DfE & Ofsted have updated guidance on AI in education
DfE: Training modules on safe/effective AI use & policy stressing professional judgement, safeguarding, data & IP.
Ofsted: Won’t inspect AI tools, but will look schools use impact on learners.
Early adopters: The biggest risk is doing nothing.
Great to be at the Festival of Computing today in Bromsgrove School #Computing #FestivalOfComputing25

Check out the CrowPI. Looks really good for teaching physical computing #TeamCompSci #CSed #STEM #STEAM #CompSci #Edtech
The TPEA conference is coming up soon! Unfortunately I can’t make this year, but it should be a great couple of days. #Edtech #Education #Conference #Computing #CSEd #Research

My son's homework last week was to create a Andy Warhol picture of some homeware. He created this on Apple Keynote with the iPad and the Apple Pencil. #ApplePencil #DigitalArt
Just arrived today! In my Kindle App
One Pagers Volume 2 to with my Volume 1
These are so useful for out #ITE #PGCE students for their professional studies sessions.
Fantastic work by Jamie once again! Thanks 🙌 @xpateducator.bsky.social
Super pleased to see that one of our BA Primary Teacher Education Trainnee Students has choosen to do their assignment poster for my module on foundation subjects about #Computing based on my seminars with them. #ITE #ITT #Primary #Education #DigitalLitracy
Thanks so much for visiting, and teaching us Crumble!
Had a great day with @milesberry.net running a physical #computing workshop with his cohort of #PGCE computing students @uni-roehampton.bsky.social #TeamCompSci #ITE #ITT
In Action. Very proud of this series… Congratulations to @neilgilbride.bsky.social - welcome to the gang! @johncattedu.bsky.social
⚠️ 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.

Great to have the latest edition of HelloWorld magazine @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social the Teacher Symposium on Teaching AI was a fantastic day! Thanks again @janewaite.bsky.social for bringing us all together. #teamcompsci #HelloWorld #EduSky #AIEdu #Computing
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.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE!
Rebecca Franks and I talk about Flip Computing, Quality First Teaching and Flock XR, Flip Computing's new, free, 3D creation tool that bridges the gap between Scratch and Blender. Also I wait while you donate to keep the podcast alive. bit.ly/4cettjo

Very interesting stuff here #teamcompsci
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.
#TeamCompSci
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
