They are mature and ambitious enough to make use of the teacher’s knowledge to further their own ambitions.
But even at Sixth Form it cannot work with kids who need teacher to do what teachers normally do! 2/10
Why does online learning not work, the younger the child is, & less supported at home?
Teacher cannot
1. Check for understanding
2. Hold child to account.
Parent has to get child to focus, check the learning & do what the teacher normally does in the classroom 1/10 THREAD 👇🏼

They don’t just lecture! Not if they are good teachers.
They constantly pepper questions to check for understanding.
They test knowledge retention to judge whether something needs reteaching.
This cannot be done on Zoom. 3/10
Kids have answers in front of them. So teacher can’t test.
With a challenging intake, audio from kids undermines teacher’s authority and allows one child to derail entire lesson.
Kids turn off video and then disappear- not hearing a word! 4/10
1. We mistakenly think kids are like adults and can lead their own learning & behaviour. They can’t.
2. We imagine parents are able to support at home. Many cannot, won’t, do not know how
3. We want to believe there is a solution. 5/10
1. They aren’t teachers.
2. They want to feel they have done something.
3. Andrew Adonis campaigned for Zoom lessons
4. They don’t have the experience of using zoom and then when you see the kids next, realise they have learned little 6/10
1. Not if Zoom is being used. If Google Classroom, yes they can access the work set.
2. BUT, laptops also give access to Instagram/Snapchat
3. Kids spend 15+ hours on SM a day
4. Internet use needs supervision! 7/10
1. Government say bad teachers/schools if you don’t use Zoom
2. Schools pretend to use it or stay quiet about not using it
3. We all want to believe there is a solution
4. Tech is a red herring in pursuit of learning 8/10

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇
It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details): https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha
I've read it so you needn't!
Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.
The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.
Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
