Still sharing awesome stuff I find every day on @TutorGroupThink Interesting stuff for you to share with your tutor group or other classes. Share wide and make the (excessive) I spend on the internet worthwhile.

34 years ago Voyager 1 turned its cameras back to Earth as it was leaving the solar system forever. That picture remains the most distant of Earth ever taken. In it the Earth is just a Pale Blue Dot. Show your tutees this incredible picture. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

Love tomorrow’s TGT. Did you know Kenya recently gave everyone a new national holiday and asked them to plant trees during it? I think that’s an amazing idea. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink
Tomorrow’s TGT is a little bit of cultural capital for your students. The 40th anniversary of the first showing of a ground-breaking music video. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

I've just published an awesome blog about tutor time, building on the @TutorGroupThink account I ran. Putting links in a tweet kills the algorithm, so the link is in the last tweet I sent and my bio......

Teachers: Why are you still on X, reading a timeline of hatred, when you could be on Threads reading great blogs like this one by @TChillimamp? threads.net/@drchillimamp/po…

Tomorrow’s TGT celebrates the anniversary of a classic video game and asks if we should venerate video games in the same way as art, music and film. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

Most kids probably won’t want to get up early, but they definitely won’t if we don’t highlight the opportunity. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

Due to the clear attitudes of the owner of this website, I can no longer post on here. I'm moving to a Google slides document you can find here: bit.ly/TutorGroupThink Thanks for following, and I hope you've found interesting things from me here over the years!

There was a point in first lockdown where I thought we might come out of this a kinder society. - Proper sick pay - Appreciation of illness - Need for quarantine - Masks around the sick and in healthcare. Nope. We just spiralled into a nastier place.

Notifications are becoming unusable on here. Just so many sex accounts liking random posts, flooding the page and meaning you miss actual interactions.

This is a fraction of todays. They all have similar text in the bio. So simple to filter these out. But sure, let's trust this company to replace banks 🙃
