Logicly - A logic circuit simulator for Windows and macOS - logic gates, flip-flops, computer architecture, electronics, integrated circuits

You know when those forgotten tools crop up, it’s Sunday and I’m sadly enjoying creating resources using logic.ly - teaching GCSE logic gate this week and A Level D-type flip flops after half term πŸ€—

Have a great week #TeamCompSci!!

Yeah there are cases of never use AI - the point isn’t the code in this case, though some demo of code and case use is a great side effect. Just something to illustrate another tricky topic. I was impressed at speed of creating this simple algorithm!

Hi πŸ‘‹ - using copilot to create quickly coded solutions to break up the theory laden content of a level lessons with some mini tasks, here’s my little legal scenario created in minutes… students will use to debate but will also critique and extend the code trinket.io/python3/2738... #TeamCompSci

You can mute – but you can never leave. Why have WhatsApp groups become so stressful? | Polly Hudson There is the initial group. Then the side group. Then another splinter group. Suddenly, in your bones, you know the wrong message is going to end up with the wrong person, writes Polly Hudson

WhatsApp groups πŸ“– - opinion piece in Guardian this morning reminding us of the stress that some people find themselves needing to understand developing social etiquette. To mute or to leave!? If all in the group are admins, it is not possible to leave silently!!

β€˜I want to be a Lioness’: research shows more girls than ever engaging with football * Charity finds 36% of girls now attached to a football club * England’s Euros run has inspired youngsters, say coaches While defending their title is the big aim for the Lionesses this summer, their run to the Euro 2025 final in Switzerland has already delivered a broader success – another huge uplift in visibility for the women’s game, at elite and grassroots level. The continued progress of Sarina Wiegman’s side, who won the tournament in 2022 and reached the World Cup final a year later, has led to another increase in engagement on a range of measures.

Today we went to the local wildlife reserve and hunted fairies. My daughter caught them, my husband put them in a jar with cotton wool. Yes it wasn’t real but in my daughter’s imagination, they were there and it was one of the nicest afternoons we’ve had in a while πŸ€— #familytime #gratitude

Thank you! It was certainly a journey! I’m going to use the research to help promote the value of understanding the impact of AI on students’ psychology. I’m deeply interested in understanding cyberpsychology in education more than ever! It’s fascinating and very relevant to pedagogy.

however a backward method regression analysis produced 4 significant models. If I had produced data first the thrill of this reveal would’ve been lost!! My dissertation has just received a distinction 😁

I just can’t wait to release my dissertation findings, the study was underpowered and so inferences are cautionary, one of my hypotheses was supported, the other not so…

Absolutely it’s incredible that women’s sports are seen in the same light as men’s. The audiences are testament, in my opinion. Last night covered the full spectrum, scrappy and physical, skilled and crafted, lucky for us Serena played her cards. Equality in football is here to stay!! πŸ‘

Teachers Should Focus On the Impact, Not the Approach, Education Scholar Says β€œI don't care how you teach,” Hattie said in May at the 37th APS Annual Convention in Washington, DC. β€œI care about the impact of your teaching.”

β€œI don’t care how you teach. I care about the impact of your teaching.” β€”John Hattie at #APS2025

At the APS–David Myers Distinguished Lecture, Hattie challenged educators to shift focus from delivery methods to how students actually learn. #Teaching #Learning

It’s something that was on Scam Interceptors, so is a central report, I’m assuming mass data produces statistics which point to groupings of numbers used for spam calls useful for intercepting and closing down these callers.

Had the most wonderful day in Glastonbury today for the solstice, there were two reasons, the end of my MSc is bitter sweet, the end of the academic year on the horizon has been a time for renewal, the closure of chapters which have redefined me and my sense of self. Happy Solstice, 2025! πŸ™πŸŒ…
