Pinterest drives me crazy when searching and has some worries but this looks very useful.
Outdoor Classroom Day | The Outdoor Classroom Day movement aims to make time outdoors part of every child's day, at home and at school.
Often I share a screen recording so that others can follow along with tips, processes and generally shared knowledge. However the screen recordings produced by macOS are huge! Here’s how to share smaller recordings, using the command-line version of HandBrake and Hazel
I make a lot of short screencasts and often use Handbrake to reduce the file size. This looks like a great idea.
Autumn Leaves
Watched: The Flavour of Green Tea over Rice beautiful, plot seemed a bit thin. Reading about the roots of the script helped, I think the wartime seeing would have had more punch. The noodle bar name in the subtitles was LOL!
You cannot connect with students or understand their learning if you can’t see them. And nobody can be expected to share ideas that are important to them to group of hidden faceless peers. If you want students to talk, you’ll need cameras on.
A lot of good pushback on this in the replies. I certainly didn’t find the lack of camera a problem during our spring/summer lockdown. At that point Teams in Glow did not let pupils use cameras. I liked that as it meant I didn’t have to think about it.
Cameras off could help with privacy, bandwidth and possible feeling a bit more comfortable the teacher is not watching your every move and counting the toilet breaks.
Yeah, I think people somehow keep forgetting that there is literally a whole pandemic.
I don’t hear from a kid for a week and they pop back in and I tell them I missed them and am thrilled to see them.
“There was some stuff.”
Yup. Love you; glad you’re here.

I might have to play again now…
Imagemagick blends
Playing around with imagemagick using photos from a couple of walks
I got a complement on my raven pictures in the header from @bsag on micro.blog so shrunk them all down & stuck them together. I turn photos to B&W as I’ve found it hard to get clear photos but love the shapes.
In the meantime, I’m reaching back to my recent past with the animated posters, but with a new approach. I’m going to try and build a classic movie poster a week using HTML/CSS. The first is Harper, a poster for the 1966 Paul Newman film. I came across it through my Flickr feed of all things.
I always love Michael Branson Smith‘s work/play which I came across via ds106 his animated movie posters are special.
