Mating Herons Yesterday in the park.

“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.

Open education is not a short-term fix to a passing problem—it is a long-term solution to ensuring equitable, inclusive access to effective educational resources and learning opportunities.
In the same way open science is better science (the world is sharing COVID-19 research to create a vaccine), open education is better education.
So good, thanks David. Also, IMO, as much as possible should be accessible by the simplest tech.

Today’s walk in the park.

Recorded this in Victoria Park on Monday. I only recognise the crows and wood pigeon. This is near a busy road, very few cars now.
From todays local exercise in Victoria Park.
#MicrosoftTeams does teams truncate gifs, I uploaded this small one, 22kb and it stopped at frame 11 of 15?

Sticky posts would be great for this. My announcements get wheeched away up the screen by pesky pupils posting;-) Is there a way to do that?
