This is an UNMISSABLE session! I have long been trying to solve this puzzle, how to harness the awesome learning power of technology, whilst shielding students from the destructive hopelessness of social media?
I can't wait to hear more! Thank you @rossdotparker 🙏

[Ross Parker @rossdotparker]

Pleased to be able to share our new #FreeLearning book, published by @routledgebooks.

Written by a team of practicing teachers and experienced academics, it puts Free Learning on a firm, research-backed footing.

How big is a million? Turns out it's bigger than I’d imagined, as I learned from this @waitbutwhy post: https://t.co/LjJcEP1jLw.

This led to a poster being ordered and mounted in my @ICHK_edu classroom. 999,999 black dots. 1 red dot.

https://t.co/LAshx62m5a Rethinking use of mobiles in school carefully, not just a knee-jerk ban. Worth a read ⁦@ICTEvangelist⁩ ⁦@musicmind⁩

[Ross Parker @rossdotparker]

A massive thanks to @edpuzzle for giving the teachers of @ICHK_edu free Pro access to their tools. The aim is to help our students keep learning during the current school closure. What a lovely, caring team they have!
