@MathsXer @SimonFittockEDU @MAWAinc I think the correct answer is “Person Woman Man Camera TV”

@peddaller @xkcd Milk is a fluid, therefore quite difficult to grab. Any suggestions?

@microbit_edu Hello! I just discovered that the automated .hex uploader is no longer available now that Touch Develop has been shut down. This was an incredibly useful tool. Any idea if there will be a replacement? Thanks in advance! https://t.co/48fODbko4z

@SimonFittockEDU @AusCompAcademy @TeachersCanCode Haha thanks! That does sound like something I would say. You have a good memory!

Ok, here is a link to a blog post with instructions to build your own kid friendly and safe table saw. They are a bit rough in places but a lot is down to you to decide in terms of sizes https://t.co/c8mT81KYdj
Hope this is useful

@Annaritzy Exciting update! Turns out I was wrong again about Scratch, simulating orbits is totally possible and the code is actually fairly simple. Scratch is amazing! Let me know what you think:

Students in music are composing 8bit style video game music through simple polyphonic sequencing using https://t.co/R70Jdpway0 #edtech

@Annaritzy Only way to do this properly that I can think of would be using some fancy Trigonometric functions, which are a bit beyond the range of Scratch...

[Tim Schmitz @tjs4]

@Annaritzy Awesome! Have you tried animating the moon so that each frame shows the moon on a different part of its orbit around the Earth? Then have the origin/centre of each frame not on the moon itself, but where the center of the Earth should be.

@SimonFittockEDU @standouted @ScitechPL It’s very much semantics though

[Tim Schmitz @tjs4]

@SimonFittockEDU @standouted @ScitechPL If I tell you my name in conversation, that is information. But it has to be converted into machine format (numbers) to be considered data.

[Tim Schmitz @tjs4]

@SimonFittockEDU @standouted @ScitechPL DNA contains data, but I don’t think it actually *is* data any more than yoghurt is data 🙂

[Tim Schmitz @tjs4]

@standouted @ScitechPL Possibly. We still need more data to answer that question.

@ScitechPL Photos, video, audio and transcripts are all examples of Qualitative Data. A list of thermometer readings is Quantitative Data. #21cEdChat

@standouted @ScitechPL It didn’t fit in the character limit... Google Forms has less letters!

@ScitechPL How computers store and process data is a core concept of Digital Technologies (and an important general capability IMHO) #21cEdChat
