Just fired up my 65" OLED TV to watch Keir Starmer on Sky News and he looks like a useless piece of poo poo. Which setting do I turn off to correct this?

I can only assume they have some polling that says people don't like the regional approach.

On the Starmer thing - will be interested to find out from my buddy-in-the-know how many people don't renew their memberships after the insurgency last January of £25 paying {whatever that insult used against Corbyn supporter joiners back in 2015/16 was with anti- in front of it} Starmer voters. (Locally, around 120 people joined our CLP specifically to vote for Starmer approx 1/8th of the membership).

Was back in school for live lessons today. Went well enough but obvious technical challenge for some. Super fun talking with them again though. Curious to see what my form have to say tomorrow about how they found it. I'm guessing most prefer it to doing nothing or the approach we had during first lockdown of emailing work out. SLT got to spend the afternoon doing the lateral flow testing training.

I've done this for a single day so definitely no expert. School policy is aim for 30 min but can use teacher judgement to go longer. Mine were definitely more like 40-50 min because some activities are a lot less snappy online.

I'm the only (specialized) computing teacher at my school and we've been doing live online lessons via gotowebinar since April. We've also got teams but lol if they'll ever get it set up properly for lessons. We have to do 50 minute lessons as that what we do in school, seems to long for me though. With GCSE classes I've done programming lessons where they just get on with a task rather than a live lesson and that works but I've got to get through theory for my 11s and 10s now. Been given the go ahead to use codecombat for KS3 though so that makes things a lot easier for me! Teaching in a classroom is so much easier but I do not fancy going back to school at the minute at all. I've had to isolate twice since we went back in September and the school had to close for two weeks as well, and that's without the new strain. Second isolation was last week of term and apparently I've got gifts in one of my cupboards from some students, hopefully it's not perishables.

Wonderful for ks3 if you've not done that yet. What did you get them to use for programming? We need to teach a Python unit before options but are rather reticent to do it online. Missing brackets are annoying enough in person. Online it sounds nightmarish. https://create.withcode.uk/ seems like the best one I've seen specifically aimed for students. What's the Teams issue? We got it done over summer and it works well enough. Only use the basics as a school though I get to lead a training session about using OneNote which will give lots of headaches.

Online it sounds nightmarish. My school does VB in KS3 and C# in KS4 so I use smallbasic for 7s and not done any home programming with 8s this year yet. (We do this as the main ks3 cs teacher before me knew a bit of VB, and my hod who is also a specialised cs teacher but prefers maths (is department of maths and computing) likes C#.) Reckon hod wants to change to python soon and I'm all for it. Re: Teams. There just seems to be a lot of functionality missing that I think the it techs just haven't clicked the box to allow it. (Deleting student messages, scheduling meetings, restricting students file accessibility.) I'm using it for assignment submissions and stuff so I'm paperless but it just doesn't seem usable in its current state for live lessons.

The only saving grace of the last year for me was having my mid-teaching career breakdown before it, thus finding myself in a perfectly remoteable SQL monkey job during the pandemic. Solidarity with you teachers, I do know how you do it and it's incredible.
