“It's really encouraging to see the resourcefulness and support being shared by educators in #GlowBlogs on so many levels - if ever there was a time for #Glow, now is it! #SchoolClosureScotland #GetOnline #Glow”
Neat! That gave me an idea of how to show #GlowBlogs activity across the country with an #animatedgif //cc
Greg McVerry (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com)If only schools just provided students with a website early on and they were used to documenting their learning from their own domain. I am hoping this build up a recognition to teach digital infrastructure #edtechchat
That was one of my main hopes for Glow Blogs. I don’t think it has happend in many places. It is a hard ask for educators to support something that might be beyond their experience. With younger children it is challenging but rewarding.

Kevin, I am delighted that my wee toy could be part of making something this lovely. Thanks for the mention!

As I listen to Nigel Robertson (@easegill) spinning the tunes from New Zealand while I type these works, I am reminded of how much I love ds106radio—the little radio station Grant Potter prop…
Hi Jim,
When Nicecast went away I moved to Audio Hijack for the #ds106radio inspired Radio Edutalk.
It took a while to get my head round it but:

As far as I remember I took only the right channel to my headphones to avoid hearing myself.
Oh and

“8. Schools: Kids generally won’t get very ill, so the govt can use them as a tool to infect others when you want to increase infection. When you need to slow infection, that tap can be turned off – at that point they close the schools. Politically risky for them to say this.”
Really interesting thread about the uk Coronavirus strategy from Professor Ian Donald comes with disclaimer.
Roughly the government want to control the spread of the virus letting the less vulnerable catch it and gain immunity while protecting the more vulnerable.

Does this throw older and vulnerable school staff under the bus? Asking for a friend.
Chris Aldrich (boffosocko.com)I’d love it if ThreadReaderApp had the ability to authenticate into my personal website and publish a copy of my own tweetstorms into my blog using Micropub. This would be a great way to leverage their existing infrastructure and to allow people to put their own Tweetstorms onto their blog and s...
Chris,
I wonder if the new feature in Little Outliner to produce tweet storms could be leveraged. AFAIK Little outline can’t post to WordPress, but Dave Winer’s previous Fargo could.

Yes, I love it that our playground looks like a building site.
“We’re delighted to launch our new #microbit coding platform, created with @Nominet, including new resources & #microbitClassroom - a unique coding space for 2 minute lesson setup! https://t.co/B7It8jPyjs #edtech #edchat #STEM #coding”
micro:bit classroom
This looks as if it might be a really neat idea, local storage, no sign-in for teacher or pupils. Download everything and resume session later.
I am wondering if it will, now or soon, work with the iOS micro:bit app?
There you go, try guess the nature of this blog post from a word heavy vague title.
I think I’d guess that a post with Glitch, Remix, and Exquisite Corpse in the title is one that is I’d be interested in;-)
Glitch is a pretty interesting place. Interestingly I made something there a while back of which Kevin was the only user!
Excited to see what range of things you get up to with glitch.
