Gold and black trophy, with a cog like top section that can be removed and spun with the three interlocking pieces. Gold lettering on a black background is in the centre circle, which says 'Cyber First'. On the other side (unseen) it says 2025, but am likely to add the school name.

Only a couple of days left for the #CyberFirst challenge. The girls have smashed it this year, surpassing our best team last year, perhaps even getting double the score! Am considering printing these for their efforts. A trophy that is also a fidget spinner (top part is removable).

On my way to the London Autumn Pen Show 2025. Never been to something like this. I have a vague idea of a budget, but that doesn't sound promising!

Even though my twitter account has been private and unused for a while now, I've now deactivated it. Anything else I need to do to delete, or just not log back in for 30 days?

I'm surrounded by organisations and people pushing for greater use of AI, so I'm more than happy to follow someone with your stance, to appreciate different perspectives. I'm currently teaching Y8 about what AI is, where it is used, how machine learning works etc. - I need to be careful about bias.

I shall follow Sue then to make sure that I get a more balanced view than I might currently have.

It's certainly worth a read for the additional sources. I think the title of the blog post ("The ethical case for resisting AI") is better than the line that Sue has used ("Excellent blog on why educators need to resist AI"), as it's a better fit for thinking critically about the use of AI.

Very happy so far. I haven't completed any extended periods of writing with it yet, but it writes smoothly.

I also received this lovely handmade pen wrap, especially as more storage is needed! Very appropriate material sourced by my Mother. #FountainPens

Asvine P20 fountain pen, with golden medium nib.

New #FountainPen received at Christmas. An Asvine P20 (medium nib, piston filler), currently filled with Diamine Noel ink. After a hard start it's writing really well. I really like how the light reflects off the blue and green body.

Not yet, but I've requested that Minecraft is installed so that we can start making use of it in January.

Does anyone happen to know the range of points earned by teams in the #CyberFirst challenge? I've no idea how close or far away our girls were. One team managed almost 5000 points. #gchq #caschat

Some form of practical project. Perhaps in the style of HPQ/EPQ. This could enable students to harness their passion and deepen understanding of an area of interest. As for a topic area, maybe IoT.

Thanks - I looked at using PA to automate the synchronisation of forms data to the linked spreadsheet, but it wasn't possible. SharePoint lists would work if an exact match to an answer, but would need to see if it can handle marking of written responses (I don't how that would work).

I've been working on trying to utilise MS Forms and the new(ish) sync to excel workbook feature. The aim was to sync data to a master spreadsheet, but two main issues. 1, incredibly slow. 2, does not sync updated scores after marking questions in forms. Still looking for a better solution.

It was great to see the enjoyment and perseverance by the teams of girls taking on the CyberFirst challenge at lunch time / after school today! I've heard they have great plans working together during the inset day tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜€

Eagerly awaiting this #3Dprint to finish of a 'Gyroid pen holder'. The material is Matte Green PLA. I can see that there will be a little cleanup work needed, but I did opt for no supports!

Some pens I use more than others, so it was time for some general cleaning and maintenance, along with swapping some inks around. #FountainPens

Ouch!! I'm helping at summer school on Thursday and there will be at least 1 English teacher there (we do AQA), so I will ask.
