Hi, I'm Looking for #recommendations & #Reviews on #VR #Headsets - I've been looking at @oculus Quest 2 / Rift S. Just looking for something entry level, I like that Quest can use own processing and hook up to PC. Not keen on @Facebook login. Other brands & Products considered.

@shanelegend23 @nearpod Hi Shane, great idea & excellent use of VR, I really enjoyed your simple walkthrough video too. I'll have to have a go with @nearpod

I've just had my first @OpenUniversity module towards my BSc in Computing graded & returned as Distinction! 🎉 I'll be celebrating once we get out this tutorial 😁😂

Looking forward to supporting this new digital CPD initiative for November 😀

@TMCpatisserie Excellent video & student participation! 😁

@Dale_Munday @DrFionaDixon @sway @AdobeSpark Thanks @Dale_Munday! I'll check out Sway & Adobe Spark. The assessment criteria is too tight for us to micro-blog on Twitter and draws a boundary between social network & blog platform.

I've recently started to deliver a course which requires students to submit posts on 2 different blog platforms. Does anyone have any simple ideas how we can accomplish this? -Setting up an entire blog is beyond the scope of the course Thanks #edutwitter

So, I gave it another go, resisted pressing 'Check Now' and it took 45 mins to #turnOn the #Kettle (Applet: 111662904)

[Tom Armstrong @TomArmstrong824]

Hi everyone at @IFTTT I've created a #Webhook to turn on my @Smarter_AM kettle (webhook generated by @home_assistant) but it doesn't run unless i press 'Check Now' - Any Ideas?
