@mart_compton Welcome to the club! 😂

[David Watson @springfishblue]

We're looking for a new colleague to help @prisca_eyedea and I deliver our growing MA Web Design & Content Planning programme here @UniofGreenwich. We'd love to hear from you if you love Web and you love teaching: https://t.co/HdvssAZql6

[David Watson @springfishblue]

@eskins @Mr_Dave_Haslam Agreed. I saw them on 11th September 1982. I can remember feeling disappointed and almost gave up on them. Fortunately, in March 1983, Blue Monday changed that!

Thanks @seaotta for a great talk at #SotB2021 Seems like native HTML form elements have a bright future. Thanks for enlightening us.

What a wonderful and refreshing talk for #SotB2021 by @eatwholegrain Tom Greenwood on Sustainability in Web Design. Tom's book now on my phone. Will read!
@webstandards

[David Watson @springfishblue]

How lovely to be back at #SotB2021 after such a long time without seeing lovely Web people at a conference. Thanks to @webstandards for all your efforts!

[David Watson @springfishblue]

@webstandards So a text, confirming the reported result is acceptable?

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Please remember it is against college policy to turn your in-person course into a hybrid course. Also, please make sure all your lectures are recorded and accessible in real time and that they are asynchronously available online for students who need them and can’t attend!

[David Watson @springfishblue]

@BenCanTeach @mart_compton Honestly Martin, you could probably learn all you need to know in about half an hour. It's not pretty, but CSS inline styles is probably the most useful hack for Moodle.

[David Watson @springfishblue]

@BenCanTeach @mart_compton JavaScript may be overkill but a little bit of CSS goes a long way and can really help knock your Moodle type design into shape.

[David Watson @springfishblue]

@mart_compton @Puiyin Me too. I feel like it was an experiment I never really recovered from. Took me a long time to enjoy reading for pleasure.

[David Watson @springfishblue]

@KatherineCory I thought I was the only one 😂 Certainly the best cover designs around at the time.

Teaching is perhaps 100x harder than we expect. The common misconception is that it’s about sharing your knowledge; it’s not. Rather, it’s about understanding what’s in the student’s mind, modeling that in your mind, building a bridge from the student’s mental state to yours.

[David Watson @springfishblue]

@not_compston Aw, Martin! I'll be sorry to see you go... but happy for you. I'm sure this will be a positive move.

[David Watson @springfishblue]

One of my favourite albums and a classic!
