The internet can be a great place for children to have fun & learn

But it can also be where they see/hear inappropriate things, & be contacted by strangers

I imagine teaching colleagues across the board are becoming a lot more aware of this guy

Inverclyde teachers interested in combatting online exploitation of children still have time to sign up for 1 or more of our CEOP training sessions

No prep, homework or cascading involved

Well done to all involved in last night’s concert!

It was wonderful to see Inverclyde’s young musicians perform live again.

I simply don’t have enough nice things to say about my colleagues in Inverclyde Music Service 😁

@MrsLStPatricks I shouldn't pick favourites but I am particularly interested in what comes out of your conversation around feedback!

Having said that, after two very digital-intensive years I imagine motivation in this area will be a tough nut to crack

[William Brown @WilliamLearning]

I am very much looking forward to this! For many years Mrs Lightfoot has been an unstoppable force in the development of digital education within @inverclyde

@Cannonwdc It’s amazing how a bit of good weather can get you to step away and refocus for a bit.
Is this off the back of Columba 1400? Or is that next week?

[William Brown @WilliamLearning]

Great meeting with @CraigmarlochINV practitioners last night discussing the many different ways computing science can be introduced to the wider curriculum. Outdoor learning, art, business, HFT and beyond. Looking forward to seeing how this pans out!

[William Brown @WilliamLearning]

So. It’s done.

22:22.22 22/2/22 has been and gone.

Last thought on the matter.

There are 11 numbers in the above sequence (all of them the number two)

11!

A one and another one!

And what’s one + one? Oh yes!

[William Brown @WilliamLearning]

Months ago my youngest and I had planned to order some ballerina skirts to wear tonight so that we could wear a Tutu at 22:22.22 22/2/22.

Unfortunately life got in the way and we find ourselves without the appropriate attire for the special occasion ☹️

@Cannonwdc Thanks Mr Cannon. I did indeed.

@PSmithPTMaths @NordiqueNorman High praise from you Mr Smith! Thank you. I will have to carve out my own niche though. There is only one Norman 😀

[William Brown @WilliamLearning]

@john_education @NordiqueNorman Many thanks John!

[William Brown @WilliamLearning]

Just finished my first week in my new role. My accounts are set up, my brain is mush and my predecessor, the mighty @NordiqueNorman, just left the building for an exceptionally well deserved retirement.

Here goes…
