Ah, the joys of transitioning to blackboard "ultra" #HigherEd #OnlineLearning

The child's personal finance class is looking at household energy bills today and how they are calculated.
Its taking all my willpower not to rant about standing charges!
I love the fact that he is being taught practical skills, I really wish we had been taught this stuff at school.

Earlier, I shared concerns from a popular #EdTech forum:

Licensing renewal for hosted Instructure Canvas is increasing by a staggering 24% over the next 3 years.

It's interesting that #HigherEducation will apparently stick with a proprietary system, even as prices soar. However, it will migrate off an #OpenSource system as soon as any costs are incurred.

For my German followers; there's a great talk by @derPUPE about the story of "the internet" before the www.

The roots of chats, touchscreens and nearly every little bit of nowadays ubiquitous tech goes back to the PLATO system.

New video, 4 mins about “Balawat Gates” of Ancient Assyria.

These gates stood at the entrances of palaces and temples in the ancient town of Balawat in Mesopotamia, during the 800s BC. The gates are known for their architectural design, artistic expression, and portrayals of the king(s).
