- Primary Maths – Starting Points Maths interesting set of exercises and discussions.
- Raspberry Pi dog detector (and dopamine booster) uses a raspberry pi to notify when a dog ones past the window using YOLO: Real-Time Object Detection to detect the dogs from a video stream. I almost started replicating this but stopped myself just in time.
- Scratch
Here you can find a number of Scratch projects to teach primary pupils, and in particular to scaffold learning for students with special educational needs. We recommend teaching pupils about the concepts in order: Sequence > Input > Repetition > Selection > Variables > Other. In each section there are a number of projects you can use to explore code, modify or extend existing projects or to fix a program, by debugging or ordering code.
Looks as if it might be a good way to cover scratch. I used a few ideas during lockdown.
- INTERFACE CRITIQUE — Olia Lialina: FROM MY TO ME
Webmasters of the 1990s built homes, worlds and universes. But also, outside of intergalactic ambitions, they strongly pushed the concept of something being mine. The first-person possessive determiner “my” took on a very strong meaning – “my” because I build it, I control this presentation; my interests, my competences, my obsessions: in the trajectory from my to me, I suggest following its decline.

that’s the story of how I temporarily fended off some link rot in my small corner of the web.
Featured image my own dithered to grey with imagemagick, from an idea by Doug Belshaw who was trying to save energy. I just like the idea of these images for link list posts.
Hi Doug,
I was wondering what was going on, the old feed was behaving strangely in my reader. The new one works really nicely in inoreader.
I do get different behaviour in different browsers. Firefox, where I’ve an RSS extension, shows the RSS; Safari offers to open the feed in NetNewsWire RSS reader; Chrome shows the webpage.
Alan’s comment about pinboard is interesting, I used to have a sort of tumble blog running off the rss from my delicious links.
Read: The Margot Affair by Sanaë Lemoine
Read: The Margot Affair by Sanaë Lemoine ★★★☆☆ enjoyable quick read. Teenagers pov, secret daughter of a French politician and a famous actress. Suspicious adult friends, trouble.
We had a early walk round Loch Ardinning reserve this morning. March has got cold again. Wee bit of snow on the Campsies and the Loch Lomond hills were white. Curlews and peewits. Quiet. The grass paths are in a bad way due to lockdown walking.
