The number of times drivers have had next to no penalty for speeding under yellows - way too harsh. Last 10 seconds stop/go I can remember is Vettel driving into Hamilton under the safety car.

Risc OS in an Acorn lab at school! We had a highly choreographed way of turning them on so the network and printer would work at the same time

My method of assessing new productivity tools:
1. Does it do what I want?
2. Can I play with it for long enough to put off doing the work related thing I need to do?
Unrelated to this... Does anyone know of a good seating plan tool? #edtech #EduSky

Earlier this year I was lucky to receive lots of Lego coding equipment from the institute of physics as part of a grant scheme. Once I can get the software working on Chromebooks, it could be a great bridge between Beebots and Crumbles!

I'm just going to share a little bit of love for @diffitapp.bsky.social . In the sea of AI, it saves so much time planning the little fiddly bits of reading lessons meaning I can focus more on the deeper stuff

I've only used it with the primary phase but it's worked well; I don't know how well it might cope with the added complexity you see at high-school level. In terms of accessibility for different ages, the only limit is the teacher's ability to adapt the prompts to give responses of a certain level

An illustration for CreateAI.
Shows a pair of hands with data waves in the background to represent with motion data, and a micro:bit and MakeCode blocks to represent the AI/ML model running on the micro:bit with a MakeCode programme.
It includes the text: micro:bit Create AI, try our new machine learning tool

Mizou has been fantastic for engaging children in a topic, giving them the chance to ask questions and develop their own threads of interest

Thankyou for this! Can I be added?

I never expected Timmy Mallet to be as much of an inspiration to me at 36 as he was when I was 5, but his cycling videos are one of the very few things keeping me on Facebook

Book people... I'm looking for computing themed books that could be used within whole class reading sessions in KS1 and KS2. I've got the little people big lives ones but any other ideas would be gratefully received!
