@clcsimon Show it is more than only making video games. Creative projects, linked to pupils’ interests, appear extremely engaging, although they often need a high level of teacher confidence, esp when involving physical devices #caschat This was our most recent Crumble session. pic.twitter.com/XrQhy5yaUb

@clcsimon My sessions tend to be best attended when immediately after school drop off, especially when combined with free tea / coffee and child care for young siblings AKA Paw Patrol on an IWB in an adjacent room 🤪 #caschat

@clcsimon I’m also much better at switching off at weekends. If I do need to work at weekends, it is only for a specific project / task, rather than catching up with emails, admin tasks, etc #caschat

@clcsimon Other bits that generally seem to work are blocking times out in your calendar for certain tasks. For example, I know I need to give feedback on some assignment submission within two weeks, so I stick that time in the diary and get it all done in one go #caschat

@clcsimon Really tricky especially if you have some self employed work, which it is hard to take a holiday from. I’ve learnt to switch off certain inboxes from my phone depending on the time of week, year, etc. #caschat

@martincaddy Agree with this. It can also be anonymous, plus appear on lots of different devices. Horrible 😞 #caschat

Bonjour #caschat Neil from sunny Aylesbury here. Tree goes up when I’m instructed to venture into the loft to get the decorations down.... Our street goes all out with the outdoors stuff, so will look forward to the large leccy bill after the festive frolics 🎄
