⚠️ POOR PROXIES FOR LEARNING! Just because students are busy, engaged, or writing doesn’t mean they’re learning. Learning happens when students have to think hard! In this issue, I explore proxies for learning highlighted by @profcoe.bsky.social and what to do instead.

Had a great chat today with @janewaite.bsky.social all about data-driven systems, data and information, and how we might teach this to our trainee teachers and ultimately children.

Curious changes to GCSE Computer Science from the DfE. #TeamCompSci
- if there are no topologies why do you still need to know about switches?
- doesn't discussion of magnetic/optical/solid-state get students to think about the the whole two-state representation thing, and why computers use binary?

Had a great day with our BA Y2 trainees—exploring digital literacy, then getting hands-on with Scratch, coding quiz games using selection (if, then, else). Lots of lightbulb moments 💡

Also… very happy that my Scratch coffee cup finally arrived! 🧡🐱☕ #ComputingEd #Scratch #ITT #TeamCompSci

It seems like Mark Gudzial's article has been sparking a lot of discussion about sense of belonging versus personal relevance in #CSed, but I still don't understand why one would need to replace the other.

btw, the app I'm building is a really simple writing game, meant to help teach how LLMs work. I'm sure you've played something like it before. I hope it'll get the teaching gears turning. Curious? DM and i'll share in return for feedback. 🤓🫶 #aiedu #csk8 #teamCompSci
