hi-impact tech

For the first time in over 50 years, humans are Moonbound. At 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC) NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft lifted off from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending four astronauts on a planned test flight around the Moon and back. go.nasa.gov/4tlRfRS

EXA's April fool..

@exanetworks Surely you need to test different types of teapot..Porcelain, Metal, China..catering size ones made of steel! 😆 I'm guessing you're only using @YorkshireTea ?

Big breakthrough from our team… We’ve officially upgraded our infrastructure to run on Tea ☕ Early testing shows a direct correlation between brew strength and bandwidth. Rolling out across Yorkshire now. #Yorkshire #Connectivity Proper brew, Proper network.

Apple have always been at the forefront of technology, and the iPad is now the de-facto educational tablet used in schools everywhere!..Happy Birthday Apple! #Apple50

We're hosting a free event at our offices on the 23rd April looking at all aspects of digital safeguarding, and the latest Google for Education updates. You don't have to be a hi-impact school to attend either!.. #digitalsafeguarding #teaching #googleedu

There's a lot of Windows 3.1/95/98/2000 and XP in modern versions of Windows, if you dig around a bit

If you've ever wanted to investigate the radio spectrum as part of your #STEM lessons - have a look at.. blinry.org/50-things-with… The equipment is pretty cheap, and you can learn the dark art of antenna building!...

#Apple50 Apple has always been at the forefront of educational tech..Thanks to Apple's innovation, and app developers worldwide, there's now iPads in every classroom!

Are any of my schools, or any hi-impact schools interested in this? - With the ISS (apparently) being taken out of service in 2030, we're running out of opportunities! #Wirralschools #STEM #hamradio #hiimpactschools

Memory management in MS-DOS was a nightmare, squeezing every last kilobyte out of that 640k to get games running took patience!..and then there was extended and expanded memory! At least for Win95 onwards - your RAM was treated as one block!

Congrats to the members of Wick High School Radio Club! #STEM

We're aware that Securly has had issues throughout the day, but has just gone down again in the last few mins (as of 1pm) This is a worldwide outage, and we have no ETA for a fix.

Keeping safeguarding records consistent and up to date can be challenging when information sits in different systems. StudentKeeper’s two-way integration with CPOMS removes that barrier. Notes and captures can be submitted directly into CPOMS, with updates flowing back into StudentKeeper so nothing is missed. Autofill speeds up reporting, timestamps add clarity, and independent capture logs provide full audit visibility. It gives safeguarding teams a smoother, more reliable workflow — reducing duplication and supporting quicker, more informed responses for pupils.

We're on the lookout for someone to join our MIS team!

Full nerd! 🤣

Apple engineers its laptops to have some flex so that they withstand drops. Not many companies can match the level of hardware testing Apple does.

Safeguarding is increasingly complex, especially when digital activity is spread across multiple devices and systems. Ativion StudentKeeper brings this together into one clear, consistent view. With full visibility across all devices - including iPads - DSLs can quickly identify patterns, emerging risks and changes in behaviour. The platform’s dashboards, real-time alerts and trust-level reporting make it easier to intervene early and make informed decisions. Seamless two-way integration with CPOMS also ensures that every note and capture is recorded accurately, without duplicated work or gaps in a child’s chronology. This creates a more connected, reliable and proactive approach to digital safeguarding for schools and Trusts.

We are aware that #cloudfare is down.. This may cause some issues with TTRS, Canva, Zoom and other systems. Other systems may be affected as well
