How big is a million? Turns out it's bigger than I’d imagined, as I learned from this @waitbutwhy post: waitbutwhy.com/2014/11/from-1…. This led to a poster being ordered and mounted in my @ICHK_edu classroom. 999,999 black dots. 1 red dot. #edstuff #mathchat #data

“Can We Stop Software From Eating School?” by Ross Parker link.medium.com/yKkTqlyh43 Rethinking use of mobiles in school carefully, not just a knee-jerk ban. Worth a read ⁦@ICTEvangelist⁩ ⁦@musicmind⁩

A massive thanks to @edpuzzle for giving the teachers of @ICHK_edu free Pro access to their tools. The aim is to help our students keep learning during the current school closure. What a lovely, caring team they have!
