So many contributors to the Soundscape project- true ecosystem in action - from Microsoft release of the code as open source, through the contribution of @PwC_UK and our community of independent volunteers to release a service so valued by its users.
#TfGS24: The story of the creation of a replacement service based on Microsoft’s Soundscape technology. Starting with a chance observation at last year's summit, a diverse community of volunteers joined forces to create a service now used by thousands of people globally.

Great article highlighting the importance of routines & ideas for types of lesson starters.
@dressCodeHQ have been working with @ScotTechArmy & @stacshq to create a Computing Science specific lesson starter tool! Tool to help everyone & opportunity to contribute #WatchThisSpace
"The start of a lesson can set the tone for the rest of the lesson; when lesson routines become established & consistent, they become entrenched as the normal classroom expectations."
@KateJones_teach on ensuring a smooth and successful start to a lesson.
