S1 @gacomputing @girvanacademy pupils have been learning about the design of retro computer games, going on creating them in scratch. They loved making their own version of space invaders!

Shout out to anyone who sets their class off on a task, then carries on talking 30 seconds later because they feel the need to fill the silence with the sound of their own voice. #edutwitter

As per the SQA and ScotGov policy I am currently trying to rank my students, knowing full well this info may be used to give them poorer grades than they deserve. This is undoubtedly the worst thing I've had to do in a decade of teaching.

To clarify, teachers are not wanting to stay home or shirk work. All educators want to be at school with the children they love, care for and have worked so hard for in the current challenges we face. But they want to open when it is safe to do so; when they can keep schools safe
