  1. Format factory to convert them?
  2. I spent a whole week getting classrooms ready for our year 10s coming in, making sure all AV working, remotes with batteries. Emailed the staff involved to say all working etc. Did not get one email back of thanks or any face to face comments. I've worked in EDU IT support for over 10 years and only ever been in one school that were supportive of support staff. Just a shame I was only there part time. I'm over the need for being thanked for things now, its not going to change my work ethic, I will still put the same effort in and if I get thanked its a bonus. Schools are set up for teachers to take all the credit and revolve around them. The same with football teams, nobody ever thanks the team doctor or stadium announcer when the footballers win the league etc.
  3. I have a weeks holiday coming up. I was originally going to travel round the UK with my camera to photograph wildlife and generally explore. I've now decided to stay home and go for days out within government guidelines. I live in Kent and can travel into Sussex and Surrey quite easily. Any suggestions for things to do and places to photograph wildlife?
  4. Anyone else found the paper that says they need to be checked within 3 days of delivery otherwise it cant be exchanged! Just checked through 48 laptops!
  5. Fair enough. The three primary schools I used to work at all communicate with parents via email when I worked there and it was set up before I did.
  6. Nope as we educate the staff on that one! If there is two who start at the same time then its 16BloggsJohn and 16BloggsJoe. If Joe Bloggs starts mid year then his is 16BloggsJoe and John would be 16BloggsJ. All staff that teach a pupil are sent an email when the pupil starts mid year with what their username/email is.
  7. We use their username as name in address book so people cant get confused. So 16BloggsJ would be 16BloggsJ under the name. All students start with the year their cohort year started so different to staff who are surname.initial Seems to work. Just need to educate on Groups!!
  8. Our English department bought quite a few of these before lock down. They seem to work ok but need the actual HUE software to be installed to be able to view anything. There was a thread that some others had no issues using another piece of video software but all ours need the HUE software installed. I couldn't tell you the model as the rooms are locked and nobody is allowed in.
  9. Pretty sure ads are based on search history. Well thats what I get from buying/searching for stuff
  10. I keep thinking about getting Disney+, This will be the reason!
  11. My last primary school had a laptop 1:1 scheme back in the days of chunky laptops before cloud based apps too. It worked well but was also a pain. We only had docks in classrooms for teachers. All students had to charge laptops ready for next day, classrooms did have spare chargers for student laptops with and extension lead to charge any up at lunch etc. The scheme was stopped for students as it was a nightmare but secondary could be different. The docks the Teachers used were usb and all the AV plugged into the dock so they only had to plug one usb in.
  12. Ours wont work without the software linked above.
  13. Its free, top link on this link https://huehd.com/ufaqs/download-camera-drivers/
  14. Don't forget Nikon! But I think thats more of a Photographer based camera than vlogger.
  15. I dont think they have thought this through!
  16. For now or when all year groups return?
  17. Kent was just the same! 18 mile tailbacks on the A2!
  18. We put in a order for 44. Been told today we can only order 20! Not sure if thats 20 in a batch or the LA has deemed we can only have 20. Many emails have been fired off

    WWDC 2020

    Seeing lots of reviews suggesting that the changes to IOS are very much like Android or just catching up with the features already on Android. Ive not looked and doubt I will as im an Apple user.
  20. Maybe they have been hit elsewhere in the business so looking to sell?
  21. I went to Dungeness before lock down and saw the range they had which got me thinking and also I am planning on some trips I can hopefully go on later this year or next which they will be useful to have with me
  22. Hi All, I am looking at getting my first pair of the things. I will be using them in conjunction with wildlife photography. Anyone got any good recommendations? Thanks Bill
  23. Not putting a custom image on it?
