Once a week, I pull a lateral move and go for a walk without notice cancelling close-back headphones, and, when taken in in small doses, the sonic assault of the urban cacophony can be almost enjoyed for its complexity, like a pinball for mindfulness.
I recently learnt of #TeachFX - an #AI classroom system that analyses classroom talk to give feedback on pupil participation, oracy, use of subject keywords, and analyse the teacher's "#teaching style" to improve it.
It's also willingly bugging your classroom, sending all recorded audio to tech startup with opaque processes, systems, and funding, putting #teachers under constant observation, automating "performance reviews", and #surveillance of classroom discourse.

Explaining CPU exceptions to A-Level #CS Students:
"It's a priority queue. So when I'm teaching your colleagues of Year 7, if one needs me, I go help them.... Another calls, they have to wait their turn... But if one gets a nosebleed, I have to address that first..."
I got a class of 14 year olds #GCSE#CS teens through two's complement, so, having finished their spinach, in the last lesson of the week I got them to make a Mondrian-like piece in processing, to use as a logo for the Teams
@MrBerard@edutooters The best bit is in the intro: "so who can tell me what 1 + 1 is?"
When you show that x + -x = 0 in 2s comp, there's generally this "oh, wow" moment, which is a small payoff.
