Colonial slavery shaped modern Britain and we all still live with its legacies. The slave-owners were one very important means by which the fruits of slavery were transmitted to metropolitan Britain. We believe that research and analysis of this group are key to understanding the extent and the limits of slavery's role in shaping British history and leaving lasting legacies that reach into the present.

Pobble 365 is aimed at Primary students but it could be useful for our less able or our EAL students

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you're one of our 100,000 (plus) teachers who use Pobble 365 every month, then no doubt I'm preaching to the converted. If you haven't already heard of it, get ready to ask yourself how you ever managed without it!

Hook the pupils

As teachers, we're always looking for interesting ways to hook children into writing. We don't always need to transform the classroom into a crime scene or viking village or spend a fortune to invite special visitors in. We need something engaging at our fingertips on a regular basis. After all, 'writing' is on the daily agenda!

Cover all bases

Enter Pobble 365. Whether you're teaching a grammar or punctuation activity, generating adventurous vocabulary, wanting to deepen children's thinking through a great discussion or creating a piece of writing. Pobble 365 will support you every day of the year.

It begins with a weird, wonderful and/or thought provoking image to inspire you and your pupils. There are 365 images to choose from (hence the title of the website), leaving no chance for boredom! The images capture everything from alternative viewpoints of fairy tales, interesting set ups with superheroes, to animals losing their habitats in rainforests and mythical creatures causing madness and mayhem, as well as many many more! The writing opportunities are endless!

If the image itself doesn't spark a thousand ideas, simply scroll down to use the ready-made activities provided. Use them as they are or as a starting point for something even bigger.

The activities include questions to prompt discussion and 'sick' sentences to improve - a quick, simple and fun way to cover that grammar, punctuation or spelling objective. There's also a sentence challenge to take on either as new learning or a bit of revision. To finish, there's a story starter to inspire children to create either a short or an extended piece of writing.

Real writing

Many of the images also link to examples of real children's writing. The work has been written by children from all over the world and published on Pobble.com. Speaking from experience, when children are exposed to other children's writing, it automatically encourages them to see themselves as writers. Using these as examples, children will be inspired and usually want to take some of the ideas for their own writing.

As well as this, it provides opportunities to learn from others' mistakes. We all spend hours providing examples of our own with deliberate mistakes for children to edit and improve, yet having a real example to use is an invaluable tool to support this type of learning. With thousands of pieces of writing on the website, all searchable by age, genre, objective, topic and book title, it really makes teaching writing easier. As a Pobble subscriber, you also have access to a bank of the best pieces from each year group to use in your lessons to support any aspect of the writing process.

Put simply, Pobble 365 is a must have in every classroom; I would not want to manage without it. Give it a try!

You can discover 9 other inventive ways to use Pobble 365 in your classroom, recommended by fellow teachers here.

Pobble - so much more than Pobble 365

If you want to do more, you can in the Pobble lesson builder. This allows you to edit activities, add new slides, present the lessons to your class or share a link with colleagues or children at home.

Looking for activities on a specific topic? Pobble also has a lesson search feature where you can find all Pobble 365 presentations, searchable by genre and theme. You're also able to search high quality, ready-made, age-specific lessons.

Straight-forward article about coronavirus plus access to all that NatGeo Kids has to offer

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you've been watching the news lately, chances are you'll have heard lots about an illness that's affecting people around the world, called coronavirus.
It's natural to feel worried about stuff you read in the news. If you're feeling anxious about coronavirus, talk to a trusted grown-up, like a parent, guardian or teacher about how you're feeling. You can also find online support on the Open Minds website.

What is coronavirus?

How did the coronavirus outbreak start?

It's not completely clear how the outbreak started, but it's thought it's likely to have begun in Wuhan, China at a local meat market known to sell wild animal meat.

We still don't know for sure which animal sparked the outbreak, but it's thought that the new virus could have originated in bats. Bats weren't sold at the market, but they may have come into contact with the animals that were.

How is coronavirus spread?

Because we haven't encountered this virus before, scientists have had to work hard to discover exactly how it spreads. Similar viruses, like colds and flu, spread through water droplets in coughs and sneezes. These droplets can live on surfaces and spread when someone touches them with their hands. People become infected when they then touch their hands to their mouth, nose or eyes.

Coronavirus is mostly spread through the air, when people are in close contact with each other. This is why it's very important that we socially distance from other people, and wear a mask. Wearing a mask over your mouth and nose helps to stop your water droplets from reaching other people. If we all wear masks, we all keep our droplets to ourselves!

Being in places with lots of fresh air also helps stop these droplets from reaching other people, which is why we don't have to wear our masks outside. Some places you go to, like your school, might open windows and doors to help with this, too.

What are the symptoms of coronavirus?

For the most people, including kids, this coronavirus isn't dangerous. It will make them feel poorly for a short time, before they make a full recovery. For a few people, like the elderly and people who have long-term health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or asthma, the risk of becoming very ill is more serious. That's why these people are making extra efforts to have less face-to-face contact with others at the moment.

That means you might have to change the way you keep in touch with grandparents, friends or family who are vulnerable, for the time-being. For example, how about video calling your grandparents, or sending them a letter? It's good to keep in touch, but in a way that keeps you and others safe.

Coronavirus symptoms include:

- a high temperature

- a new, continuous cough

- a loss or change to your sense of smell and taste

If you feel poorly, tell a trusted adult like a parent, guardian or teacher.

What can I do?

There are plenty of small, easy things you can do. You probably do some of them already, but at this time, we all just need to be extra sensible and cautious as we go about our daily lives and activities:

- Wash your hands more regularly, for at least 20 seconds - that's about as long as it takes to sing Happy Birthday twice! Dry them with a paper towel and then chuck it in the bin!

- If you can't wash your hands with soap and water, then use hand-sanitiser.

- Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose and mouth.

- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Bin the tissue and wash your hands afterwards.

- Avoid contact with people who feel unwell, or if you feel poorly, let a trusted adult know.

What are people doing about coronavirus?

Scientists have created a vaccine for COVID-19, in record time! Vaccines give people protection from the virus. In the UK, they're being given to the most vulnerable people, like grandparents and hospital staff, first, because they are at the highest risk of catching coronavirus. Some people have already received the vaccine, which is brilliant news!

In the meantime, there are lots of changes being made to help slow the spread of coronavirus. Some of them might feel a bit scary or unusual, but rest assured, they're being made to keep you and others safe:

- Everyone is now ' social distancing' from most other people. This basically means keeping your distance from others, avoiding social gatherings like meeting with friends, going to sporting events or gigs. This is to help prevent the virus from passing from person to person.

- Your parents may be asked to work from home. This might mean your family routine changes while they spend more time than usual at home.

- Cafés, restaurants, events and other public places may be closed.

These changes won't be around forever, but they are important steps towards slowing the spread of coronavirus.

Should I be worried?

You might feel worried about coronavirus, about how it might affect you, your family and friends, and the changes that we are making to our daily lives at this time. The important thing to remember is that we are all in this together. Talk to your friends and family about your worries and work out how you will support each other during the coming weeks, ensuring you all stay happy and healthy.

Things you can do:

- Have a break from talking or thinking about coronavirus. Keep yourself busy and don't overcheck the news.

- Don't believe everything that your friends tell you about coronavirus. Check the facts with a parent or trusted adult.

You can access free online school resources in our Primary Resources section! We cover all of your favourite subjects like Ancient Egypt, rainforests, dinosaurs and space!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
For example, someone comments about a classmate who is Vietnamese American: "You don't want them on your track team, they'd be better in the science club."

If you are calling that person in, you can ask them to have lunch with you. You can tell them that they are perpetuating the "myth of the model minority" and that not all people who have Asian ancestry are math and science geniuses. You can explain that their comment over-generalized a large population of the world and lumps all folx from Asian countries into one big monolith of a people who are all the same. This is simply not true. Using the term Asian to describe all folx from Asian countries and ancestry does not acknowledge the vast and varied histories, cultures, and experiences of everyone.

To call someone in, you can also email or message them and explain why and how what they said is hurtful. You can send them articles and videos that explain how they perpetuated the stereotype that Asian folx are only good at math and science. And you can call them on the phone and let them know you heard what they said, that it bothered you because they were sharing misinformation and using a stereotype to set your Asian classmate apart from others.

Calling someone in can be a pretty effective way of working with someone to change their problematic behavior. They're more likely to hear what you are saying if it feels like a more gentle approach. It does require you to be compassionate and invest some of your time and energy.

If you choose to call that person out, other folx would be around and witnessing this interaction. You would probably say the things we just mentioned within earshot of other people.

Calling someone out can also be effective. It does require you to take a risk. You will be bringing attention to someone's oppressive and detrimental behavior. It allows for others to hear you and creates greater accountability as there's more than one person involved.

We will all have moments when we are the folx on the receiving end of a call-in or call-out. If you are the person who has just been called out, instead of bristling in defense, or getting upset, think about what the other person has just said. Hear
them. Thank them for their comment and acknowledge you listened. Use that as a moment to teach yourself, open up dialogue, and dig deeper. This is how we all learn and move forward. As American poet, singer, and activist Maya Angelou said, "When you know better, do better."

Whether you choose to call someone in or call them out, know that it will feel messy and that it will be. You will question yourself, wondering if you should have done it or not. You will make mistakes from time to time-we all do. Every action you take gives you the chance to learn and grow. You've got this!

Before you call in or call out, grab your notebook and ask yourself the following questions. These might help you to decide how to go forth.

-Who has the power in this situation? The person I'm calling in/out, or me? (If you have the power in this situation, consider calling them in.)
-Am I calling out a person or systemic behavior? (If you're calling out systemic behavior or an institution, call them out.)
- How much energy and emotional labor am I able to share right now? (If you don't have the energy or aren't willing to put in the emotional labor it takes to educate someone and work with them to change, consider calling them in with someone who can take on the work you are not able to do. I have a friend who helps me out when I don't have the capacity to educate white people on racial oppression.)
- Is this person likely to change their problematic behavior? (If they are not, call them out. If this is someone you've called in before and they're still repeating their actions, call them out.)
- Who is in the room? Who am I accountable to in this moment? Am I centering the needs of myself or the group? What will happen if I call this behavior out? What will happen if I call this person in?
-What am I hoping to accomplish with this call-in or call-out?

12 Tips For Students To Manage Their Digital Footprints
contributed by Justin Boyle

If you've scratched your head over suggestions to manage your 'digital footprint,' you aren't the only one.

A surprisingly large percentage of people have never even heard the phrase, let alone thought about how to manage theirs responsibly. Among students, the percentage is probably higher. We'll talk about ways you can help students understand and manage their digital footprints before they get themselves in trouble.
The Definition Of A Digital Footprint
Simply put, a digital footprint is the record or trail left by the things you do online. Your social media activity, the info on your personal website, your browsing history, your online subscriptions, any photo galleries and videos you've uploaded - essentially, anything on the Internet with your name on it. Digital natives like today's students rarely think twice about putting their names on things online, so their footprints can be pretty wide.

Luckily for us all, most of the major sources of personal information can be tweaked so we share only certain things with the general public. There are even some third-party bonus tools available to manage the parts of our digital footprints we might not know were there.

For students having grown up in a social/digital environment, helping them see where and how they're vulnerable may be the most critical step. If they're not suitably motivated, very little of what you say will be compelling.

But after a little Google searching and social media dots connecting, just seeing the breadth of info about us that exists online is enough to spur them to action.
What To Tell Your Students About Monitoring Their Digital Footprints: 11 Tips 1. Be kind, helpful, and understanding
Or put another way, demonstrate digital citizenship.

This may not seem like a way to practically 'manage your digital footprint,' but part of managing your digital footprint isn't just about privacy and anonymity. In large part, one of the most effective ways to 'manage' your footprints is to make sure that the prints you do leave are good ones.
2. Use privacy settings
Let's talk Facebook, shall we? Chances are pretty good that your students can be counted among the 1.3 billion monthly active users of the social media giant, and there's practically no other website that contains such a breadth and depth of personal information.

Encouraging students to put all of their social media accounts, including Facebook, on a short leash might be the most important step toward helping them manage their digital footprint. Look into Facebook's proprietary privacy tips or get the works from Lifehacker.com with it's "Always Up-to-Date Guide to Managing Your Facebook Privacy," then inform students about the steps they can take. Better yet, just pass the links along.

Complete privacy on Twitter is simple - you just choose to protect your tweets under 'security and privacy' on the account settings page - but encouraging students to do so might do more harm than good. Some teachers have gotten great results using Twitter in education, and a class full of students with protected tweets might interfere with that.
3. Keep a list of accounts
Then delete the ones you no longer use. That myspace page you signed up for? Don't just forget about it-find it and delete it.

One tip: Use Pocket (and add the Pocket button to your browser-for Google Chrome, for example). Every time you sign up for an account, add that site to your 'Pocket' account and tag it 'Account.' Then, every six months, go in and deactivate/remove dormant accounts you no longer need or use.
4. Don't overshare
Perhaps the best tip for helping students maintain privacy on twitter is one that can be applied across the whole spectrum of social networking tools: Don't overshare.

As much of an alien concept as it may be to students these days, the only sure-fire way to avoid digital footprint trouble is for them to keep quiet about anything they wouldn't want the world to know. This includes usernames, aliases, passwords, last names, full-names-as-usernames, pictures, addresses, and other important information but also their moods and boyfriends and girlfriends and
5. Use a password keeper
This is more of a security thing, but the worst kind of footprint is the one you didn't make that contains all of your sensitive information. It's too much work to remember 50 different passwords, and every site has their own unique rules.

Until someone solves this problem, the best solution is likely a password keeper
6. Google yourself
You may be surprised what you find.
7. Monitor linking accounts
When you link your facebook or twitter account to that new site (whatever site that might be), you may not realize-or care at the moment-what you're giving it access to. It's usually safest to use a secondary email address to sign-up for new sites rather than granting this kind of access.
8. Consider using an anonymous secondary email
Whether you're communicating with someone new or signing up for a new social media platform, it can be useful to have a secondary email address.
9. At least skim the terms and conditions
Few people read every word of every Terms & Conditions page-and even if you did, you may not understand them all and how they can and might impact you. But to not even have the slightest idea what you're agreeing to when you do 'accept' those terms and conditions only has the potential to harm any legacy of your use of a site, platform, or page (i.e., your digital footprints).
10. Know that sending is like publishing-forever
Every time you send a message, post, or picture, you're publishing it the same way CNN does a news story. And the internet never forgets.
11. Understand that searches are social
There's another side to your digital footprint, too - it's not always information that you choose to make public. Remember, with or without privacy controls, Facebook still records and uses every scrap of information it gets to better determine its users' marketing demographics.

Google pulls the same trick with search and browsing habits. If a student is logged into their Google account, the service tracks every keyword they search, every web page they visit, and every time they visit Youtube.

There are ways, however, to control the bits of deep data that we leave strewn around. First of all, even though Google is practically an official synonym for "web search," it isn't actually the only game in town. Less profit-motivated search engines like DuckDuckGo.com and bing may take a little getting used to, but they can sometimes make clearer efforts to protect users' browsing privacy.
12. Use digital tools to manage your digital footprint
A host of browser extensions and app add-ons can also limit the surreptitious capture of personal information. VPNs, VPN protocols, and other browser tools and website opt-outs, to name a few. (You can read more about TeachThought's Privacy Policy here, for example.)
Conclusion
There are also some extreme measures. Browsing from behind a virtual private network, or VPN, puts a layer of thick fog between online activity and real-world identity. If even that isn't enough for your suddenly privacy-hungry students, there's also the nuclear option.

You may have heard of Tor, the multi-layered proxy client that's a go-to for anyone looking to access the fabled Deep Web. By routing your IP address through multiple proxies, Tor protects users from anyone anywhere ever knowing who they are or what they're looking at.

Of course, full online anonymity would also require students to avoid all login-based media (including app stores like Apple's App Store and Google Play), which can be a harder task than they're ready to accept. It may also be important to remind them that while we're not browsing in a vacuum and we're very rarely actually anonymous, most of our deep data is probably pretty benign.

Just make sure to let them know that everything that they post, tweet, comment or like is going down on their permanent record. Honestly, everything. That ought to get them thinking, at least.

Questioning Your Sexuality or Gender? - The Proud Trust

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Did you know that most teenagers question their sexuality during growing up? An increasing number of people are also questioning their gender too. This is both an exciting and quite stressful time in life. Everyone is on their own journey with this, and we all end up in slightly different places.

Digital Citizen or Digital Native?

"Mistakes have to happen, but patterns of mistakes are no longer mistakes, but habits."

While the basic tenets of digital citizenship attempt to protect kids from cyberbullying, misconduct, and harassment, Allen is also interested in teaching the positive behaviors that will make successful students and workers for the future: teaching students how to find and analyze reliable sources for research, how to verify whether information is biased and/or credible, and how to be a responsible user.

Teaching students how to code-switch between tech inside and outside of school -- like deciding whether to send that all-school Tweet -- is one of the most critical and valuable behaviors for tech-savvy students to learn, Levinson said.

"Outside of the school, the default is to share everything, whether it's a video or a song, even if the content is questionable," he said. "Inside of school, there is a time a place to engage and share and kids have a hard time figuring out the 'code,' which can vary inside each classroom and across different grade levels. So, kids are confused and have a hard time shifting to new codes of behavior, especially when technology is so ubiquitous after school hours."
NEED TO EXPERIMENT
Both educators acknowledge that, as with any behavior involving teenagers, mistakes will be made with online behavior -- and that's a vital part of the learning process. Levinson insists that parents should "lean into" the challenges brought by technology at home and school with patience, and says that keeping the conversation going between school and home will provide students with consistency as to what kind of behavior is expected.

Michael Allen has seen a couple of kids "crash and burn" trying to manage their use of tech at home and school -- one incident involved a girl who had sent 8,000 texts in one month's time. When it came to his attention, Allen recounts what he said to the student: "If you take all these texts - 8,000 - that's 30 seconds per text, 2.5 hours per day with a phone in front of your eyes. Think of what you are missing in the world, not to mention what it could mean for your learning experience." Allen said that when he broke it down to her in terms of what she was missing, the student had a realization, and has since been texting less.

Allen said that most parents come to understand that a computer is a neutral object -- it all depends on how students use it. A personal computer and smartphone are not to be taken lightly, and he said, "Mistakes have to happen, but patterns of mistakes are no longer mistakes, but habits."

Yet the better parents are able to understand technology's role in kids' lives, the easier it will be to find ways to use tech for learning without being fearful of it. "We need to keep our eyes on the prize," Levinson says, "we are using technology in schools because we believe it can enhance teaching and learning and add depth and complexity to the design of learning experiences for students."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There is a wide range of PC hardware and software as well as a number of handheld devices that are specifically designed to make life easier for people with dyslexia. These are all included within the heading of "Assistive Technology". Examples of the technology that are suitable for people of all ages are provided below.

Speech recognition software. This allows users to dictate or talk to a computer that uses software to convert this to text. This is clearly of interest to individuals that might otherwise have difficulty with spelling or writing emails, reports or other written communications.

Text-to-speech software. This allows individuals to understand written material they are presented with and to proof-read or check their own work.

Mind mapping software. This is specifically designed to allow dyslexics to plan their work more effectively.

Scanning software and hand reading pens. These allow the user to store and listen to the text found in books and other documents.

Spell checkers that are specifically designed with dyslexia in mind to automatically make corrections to written communications.

There are smartpens that can be used to write text, but which track the text being written and recreate the notes in digital form. The pen can then upload the text to a smart phone, PC or tablet to allow further processing or electronic distribution. A number of different models are available on the market, each with different strengths and weaknesses.

Tablets, Smartphones and Applications. There are a wide range of hardware platforms and software applications that can help individuals to manage their time and task list more effectively or work in conjunction with other hardware devices such as smartpens.

Computer based learning programs. These are specifically written for dyslexics and can help to sharpen their skills in reading, writing, touch-typing and numeracy.
