I det andra avsnittet för terminen är det Johan och Hans som möts i etern. Inledningsvis pratar de undanflykternas tid, nyårslöften, Gimkit, Threads, gadgets och floskler. Huvudfokus denna vecka ligger dock på klassrummet och ett gäng frågor kopplade till arbete i och omkring klassrummet. Är snabbt alltid bra? Vilka förmågor håller på att försvinna? Används kompensatoriska hjälpmedel? Vad är bionic reading? Är de digitala nationella proven på väg bort? Som vanligt utlovas inga svar även om det även denna vecka blir ett samtal om skola, digitalisering och lite annat.
