This is a solid discussion point for ethics in technology for both GCSE and A-Level at the moment

Felt upsetting to delete nearly 16 years of existence from X yesterday

But had to be done

I appreciate your reply and agree with you but in a classroom setting, across 20+ students on different devices I need something web based with easy sharing functionality

What IDE do people like for Level 1 and GCSE Computer Science?

Both Trinket and Raspberry Pi have their benefits but also have enough flaws to make me look elsewhere

How do I restore this to its mid / late 00s glory?

Got our eSports competition up and running today! I may nothing about overwatch, but I do understand why our students love eSports so much

I received an e-mail today from an AOL address using the AOL for Android App, clearly a time traveller!

The loss of the @wearecomputing.bsky.social hubs is really rubbish, I wish I could be more eloquent but they added value, and that’s important, and that’s not easy.

Wish I picked this up yesterday at the wonderful Barter Books in Alnwick 🤣

So Apple A.I is cool, but at the moment (a little like BlueSky) rather useless!

So much eSports coming up

Overwatch with @British_Esports
Splatoon with @DigSchoolhouse

As much as I enjoy up skilling myself in cyber, coding and coaching I’m certainly not upset I need to spend more time doing this :)

I have 12 packs of playing cards that are in no order at all, there must be a sorting algorithm lesson to deal with this mess to be made 🤣

We had the most amazing time immersed in Cyber Security at #empowerment today hosted by Sage, Cyber First and the Newcastle United Foundation

Try it, we read almost everything in portrait so it works for almost everything!

Exactly what we’ve done, pilot launching after Christmas alongside EPQ 🤞

Is there a better sentence in teaching than “you are getting a new screen next week”? #teamcompsci

Ok BlueSky let’s see your worth, what would go in a dream STEM based KS4 or KS5 course

A.I
Cyber

But what else?

Yes, there is an excellent computer science one I would love to go to but it’s end of September and apart from exam season it’s the busiest time of the year
