@DXB CNN interviewed Dubai Airports CEO asking “what’s the longest wait time?” … response:” average is 6 hours, a few more than 24…”… totally misleading! SO MANY WAITING SEVERAL DAYS. No help. No food. My wife paid $nz37 for a muffin and can of drink. Disgraceful lack of support

@BeckyCNN I appreciated your heartfelt coverage of New Zealand support of our Muslim family. Also CNN not focusing on the person who inflicted all that pain on others

@DrDavidBoyce Drill a leg sized hole into a block of wood the size of the square base-plate. Bit of glue...screws...done 🙂

This structure to foster whole school change looks great. Maybe it could be adapted to help small learning groups in my physics classes operate more effectively to reflect, encourage and foster better learning for each other...think I'll try it. What works for you?

Thanks to @informed_edu @jessmbrosnan @jillberry102 @Andy__Buck for an informative and reflective day. Theoretical and practical strategies so support whole school coaching. 👍

Retaining teachers: "Reducing workload, creating opportunities for more flexible working, targeting financial incentives on those most likely to leave, providing more support for inexperienced teachers & monitoring (and addressing) staff satisfaction & wellbeing...." @tes 1/2

I’ve seen a lot of great enthusiasm, learning and higher level thinking by students using this great approach

@valmonticue Weigh a 10 kg mass on a spring scale out of the pool and then again suspended from a rope submerged in the pool

@valmonticue Get a student with a water resistant digital watch to sound its alarm under water - students on the other side under water will hear it totally clearly - dispersion

@jillberry102 @mawson_clare Nice advice! The best bit of advice I got when heading to the UAE as an advisor was to first appreciate what they were already doing. Only then to help THEM think through ways to try to improve. Brilliant 😀
