"Over millennia"

There is no evidence that immunity occurs when you catch it. There is more evidence that any immunity that you do get is temporary. Herd immunity is no answer at all. Unless you're a eugenicist. The only answer is an effective vaccine, be it one that works temporarily like the flu jabs, or one that has more long term immunity effect.

Which is a reasonable argument if the cable they supply had a USB-A connector on the end, and not a USB-C one.

I can't begin to explain my fury at this idiot But the Gofundme terms of service say for the legal defence of alleged crimes associated with hate, violence, harassment, bullying, discrimination, terrorism, or intolerance of any kind relating to race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, serious disabilities or diseases, financial crimes or crimes of deception; So fingers crossed Gofundme shut him down.​

3 years, 6 months, 16 days since they launched SIMS 8 via press release, with an expectation of uncontrolled adoption from January 2018.

You have a free tier of Book Creator on the web that offers everything the iPad version can offer. Let's not pretend that doesn't exist. And you've got a higher cost of device to cater for too. Huge amounts of extra accessories to purchase, and charge continually. The fact that Book Creator Web can work on multiple platforms, any device in any location vs being locked to the one particular device. But you are buying them for the IT department in mind, if your strategy is correct. If you're going 1:1 those devices need to work for IT students too. All students should be coding up into KS3 and certainly those in KS4 and KS5 need access to coding platforms and offer them thousands of available apps, most for completely free, including tools like Inkscape, GIMP, Audacity, LMMS, OBS. Coding on real world platforms that people use day-to-day for older students. I want students getting into KS4 to be able to compile apps and use them on their devices. You can't use iOS for real world practical coding without jumping through hoops to do so. I note that you don't respond to the fact Windows app support is also coming to Chromebook, and Android apps are supposedly coming to Windows. Every tried coding an iOS app on iOS? You can't. You need Macs to do that. But that's the point. You're paying more for an iPad without a keyboard or a stylus as you can buy a Chromebook, or Windows device that support both. iPad has it's place in specialist areas perhaps, but there is nothing iPad offers that can't be offered on Windows or Chromebook other than increased costs, increased difficulty in regards to managing the devices. As much as some of you want to dismiss keyboards and pointing devices as unneeded, why do Apple offer the magic keyboard at a starting price of £299 RRP if they're outdated or outmoded? The answer is they aren't. Again, Windows and Chromebook are also excellent with accessibility these days. Don't go into any kind of acquistion thinking that your single platform of choice will offer everything, but to suggest iPad is better at being a Chromebook than a Chromebook is, or even a Windows device is, is laughable.

Facts: Bluetooth. Required to be connected 1:1 to a device. Hard to actually get hold of. Lead development platform? Not iOS 120 words per minute on a virtual keyboard.... Sure. *sigh*

I choose to read this as Cuth Pu... Ahhh you get it I'm sure.

SPOILERS! When it came out back in the day, I had a school friend go ape at me for spoiling the ending...

The elephant in the room, if you will.

It's K-12 that are enabled by default, and HE that aren't. So UK high schools should have them enabled by default (unless they've changed something I'm not aware of)

Microsoft Office 365 Desktop apps are the 2019 version aren't they? Just automatically kept up to date? I don't use it, so please someone tell me if I'm wrong? But still, Capita SIMS holding up progress? I am shooketh!

I couldn't fundamentally disagree more with this article. That is a huge pile of bum gravy that's full of opinions rather than taking the actual facts at hand. Chromebooks have equal or better battery life. They come in more form factors to suit the occasion as appropriate. Tablet, 360 degree hinges. Touch screens or not. They have actual keyboards and proper mouse support (not some bodged accessibility option that needs to be configured, and a giant circular pointer), which despite some suggestions, are still crucial skills children need to have now, and in the next 10 to 20 years. Sometimes they keyboards are detchable too! You can get devices that support pens that don't require charging and/or pairing one pen to one to their devices and cost between half and a third as much. iPads are far, far less durable, have a much higher repair cost, have far less longevity (8 years of support with a Chromebook compared to 4-5 if you're lucky on an iPad) and they cost significantly more for a comparable device with comparable features. They have more apps, sure, but quantity is not quantity. More and more EdTech software development is moving to web based tools on Chromebook first and foremost too as there are more Chromebooks in the US EDU space now than iPad or Windows combined. For example. Book Creator. Once only available on iPad shifted their entire market and now web based and Chrome first with the iPad app catching up behind. Chromebooks run Android apps, web based apps, Linux apps, and support for Windows applications is in the works in partnership with Parallels. And let's not forget how you charge your £89 Apple Pencil on the Education focused iPads, as they only support 1st Gen Apple Pencils.

That it's a novel virus, or that it's mutating rapidly? Novel virus: https://www.euro.who.int/en/health-topics/health-emergencies/coronavirus-covid-19/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov Mutating: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02544-6

The beauty of Chromebooks is that once they're setup, the general settings only really need to be altered if there are new settings available. It's very hard to break them or have an issue that requires the equivalent of gpupdate /force Hope it all goes well for you

The article doesn't conflate the two, so I'd suggest its your reading comprehension.

With any suggestion from SLT, for whatever platform they suggest. The simple question is Why? Why do they think iPad over anything else? What kind of iPad? What tools? What features? Keyboards too? Apple pencils? Gen 1 or Gen 2? Lots of questions to be asked, before making a presumption of device on their behalf. I would suggest that the answers you get back for iPad might be "Look, shiny shiny aluminium..." before any practical reason.

Look at cloud solutions like Securly and Lightspeed. As everything moves to the cloud, the idea that your filtering should continue to stay on-site seems to be a fool's errand.

Except when all those "old people" fill the hospitals because it's so prevalent, it then becomes an issue for people with long-term chronic health issues and cancer sufferers who have their treatments delayed because of it. It's an issue for anyone with an underlying health issue that could be complicated or killed by it, like Crohn's Disease, Diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure. It's an issue for people who get Covid and are now dealing with long-term lung damage and "Long Covid" which is transforming their lives. To suggest it's an "old persons" issue is blinkered at best. As someone who works in schools, you clearly know that they don't run themselves and children don't go there without interacting with staff who, if not directly affected by these things themselves, are highly likely to have an immediate relative who is. Many of the children will have relatives who suffer with issues like this too. Reports are still mixed, but it seems that whilst children don't suffer from the disease directly, they're just as likely at secondary level at least, to transmit it as well as adults do. It's a novel virus that we still know relatively little about, that is mutating rapdily, and is seemingly becoming more infectious but less potent and yet has still infected 600,000 known people so far and killed 42,000. Which is 7% of the known number of infected. If that is an accurate reflection of the rate of death for this thing (I doubt it, I would suggest it's likely to have infected 10 times that amount by now) we'd be headed for 4 million dead once all is said and done. Even if it's 10 times that amount infected, it'd still be 400,000 dead from it. The flu kills around 10,000 a year. We were asked to put our lives on hold for 3 months or so over the summer to buy the Government time to get preparation in place for the winter, where we know the NHS is stretched as is. They didn't do it.

Yes. You don't want it to move OUs. I would only use this for loan devices for users across multi-site settings, where they can work at multiple sites but do the same work at both.
