security disaster but I think there are plenty of other worries around equity of support, environment and devices.
Etherpad being open source is certainly a positive.
Ive used etherpad in the past, a quick test of the video version shows it works fine on iPad and iPhone. A moot point for me as I think North Lanarkshire will be instructions us to use Teams.
In a primary setting I think there is a lot more to think about around video conferencing, at the moment I don’t think it is a golden bullet for our current problems.
