OpenLearn : Childhood in the digital age
I have just started a 12 hour OpenLearn course, Childhood in the digital age. However I really need to be working in a school to do this course as the first activity asks
What do you think? How might technology hinder children’s physical, social and cognitive development, and how might it provide exciting opportunities for learning?
Make a note of you thoughts at the start of this course. Use a notebook or digital notepad that you can refer back to at a later date.
So while I can answer the question. I would really like to answer this and other course activities, following discussion with children / young people and teachers, in order to help me answer this with an informed and evidence based approach.
I may therefore defer going any further until I am able to do this. Adds value to working as a TA if I can also use this as a way to help with OU Open Learn courses.
In the meantime I am open to offers of employment.

Imposter Syndrome: 5 tips for overcoming it
No matter how many years you spend in the profession, the first day back after a long break can feel terrifying. In this short course, I’ve shared some simple practical ideas to help you feel more confident about returning to school and to help you manage if things don’t go quite to plan.
Completed this on 7th March 2021. Thank you for making another course free for a week. This is great for my own personal & professional development and shows I am serious about finding ways to improve my skills.

Fosdem talk: Radio Astronomy
I attended a few of the talks at FOSDEM 2021 [1]. The talk on Virgo: A Versatile Spectrometer for Radio Astronomy [2] was interesting, as I am developing more of an interest in space science.
I am linking to the talk information page and the recordings of the talks below.
Worth watching, as it is interesting what is currently being undertaken.

Torbay Covid 19 update 5th March 2021
An update from Torbay’s director of public health, Dr Lincoln Sargeant Lincoln Sargeant
Our cases are falling steadily in the Bay which is great news and we need to keep them coming down, but the virus is still spreading between families living in different households.
Next week is the start of an exciting journey for many of us with the first step of the government’s ‘roadmap out of lockdown’.
From 8 March;
Please remember that despite the easing of some restrictions;
* We are still in lockdown * We need everyone to keep to their own households/bubble when indoors * Keep making space * Keep your contacts to a minimum
In his video this week, our director of public health, Dr Lincoln Sargeant reflects on the year since our first case of COVID-19 in the Bay, the difficulty for all those grieving the 148 lives lost to COVID-19 in Torbay, and he looks to the future as we ease out of lockdown. Watch the video.
Thank you,
Dr Lincoln Sargeant
