I presented a session about DT&HM Online for NCEA to a great group of #digitaltechnologies teachers and #lifelonglearners this week at @CS4HS_AUT. It's rewarding being able to share such a great resource, free to NZ schools.

People who were wondering today at @CS4HS_AUT about bringing students to @SheSharp_NZ events (or just attending themselves as teachers), I fully recommend it. Getting familiar with places and people and ideas in tech is 👍

@andymakes_ Bravery, freedom, fun.

What's your definition of creativity? #edchatnz

How can we inspire more kids from low decile schools to get into STEM? #ch4hs

@Mahsabanoo @CS4HS_AUT @nzdzeni @AUTuni These are fun!

How cool is this magic puzzle which was designed by one of our talented digital technologies teachers @nzdzeni at @CS4HS_AUT conference. Thank you for the gift; enjoyed sitting down to this with cup of tea after a long first day @CS4HS_AUT @AUTuni. Bring on day 2!

Hopefully a cool tool to support awareness of human impact and sustainability.

@teuilafuatai @SheTeachesTech @tinangata Can you link me to your original article on racism one not behind a paywall like to share it with friend overseas

A useful phrase from @teuilafuatai this morning, re being clear with covid-deluded friends/fam: "... I say this with love ... what you're suggesting does not mesh with my understanding... and I actually think it's harmful"

@hamish_keith @teuilafuatai @tinangata Sorry @hamish_keith, the article I read (about responding constructively to covid-ignorance) belongs to @nzherald. They may be able to help.

Also explains kids not doing their chores.

My cat isn't meowing at the door every 5 mins just to be a pain in the arse, she cares deeply about my physical health and wants me to leave the computer occasionally. #lockdown #exercise

@andymakes_ My classes loved 10fastfingers - a lesson per term of typing test competition and mayhem. I reminded then they are competing against their own initial score, not the person next to them. Then I'd dramatically test myself (with projector on) and loudly act exasperated. Fun!

Lil bit surprised to find out that I only type at around 25WPM 😅 Used this tool to work it out 10fastfingers.com/typing-test/en… Now using keybr.com to level up my touch typing. Especially as someone who enjoys writing ! Aiming for 65WPM by EOY 💪
