If you get one, just be sure to stroke its spine a few times before hugging.
Cuddle up with the Monster Book of Monsters for your Care of Magical Creatures class. Normally we wouldn’t recommend something like that, but this one is relatively tame, so you’re probably fine giving it a good hug or using it as a pillow.
A fidget spinner in space! How long does it spin? I’m not sure, but it’s a great way to experiment with Newton’s laws of motion!
Allowing the fidget spinner to float reduces the bearing friction by permitting the rate of the central ring and outer spinner to equalize, and the whole thing spins as a unit.
For some people the game isn’t finished until every single side quest is complete…
Facebook is paying to train British schoolchildren as “digital safety ambassadors.” They’ll help their peers deal with online bullying and similar issues.
The company has offered £1 million (approximately US $1.33 million) in total funding for the United Kingdom’s 4,500 schools. The recipients will be trained through two schemes already run by charities. One, The Diana Award, trains children as “anti-bullying ambassadors” while the other, Childnet International, offers a similar service but uses the term “digital leaders.”
In both cases, the training is based on research that suggests children experiencing online problems such as bullying are more likely to seek help from schoolmates than from parents or teachers. That’s partly because the children don’t want to worry adults and partly because they believe other children are more likely to have experienced similar problems.
The training is designed to help children help others in two ways: the technical specifics of how to report, filter and block unsuitable or concerning material and communications, and the psychological and social elements of speaking out and not allowing cyberbullying to go unchecked.
