Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Day of data jobs ahead. And it's not raining!

Have a good day all ☕

Anyone else at #BETTUK2026 from the south west looking at travel difficulties later?

Weighing up options - if there's a few of us maybe worth car hire

Anyone come across any good reading assessment tools at #BETTUK2026 ?

On a 3D printer hunt too.

Thanks! It was very good, and good to catch up with people too. Even got a bit of sitting by the Thames into the day too

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! CIC report writing followed by @arboreducation.bsky.social 's data conference today.

Firstly a run though.

Have a good day all ☕

Excel to plan staff load, then into timetabler to put it all together is my preferred method.

I think there is a way to do it all in timetabler but I haven't delved into it enough

teachmeet bett 2026 - thurs jan 22nd. 5 to 6.30. Excel @ Bett. Table talk area

It's almost time for TeachMeet BETT 2026. Kicking off the 20th year of Teachmeets. No sign up needed to attend, you'll just need a Bett Show ticket to get into ExCel. We'll be in the Table Talk area.

Hope you enjoy your day!

I used to go to find useful stuff or systems for school, now I go to look at and compare ideas.

This year I'm on the hunt for data visualisation ideas and budget friendly science ideas/kit.

Morning!

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Up early putting the finishing touches to cover work. Interviewing candidates for an admin role this morning then London bound this afternoon. The road to #BETT and @arboreducation.bsky.social 's conference begins.

In the meantime, tea is much required ☕

😂

Analysing behaviour data to find the most popular locations pupils have going for a sneaky wee (not in the toilets) was really not the data analysis I imagined I would be doing this evening.....

Colin's run are always great 👍

"There is indeed no better medium for moral teaching than the good fairy-story (by which I mean a real deep-rooted tale, told as a tale, and not a thinly disguised moral allegory)."

#edusky #thisisap there's quite a bit about education. Very thought provoking episode.

Enjoyable is probably the wrong word, absorbing is closer to it.

The #airfix stage of parenting is pretty good

Whilst I have very mixed feelings about using AI to code, it has enabled me to code a #python script to process sportive race results and send SMSs in a fraction of the time it would have taken me otherwise....

A lot of manual checking/changing, but still a lot faster

Decent day for a duathlon!

Yes. In fact it has already begun with WhatsApp web. Today we tackle how to use the soundbar....

That sounds busy! ☕

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Up early replying to emails before the day starts (and more arrive).

Still on four wheels after this weekends bike malfunction, but new wheel has arrived so looking forward to returning to two wheels before long.

Might explain one or two things... Ah well not like December isn't already an expensive month

Ouch. The constant colds my boys bring home now seem much less unpleasant!

Just showing up and being there for the kids counts. Yes there's everything else (which is important), but mostly that just requires chipping away at. Hope you have a brilliant Friday

Just tried out Spotify lossless on the kit I use for editing broadcast stuff for radio.

It is very very good through a good soundcard and good broadcast headphones...

Very very very good.... Apollo 13 the launch especially

Taking a break from death by spreadsheet to catch up on some post production for @crplymouth.bsky.social Cross Rhythms Experience (yes it's coming back), who doesn't love a motorised fader!

It's a bit wet down south too! Have a good day

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Monday feels like it has come a little too soon this week.

Going to be a day of tea, teaching and quite possibly swearing at a computer screen.

Have a good day all ☕
