Something schools really really need to be aware of
How hard would it be to give all pp pupils free internet / data

[Matt Hood @matthewhood]

🚨Me shouting about 'zero rating' again (that's tech for 'no data charges for using education websites')🚨 @Ofcom reckon 1m kids do remote ed via mobile, 20% of households are struggling to pay for the data and 5% are cutting back on food and clothes to pay it. This is not ok

[TandLFactory @TandLFactory]

This is an absolute shambles

Science Teachers! With remote learning on the horizon, here is a short thread with some useful free resources. Please read to the end and make sure to share widely - we need to help each other.

Why can't humans be more penguin

[🐝🐉meindiva🎶🎭💙 @meindiva]

The lighter penguin is an elderly female whose partner died this year. The darker one is a younger male who lost his partner two years ago. Biologists have followed them as they meet every night to comfort each other. They stand for hours together watching the lights in Melbourne

Aren’t these the same tests that schools are meant to be using in less than two weeks?

Are they genuinely spinning the supply of laptops - most of which never arrived - as a win. This is getting beyond a joke

[Department for Education @educationgovuk]

These schoolchildren from @DT__LDA explain the difference made to their education after being given a laptop by their school, through the government's
scheme👇

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

Been for a asymptomatic community covid test today (presumably similar to the ones we’ve been asked to administer in schools from January), so I thought I’d share my experience on what it was like and how this might work (or not work) in schools. See thread 👇🏻

[Laura McInerney @miss_mcinerney]

The unions absolutely must present the government with a list of things that schools can no longer do while also being required to do testing, or a bill for the additional staff to allow all services to continue.
The NHS has NOT just carried on doing everything *plus* Covid.

[Justin Feldman @jfeldman_epi]

Children don't get covid. But if they do they don't spread it. But if they do they don't get it at school. But if they do it's just at rates that reflect what's happening in the the area and doesn't drive community spread. But if it does this is really about greedy unions.

Just how much longer can this country afford to have Boris Johnson remain as Prime Minister?

[Tom Starkey @tstarkey1212]

If I'd arsed things up as badly as this government has, I would of retired to the drawing room with a brandy and a pistol and done the decent thing what what.

@PaulGarvey4 they've all hit the pub & started pre Christmas drinking early

There’s been so many great online presentations in 2020 ... I’ve collected them & put them in one place with categories such as leadership, dual coding, curriculum, retrieval practice, well-being, CPD & more!

Check it out here, hope it’s useful 😁 https://t.co/26vUyNyhB2

"This is all about education being our national priority."

No, it's not. If it was, you'd leave it to the experts.

Y13 been making 3D labelled HIV particles - one of them says "well the educational content of my Xmas baubles has just gone up"

Some more cool reindeer facts - reindeer do get red noses, it's a sign of infestation of nose botfly eggs. So rudolf has parasitic infection

[Chat Biology @chatbiology]

We know plasma membranes are fluid but did you know Reindeer hoof cell membranes have a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol than cells in their upper legs? Hooves experience much colder temp so this adaptation allows membrane fluidity at the lower temps.
