Great computing introduction session today with BA Primary Teacher Education 1st year's. Massive thanks to @mr-comp-sci.bsky.social for running a session on @oaknational.bsky.social #Aila AI lesson planning tool!

+1 for LMC. Better when you can picture how these parts interact.
Things you hear on the train... "WiFi's great isn't it? But where's all that information stored on the Internet?"
I have my laptop with me and am wondering if he'd mind me using some new @oaknational.bsky.social resources to tell him?

Those who live and breathe curriculum and assessment by teaching every day have a deep and unique understanding of what’s going well and what needs to improve.
If that’s you, please do share your precious insights through the call for evidence.

Agree. Shorthand assumes understanding such as count = count + 1 rather than count += 1. Better to spell out what is meant.
I have a whole new series of #HTTCS the #podcast coming soon, with guests including @beccip.bsky.social, Pete Dring,, @advanced-ict.info, @msbclarke.bsky.social and more.
Check out the first ten episodes here:

Makes sense to go where the teachers are.
Great thanks.
Engaging in terms of varied visual feedback. Engaging in terms of removing syntax errors that hold back early progress of the easily put off. Another tool in a long journey of many parts of which each has a place and we shouldn't be wedded to one.
Still useful, and engaging, in today's classrooms.
What resonated with me in Mindstorms was highlighting that if Descartes used coordinates by watching a fly on the ceiling, then a child might understand the same concept programming a turtle. Extend this to Scratch's position on a screen and you have a way of making the abstract more concrete.
Absolutely. Not very secure though.
Our Teacher CS vacancy at @NorthLivAcademy closes at midnight this Sunday. The job info document isn't big enough to be able to talk about how supported and amazing our team is. If you have any queries about the school or post, please DM me. #TeamCompSci Please share www.tes.com/jobs/vacancy...
Could he break out the micro:bits next week?
This might be something we will look at in the new @oaknational.bsky.social computing curriculum. So much potential!
We don't do enough of the concrete in computing, or maybe just starting from a frame of reference that pupils can visualise and/or relate to.
These look fab - thank you!
Digital skills. So many different interpretations. What does #TeamCompSci consider them to be?
Love this. Anything that makes programming more real world really helps to engage a wider audience. #TeamCompSci
Join Alex Parry from @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social and I to explore the use of LLMs for evaluating free-text responses to questions. Can an LLM be effectively deployed to achieve the level of assessment provided by an experienced teacher? www.computingatschool.org.uk/events/2024/... #AI #TeamCompSci
We have a vacancy for a Computer Science teacher in Liverpool, located very close to the city centre. Please see this link or NSTCareers on X for more info. Happy to answer any Q's. Can #TeamCompSci colleagues please help spread the word - thanks!

Was so useful, thank you. We (computing) started unpicking subject vocab at the end. It gets awkward when technical terminology is just plainly offensive. www.wired.com/story/tech-c...
