We have done two Computing lessons this term already without setting foot in our ICT Suite. Why? We have been discussing Internet Safety. I found a Tweet where a teacher had posted a picture of a rubber duck and asked for it to be retweeted. This was to show that once something has been put on line it can be passed around and you lose ownership of it. It was retweeted 88 times. I also said that people can then take the image and play with it. We decided to take a picture of my electric pencil sharpener: a penguin with a fake moustache stuck to its head giving it a menacing monobrow. I tweeted it (I'm @MrNeaves on Twitter) asking for RT (retweets) at 14:55 on Wednesday 17th September (2014 for those who are watching this on "Dave") and by 15:00 it had been retweeted once. We were pleased. By 15:35 it had been retweeted 4 times. It slowly crept up - almost 100 by Friday morning. Then it went a little crazy at the weekend. It's 18:38 on 21/09/14 and it has been retweeted more than 1200 times. And someone has been putting the penguin into photos. It's awesome. And still rising! Please retweet! https://twitter.com/mrneaves/status/512238476415500288 Today's question: could we get #MrNeavesPenguin to trend on Twitter too?
