Google & Microsoft Forms should have a setting to allow teachers to disable pasting text. Kids will still use AI etc to do their homework, but they’ll have to type the answers themselves and therefore actually read the answers first

Classes in periods 1 and 2 tomorrow have tests scheduled. They’ve been scheduled for months. I guess I’m going to be unpopular

My son needs another AirTag for his keys. So far he’s broken one and lost one. How do you lose an AirTag? 🙄

Due to the heat, schools are closing, takeaways & restaurants are closing, shops are closing, bin collectors are starting and finishing early, pub kitchens are closing…

So if you’re still working in extreme heat, don’t complain about teachers, complain about your crap boss!

[Grumpy Computer Science Teacher @GrumpyCompSci]

@HLTAUK Yes, my room’s lovely and cool, but so few classrooms have AC. I really feel for staff and students in the other rooms. Our school’s been closing early

School: “It’s going to be 34°c, so dress for comfort. School uniform rules are suspended”

Student: “Great. I’m gonna wear my hoodie”

My top #heatwave tip: When posting, holding the 0 gives you the ° symbol (iOS) / Press the ? 123 then press the =\< it's in the 2nd row of symbols (Android)

You’re welcome

The number of students wearing jumpers or jackets today beggars belief ☀️🥵

Thanks to gain time, I don’t have to teach any sleep-deprived cranky kids tomorrow morning 😂

@TsuiAllen The PiHut. We have four of them chained to give 128 x 128 pixels, powered by an Interstate 75 (a Pi Pico, so we can program it using Micro Python)

@TsuiAllen @MrTimDunn They’ve arrived!

[Grumpy Computer Science Teacher @GrumpyCompSci]

@TsuiAllen @MrTimDunn OMG!

[Grumpy Computer Science Teacher @GrumpyCompSci]

@TsuiAllen @MrTimDunn I’m not having much luck with LED matrices at the moment. Ordered 2 and they don’t work. Ordered 4 different ones and, a month later, they still haven’t arrived. Maybe I should stick to Micro:bits 🙄

This is what my website would have looked like in a few days, once the final few images were sorted. Now I’m going to rewrite it for Zapworks
@ZapparApp

[Grumpy Computer Science Teacher @GrumpyCompSci]

@MrWalker_CS We’re looking at Zapworks, which looks good, but I’m concerned in case they go the way of the others. Or OpenSpace, which looks neglected but should be around a while. Decisions, decisions…

Absolutely furious! I’ve just created loads of resources for next year’s Year 11 students to do their IT Augmented Reality coursework (assets, worksheets, YouTube videos) using Blippar. We subscribed last week. Today, they’ve pulled the product! 😡😡😡 #EduTwitter #TeamCompSci

@MrWalker_CS What are you going to use instead?
