THREAD: Some resources you can use to teach your kid from home or have her/him join classmates through the internet.

They are many but some of the commonly used ones are below #Covid19KE
Google Classroom is a free product where teachers and learners can collaborate online and get to share resources and other learning materials.

This is a step-by-step guide to gettting Google Classroom docs.google.com/presentation/d…
Microsoft (products.office.com/en-us/academic…) and Apple (apple.com/education/prod…) tried to answer to Google Classroom but they haven't been as successful

You can find G-Suite for Education which is a collection of Google Products for Education here edu.google.com/products/gsuit…
Can we start with online exercise classes? Seen Cosmic Yoga Classes? Some on Yutube but best if you go through Google.

BTW Google hasn't paid me for this promotion google.com/search?q=cosmi…

GoNoodle is free and helps them practice social skills gonoodle.com
Seen Mo Willems free online arts/drawing session? kennedy-center.org/education/mo-w…
Scholastic is another great platform you can check for learning. Very simple lessons kids can do on their own classroommagazines.scholastic.com/support/learna…
Another great platform is @EducationCity. It's paid and has some great resources but there are also some free ones on the same platform educationcity.com/us/
One great platform which is always paid is Epic but because of #Covid19, it has been made free until June 30th, 2020 getepic.com/learn/freeremo…

So I need to tel you about the Locust Spraying and how the govt officers are using the menace to loot the coffers.

It’s a very simple story with high risks since the looters are in the Agriculture and Interior ministries. #Thread
When the CS Kiunjuri reaches out to aviation operators (mostly wazungus with light aircrafts in Nanyuki) to help contain the menace, the operators agreed that the menace was of concern to them and they’d agree on a standard fee.
Operators agreed that a standard fee of Ksh 60,000 ($600) per hour per flight would be paid to each of the operators fighting the locusts.

Govt officers whose departments deal with the issue and the county officers (CECs and some governors) insisted that the fee was "too low."

Phones have connected but also disconnected us. People with thousands of friends online are lonely because we killed voice conversation.

We think that we have reached out and talked to someone just because we texted them.
We are avoiding “negativity” and “friction” in our lives by avoiding voice and face to face conversations.

But friction fans negativity helps develop us to be complete human beings. We are losing out humanity by sticking to text only.
In 2007, voice lost to text. In China alone, over 700 billion text messages were sent in China alone that year.

Be objective and fair. I was once arrested by an overzealous policeman and immediately booked into a cell. Everyone protested the move and even appealed. The cop made sure I stayed in the worst condition and got punished.

I was later taken to court and released on bail
Around 3 months after the ordeal, the same senior Chief Inspector of Police called me when he was being lynched by his bosses in North Eastern.

I highlighted and protested at his mistreatment until the said boss backed off and he gained his full authority at the workplace.
I met him recently at a function and he apologised and reminded me that he learnt a lot from the ordeal.

The "useless and noisy" blogger he was being told to punished rescued him and his family from what was a career-threatening challenge.

#Thread about brushing your teeth:

When I came back from the US in late 2018, one of my goals was to create awareness about oral health. I was very surprised to hear how many people don't know its essential to brush multiple times.

#oralhealth #preventivecare #brushyourteeth
So I created this poll and the results confirmed my fear. More than 50% said they brush ONCE a day! So here goes.

Teeth can get two main diseases: Caries/cavities and periodontal/gum disease. Both are multi factorial but start with two main factors: Diet and oral hygiene.
Genes play a role but let's not blame our parents and their parents for our faults.

Basically food left on teeth causes caries and under the gums causes periodontal issues. Plain and simple. Some foods are worse than others but oral hygiene is key. So lets start with brushing.

For those who want to learn Data Science as a goal for 2020 but don't know where to start from. I would share some key things you need to know and begin with. I hope you find them useful.
1. A programming language:
Yes, it is advisable to learn a programming language to journey into the field and core aspects of Data Science. The basic common ones are:
* Python
* R.
It is advisable to learn Python because the syntax are easy and it's a widely used language.
2. An IDE(Integrated development environment): An IDE is simply an application where you write your codes on. There are tons of IDE to use such as Jupyter Notebook, Pycharm, Google Colab etc, but for someone new, it's advisable you start with a Jupyter Notebook because it is ...

#Thread I was triggered to write this by a status I saw over the weekend which was figuratively calling people who aren't entrepreneurs fools.
You must have seen similar ones like it. The one where they will claim you're building somebody else's dreams if you work 8-4 or 9-5.
The earlier you people who peddle entrepreneurship realised that not everyone is cut out for the business world, the better it would be for everybody.
You think I'm not living the life I dreamt of just because I answer to a boss? *Just let people do what they love, man.*
How difficult is that for you to understand?

If you're truly an entrepreneur in Nigeria and you sell real goods and services, you can't paint entrepreneurship ( in Nigeria) as exciting, attractive and something only foolish people will not venture into.
