@KeelinLeahy @UL Always an absolute gentleman and willing to help, with his vast knowledge and experience. A Legend. Enjoy the retirement Richie.

On Richie's final day supporting @UL #LM094 #Year4 #technologyeducation #woodtechnology we nearly made him draw a tear! A huge thank you for all the work on WT modules and wishing you a Happy Retirement!

@levdavidovic I hope that you enjoyed that Fintan. It's looks rather nice 🍻.

Nothing added but time #nightout

@DixonsDt They really look amazing. Excellent project idea.

Just trying to get a little Perspective on things with second and third year groups. They seem to love it. #JCT #jcreform #t4

@GaryOKeeffe Hi Gary. I'm a woodwork teacher working in Waterford. I'm remotely teaching a group of EROC students myself and have assembled some teaching resources. I don't have time to take on more work myself, but I would have no problem sharing my resources with someone if it helps.

there have been so many people who were interested in helping. It was really kind to see given the current climate with the pandemic and general uncertainty around everything. So thanks all, and looking forward to hearing from anyone or any company who thinks they can help. (4)

An update for anyone who contacted me offering to teach children in a refugee camp, for an hour p/week online. After talking to the organisation they were delighted with the offers, and gave me more info. I’ll email anyone who showed interest by tomorrow evening (1) #edchatie

@S0Ceallaigh Hey Seamus. How are things.There is only room for one of us on there and that Hamster is hogging it 😉.

@dungarvanman Get on that hamster wheel Marty

My 10 year old daughter was wondering how far her hamster would run at night. Considering his small size, he is putting me to shame. He did just over 1km last night #Microbit

@CreativeDynamix Roisín, my wife teaches Irish. She suggests that you have a look a teanglann.ie 😉

whats the Irish word for ideal?

@CreativeDynamix Idéalach

@RayWestcott @Workshopshed Ray, you have been reading my mind😉

@andysc Andy, I believe that for this application, the sensor used is the accelorometer. Have a look here: microbit.org/get-started/fi…

@dungarvanman What are you using for the sensor? The built-in magnetometer in the micro:bit?

@hannahmakes Hi Hannah. I am planning to build a better wheel myself for Henry over the next few days. I'll use a cnc machine to cut Birch plywood and use proper bearings to reduce friction. I bet he will travel further on it. I wonder, would a cat really like to use such an exercise wheel 🤔

@dungarvanman This is fantastic! I want to build a bigger version for my cats now!

Here s the link to this 40 minute freehand sketching tutorial for classwork or homework. youtu.be/q0q6PE-ZmQs

Say hello to the brand new BBC micro:bit! We got an early hands on and have written an in depth article about the new device and what if offers. Take a look here: micromag.cc/microbit-v2-an… #microbit @microbit_edu

Due to Covid, I have had to make some modifications to the woodwork benches, to facilitate practical lessons. Tool presses are now nearly empty and the students have everything they need at their bench, minimising the need for movement around the room. Lucky I had a decent CNC.

@MissMarshallCDT Those look like an amazing resource for students.I'd really appreciate a copy also please if you wouldn't mind: martinbates@wwetb.ie Thanks in advance.

It's taken me less time than I thought to complete this💪 Thank you to everyone who has been so positive about this small project and those that offered to help! I will start emailing these out to those that have kindly given me their email now #edutwitter 💙
