Apple store annoyances.

-
Despite the 100 improvements apple have made to iOS4, unfortunately navigating the app store isn't one of them. Why oh why when I view a category such as genius results, when I click back, I'm returned to the top of the list? It's so annoying. The android Market doesn't do that! C'mon apple, pull your finger out!

Drones and social housing savings.

I've just been directed to an excellent blog post entitled 'Superfly guy' from 2014 which strongly suggests that Drones will be the future of housing surveillance and surveying. From this, from the same author Tony Smith, recently tweets, asking .... #Drones were going to save the #socialhousing world, what happened to them? The tweet also contains a link to the original article, which is well worth a read here. http://tonysmiththathousingitguy.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/superfly-guy.html Now, I'm not sure how drones alone could save the social housing world especially with the current state of underfunded affairs. Nevertheless, the idea that they could, or should, save housing companies significant amounts of money and time by simplifying seemingly costly and time consuming survey work at height, is a realistic assumption and one that really needs to be addressed. The article also mentions very briefly, one of the major obstacles that I believe is causing drone...

If, like me, in the past, you've dabbled with Google Classroom, it's perhaps time to have another look. Although you may feel like the amateur or the pupil again, the payoff is well worth going through the learning curve pain, and as I've learnt today, the kids will really help you through it. Lessons are grouped together on the welcome screen. In addition if you're struggling, (like with so many things on Google;) , you can collaborate, meaning a willing teaching assistant, or another Teacher can share the workload and you can do everything together. While the layout of Classroom hasn't changed, some of the functionality has made it a powerful tool for any Teacher with additional benefits for the school. If you're unfamiliar with Clasroom, it's a portal that allows you to collate all of your school lesson plans, activities and resources, and now it indexes childrens work, provides detailed (albeit simple) reports showing who has 'Turned in...

Computer knowledge and inequality in Primary School.

There are several rudimentary tech skills that every year 7 pupil should start High School with. By this age, it would be beneficial if a pupil knew how to complete their school work with a minimum of anxiety. In my experience, we currently do not have parity or equality when it comes to children transitioning into high school. Knowledge levels will be varied depending on the school that the pupil came from and the structure that the school has in place. Some children will complete their first assignments with minimum effort, focusing on the topic, instead of the technical problems, and others may become overwhelmed and anxious, which would lead to a loss of confidence and worry. What skills do I mean? I'm talking about advanced skills that reduce anxiety and pressure when the expectation is put on a child to complete a specific piece of work. Just using presentations and an example, (feel free to use as a checklist) in order of complexity; Adding slides Adding text boxes ...
