@lindamciver Hi Linda, thanks for your reply and sorry I didn't get back to you. I found the site givit.org.au and they were happy to help with a section specifically for schools so I advised the schools I knew. Much better than a spreadsheet.

#Coding friends! In the absence of govt help, public schools in nth NSW are in dire need of books, pencils, textas, clothing & care packages. Know anyone who could create a simple website to help co-ordinate items needed & donations received? #LismoreFloods #AussieEd

When I stopped regularly tweeting, not one of my 838 followers asked #RUOK . Not even those I've met irl or done unpaid work for. If someone you know goes quiet, it's ok to reach out and ask them "R U OK? " #RUOKDay ruok.org.au

@darynsimon Awesome. Please tell him to keep going. He could make his own Vimeo series, or YouTube channel. Suggest he could also do short intros to the characters. "I am ____. I'm good at ______" with them talking to camera.

My little Lego/ Playmobil obsessed 6 y/o has made his first ever stop motion animation. And he wants you to see all 4 seconds of it.

@r_nd_rgh @lvan61 1) Govt cuts back public service then always blames public servants when there is a stuff up. 2) Do the maths. Working age pop'n 16 Million. How were 6.5M due to receive JobKeeper? 3) What use is a treasurer if he can't question spending $130 Billion??

@dothinkeducate If you have nothing to complain about, be thankful for your privilege. My casual income went to $0. Govt "had to draw the line somewhere" so I got $0. I'm still paying rent, trying to eat. Now it seems they had $60 billion they were willing to spend. Damn right I'm complaining.

@r_nd_rgh Because it gives people something else to complain about?

@lvan61 @r_nd_rgh Govt estimated the cost BEFORE any forms filled. Completely over-stated how many would get support to make themselves look good, knowing later saying "It didn't cost as much as we expected", some would think "Oh, that's good!" Meanwhile, millions have raided their super to eat.

@r_nd_rgh Even if the govt was right the numbers don’t stack up.

@r_nd_rgh They chose an arbitrary amount they could "afford". "Had to draw a line". 100's of thousands got NO assistance, incl. bushfire survivors (As a casual I got 0. No income, still have to pay rent). Turns out they're not even spending 1/2 of the amount. 😡 twitter.com/DalePearce3/st…

#Teachers, this #digibook examines the history of National Sorry Day (26 May) and its significance in the nation's political and social history. #SorryDay #Indigenous

@piatweets We now need to hear the story!

At dinner with my Dad tonight he said “Did I ever tell you about when I met Timothy Leary?” “No you did not!?!?!?!?” Seriously!

@AusCompAcademy @groklearning Teachers, all the @AusCompAcademy and @groklearning resources are FREE to access for years 3 - 12 until July 5th 2020.

@iamdanielgreen Hi Daniel, sorry I missed this reply. Have been on my other account mostly of late. Have you got something working yet? The main Q is how detailed your animation needs to be and if it's 2D or 3D. Both Pencil & Blender are for complex work. Blender for 3D.

@iamdanielgreen Don't bother with Adobe. Do you know @blender_org ? Or try @powtoon OpenToonz, Pencil 2D, Animaker. And don't forget @scratch !

#Parents and #teachers, just in case you need any extra resources to support students, here's a glimpse of what’s on ABC ME tomorrow! There's lots to choose from. View tomorrow's schedule plus the rest of the week here: ab.co/2V6cY2T #aussieED

@dzyngier @EduSum @ItaButtrose @ABCEducationAU @abcmelbourne PM is not sending his own kids to school. Happy to endanger teachers though. #closeschoolsnow #LockdownNow #AussieEd

@EduSum @ItaButtrose @ABCEducationAU @abcmelbourne I can't support the PM while kids & their teachers are at risk every day school remains open. #aussieEd

Why aren't we using ABC ME &KIDS channels to do the same? @ItaButtrose

@DalePearce3 Meantime public schools can't afford hand sanitiser.

It'll take more than the coronavirus to end the age of entitlement. smh.com.au/national/indep…

@townesy77 Depends a bit what they are into but agree w other suggestions re books, indoor games/puzzles. Also, science experiments, simple robots. Probably don't need to tell you about Minecraft and other online games!

So my mum's neighbour lost his job as a chef this week. She wants to buy a gift for each of his FIVE kids aged 9mths-11years!!! My heart breaks for them. What should she buy them? Crowd sourcing suggestions. Also, my Mum is a legend! #covid19australia #MumsAreSuperheroes

@JohnRob16933826 All of that requires parents to be at home. We should have a lockdown now. All non-essential workers to be at home. Schools only open for children of essential workers or for some reason can't be at home.

@sheep_witchy @Milliganreports On halve the numbers per classroom and spread the out as much as posdible. Alternatively one half of the class comes day on day on and the other half comes day two and so on.

THREAD: 1. GOOD news for Vic public schools anxious re #COVID19au. Following my tweet yesterday - Melb school w no soap in toilets/teacher personally buying 4 sanitiser pumps for 1100 ppl, CEO, Vic School Building Authority just called: They’ve sourced 10000 sanitiser dispensers.
