Canon Ixus 125 HS. E has started using it to take photos and took this one yesterday.
THE IPHONE 16E isn’t for me. If you’re an avid tech enthusiast and Apple fan, it’s probably not for you either. It’s for the person holding on to an iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X, ready to upgrade because their more than seven-year-old smartphone isn’t working too well nowadays. They want a new phone, and it just needs to be an iPhone.
Looking to replace my iPhone 12 mini and I guess this is me.
What is often missing from the advice given to teachers, however, is what goes on in students’ heads as they see a new teacher (novice or veteran) for the first time. Teachers often overlook (or forget) that students also have a list of what behaviors, knowledge, and skills they expect of their teachers. And just like teacher expectations, student expectations matter.
Huh.
Using this as a guide to find something to read…
The 30 best fiction books of the last 30 years - Los Angeles Times
One particular website wasn’t loading. I tried to be fancy and nothing happened. I switched my MacBook off and on again. Now it works. Lesson learned.
It wasn’t the best part of my day, but this was up there. A student accidentally ripped her paper and I fixed it with unicorn stickers.
Jacob Collier Improvises the National Symphony Orchestra (Live from the Kennedy Center) - YouTube
Watched this with my students this morning.
I wake up and realise I need to check the football score but apparently do it in my head and feel like it real. In my head Arsenal drew. O
Was that meat in the ice cream freezer? No, it’s just strawberry ice cream designed to look like meat. Obviously. I didn’t have it today, but I’ll be going back to try it another time.
Chatting with Elise about a few things.
A few more photos from yesterday in downtown Chongqing as I headed towards Raffles. It’s odd that it feels so different to where we live. Like it’s another city altogether.
(The photos are quickly snapped with my aging iPhone Mini, so…)
On my walk yesterday, I noticed this bench had a wireless charging symbol. Worked too!
Kids were out with L and I was half watching The Accountant and not feeling great. Like I should be doing more with my free time. So went out for a ruck with 20kg and ended up walking nearly 16km. So good for getting out of my head.
Enjoying the 4x3 word association game. 4 groups of 3, except 1 word is common to all groups. Took a little while to get how to play but enjoying it in addition to a few others.
Scrambled egg and cheese ‘burger’ I made for brekkie. E approved.
Had kind of spoiled The Last of Us this week because it’s taken us till today to watch it and I’ve been online. Still, it was a lot. We discussed what happened a fair bit. Interested to see what happens next.
How I Learned About Great Literature from Comic Books
Don’t underestimate the long term impact of childhood exposure. A recent Gallup poll confirms that Americans are reading fewer books nowadays. And it isn’t hard to grasp why that’s the case in our screen-dominated culture. The pattern is set early in life.
To go with the previous link. I never read comics and wonder if now is too late. Is now too late?
I know exactly where my Kindle is. I have lost my Kindle. I’m ok with that.
We took the car to the Honda garage (dealer) unannounced because the key wouldn’t unlock the car. They said it just needed a new battery, which Lyra said she’d tried… Went back a couple of hours later to pick it up and they’ve given it a little clean too. Total cost £1:03
