How do you make sure that the likes of Scratch and Physical Computing is worthwhile in laying foundations for textual programming? I often find learners remember ‘making a game’ or ‘making the robot move’ but don’t learn about sequencing, iteration, selection etc. #teamcompsci

Not posted on here really since the start of term… it’s been hectic! Thinking today about ensuring afterschool supported study is effective. What are others’ strategies? #teamcompsci#edusky

Do people use goodreads for professional reading? Is that a thing?

Very jealous seeing holiday snaps and stories from colleagues in England. Two productive inservices have concluded and the start of the term is looming. Got to happen at some point!

I'm reflecting on my use of Exam Questions in my teaching. Have always introduced these as early as possible to get learners used to the styles of exam questions. However, I have read suggestions that throwing them in early can have a detrimental effect. [1/2] #EduSky#TeamCompSci

Enjoying BlueSky. It feels like Twitter of a few years ago in a lot of ways, including being quite feature-light. Will things like threads, bookmarks, polls etc be supported natively in time or are they omitted by design?

I have a few questions for teachers that make use of tools like Quizizz for retrieval lesson starters: 1. How do you find it works with classroom management? 2. Do you integrate it with homework? 3. Do you go over any of the questions before transitioning to the lesson? #EduSky

Grim weather today. Heading in to school as I’m moving classroom this year. Haven’t even begun to think about what to do with the walls 🤣. Minimalist approach? #edusky

Trying out BlueSky along with Threads! I’m a Computing teacher in Scotland. I’m also beginning the process of dual registration in Maths. #edusky#uked
