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;-)

Flat fish, found on the path beside the pond at Victoria Park this morning. I wonder if it was caught by heron on River Clyde & dropped, or supplied by one of the folk who feed the herons?
All misty wet with rain…
The Blossom is going now, leaves coming through.
john (John's World Wide Wall Display)I have an unreasonable desire to keep everything on our own site so this goes against the grain
Given that my old school website has disappeared into the archive and Wikispaces just disappeared, not so unreasonable. I was having indieweb notions 12 years ago. Another reason I like my on this day page.
Professor Wiliam also cautioned that a content-heavy curriculum left less time for teachers to give their pupils feedback. "For me, formative assessment requires creating slack. There’s no point in doing formative assessment if you have no slack, because you’re wasting time testing when you could be teaching," he said.
I’ve been to the park 38 days straight. First time it has been raining! Strange times in Scotland!
“You could be forgiven for thinking that everyone on here is super productive, highly adaptive and smashing the home learning thing 24-7. They’re not. They are eating Wagon Wheels and panicking just like the rest of us. Give yourself a break- you are doing the very best you can.”
This needs to be hoisted high and shouted loud. I’ve no children at home to care for, am being reasonably disciplined, confident with tech and I am finding this is taking way more thought and time than I could imagine.
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.
