The evening sunshine and a game of “football rounders” at the end of exam week with our Y6 and 7 boarders at @OrwellParkSch. I’m not sure it gets much better than this.

At Orwell Park School, we have had great feedback from parents about OPS Online, our lockdown solution, since it began back in April 2020. We thought it might be helpful to share a video of how we did it, using our Firefly Learning platform, Zoom and teamwork. #orwellparkonline

I’ve just spotted that Dominic Cummings’ father-in-law is called Sir Humphry. Beautiful.

Raising an issue told to me by a friend in Poland. The ruling far right party appears to be using the COVID19 lockdown to run an unfair election. Poland has been a light of democracy since 1989 and it would be sad to see that ground lost. Please share.

Through some form of providence in my planning, this week's tip is very relevant in the event of school closure; how to use Zoom to teach remotely. I advise: watch the video, get Zoom installed and then watch again. https://t.co/wbdvPycvhN #ZoomCoronavirus #edtech #iscdigital

A slightly longer IT Tip for Teachers today, but one that's a bit more about Wellbeing - tips about managing your inbox. Hope it's useful https://t.co/223BvUgHiN #iscdigital #edtech #teachertraining #wellbeing

This week's IT Tip for Teachers is slightly more advanced, so a little longer at three mins. Very valuable though: ranking data in Excel. #teachertraining #iscdigital #edtech

A busy end to last week and some self-enforced rest over half term means I'm posting this week's IT Tip for Teachers today. A short but useful one: quick summaries in Excel

Back to Excel for this week's IT Tip for Teachers: using filters to help manage data. Big time savings to be had... https://t.co/mdbhS0Af38 #edtech #teachertraining #iscdigital

This week, the teacher training video is about using Styles in Word. They're more powerful than you may think... https://t.co/vftigzNC6g #edtech #teachertraining #iscdigital

Here's this week's two-minute training video for teachers: trying to help you work faster using keyboard shortcuts. https://t.co/ScNKbh38Qx #teachertraining #edtech

I've decided to try and commit to creating a sub-2 minute video a week with IT tips and advice, which I'll add to this playlist. I hope it's useful. https://t.co/ajd5o67YUK #edtech #teachertraining #iscdigital

A couple of years ago I created a video course called "IT for SMT" which I intended to sell to school leaders who wanted to improve their ability to manage IT within their schools. I then forgot about it, so now I'm giving it away for free. https://t.co/xTEgWhIXuV #edtech

A New Year thought: 2020 will probably be the year I’ll start needing to wear glasses. #irony

Year 7 Buddy Readers hard at work listening to Year 5 at lunchtime. Buddy Readers go through a proper application process, writing a letter and being interviewed before they are appointed. What a fantastic way to spend 15 minutes at break! #orwellparkschool

Loving my newly refitted room and looking forward to 70 minute lessons here @OrwellParkSch. Can’t wait to get stuck in #edtech.

Some days it’s easier to go for a run than others. #lovewoodbridge

If you're interested in moving IT forward in your school, then you could do worse than come to this...

Experience is the best school, but it's also the most painful. Other schools are available. #Edshow17
