Thank you for the amazing response to my book over the past couple of months. Due to the popularity, I’m pleased to say I have now made it available in a lot more places beyond Amazon by adding a new distributor/printer (Ingram). You can find a list of online retailers here: mrmorrison.co.uk/books/

That time of year again. Why not try a @microbit.org Easter Egg Hunt 🐣 youtu.be/gFSMw7-SqFk?...

Brilliant to see my book being put to use 📘😃.

Some exciting news, I've published a book of micro:bit projects! 📘 Been working on this for a while, so pleased to say it is finally available on Amazon. I hope that it can help more children make the most of the micro:bit! So do share 😀.

Today I have made a @microbit.org into a remote control for another micro:bit. This is a great project with soo many possibilities for outputs once you know how to send signals between micro:bits. Full tutorial on YouTube.

I had a great few days in London at BETT last week. The biggest Ed Tech Conference in the world! Great to catch up with digital friends from across the country and make new connections too 💻. Lots of interesting things to see. I even did a little talk, on micro:bits of course!

With Burn's Night coming up I have a new Scratch tutorial for a Scottish themed game. I've called it 'Catch the Haggis'. I have a full tutorial on YouTube.

I'm off to the BETT Conference in London next week. For three days packed with the latest in Ed Tech. Look forward to catching up with digital friends from across the country. Do say hello if you're going to be there!

Today's @microbit.org project is a simple traffic light. Using some basic LEDs and crocodile clips attached to the pins on the micro:bit. I have coded a sequence which happens when you press Button A. youtu.be/ysS_OCXIZI8?...

That's me logging off for Christmas 🎅. Thanks for all the support and interest in my resources this year. I've had 60k downloads of resources on my website and 90k views on YouTube! Got some exciting things lined up for 2026 so look forward to sharing more. Have a great Christmas🎄

Thought I'd share my @microbit.org Christmas Tree 🎄 again this year. I have used some cheap LEDs, crocodile clips and card to create this. The pins are then programed to flash the LEDs in a sequence You will find a full lesson for this here: mrmorrison.co.uk/microbit/christmas

My @microbit.org Christmas Lessons have been popular the past couple of years🎄🎅. They are all standalone lessons so can be done in any combination and adaptable to any class aged 8 upwards. Complete with PPTs, Videos and Lesson Plans here: mrmorrison.co.uk/microbit/chr...

I had a great day at the @stacshq.bsky.social conference in Stirling on Saturday. Lots of interesting talks, workshops and discussion on all things Computing Science in Scotland.

I am delivering a live micro:bit lesson for @digilearnscot.bsky.social Computing Science Week Scotland. This Thursday 11am-12pm online, aimed at P5-7. If you teach this age in a Scottish school you can sign up below ⬇️. #MicrobitChampion

Today I have a Halloween themed project 🎃👻 a @microbit.org ghost that moves between two micro:bits when you shake them. Based on one of my favourite projects the teleporting duck!

If you are looking for something different to do for Halloween 🎃👻 this week I have made a tutorial to create a spooky track in GarageBand (on an iPad). I would say learners of P4 (Age 8) upwards would be able to create a track like this example.

Today's @microbit.org project is a simple stopwatch. Press button A to start Button B to stop. Uses a make code extension font for the digits.

Today I have a @microbit.org version of a very well known game - Rock Paper Scissors 🪨📃✂️. When you shake the micro:bit one of the symbols appears.

My @microbit.org project today is a noise meter..🔊. This displays a graph of noise level input from the microphone on the micro:bit. It then sounds an alarm if the noise gets too high.

Today's @microbit.org project is a countdown timer. On Button A pressed the micro:bit will countdown displaying digits in a special font using an extension.

Today's @microbit.org project is a proximity beacon📡. You can hide one micro:bit and use another to find it. A nice graph appears on the recieving micro:bit. I've use this as a treasure hunt.

As it is @mathsweek.scot I have put together a few ideas for using the @microbit.org in Maths. Including creating dice, counters, a times tables tester and using the data logging features. #MathsWeekScot mrmorrison.co.uk/2025/09/23/m...

As it's @mathsweek.scot today's @microbit.org project is a times tables tester 😃. On button A it will randomly generate a times table question and on button B reveal the answer. Great to practice times tables in a different way. #MathsWeekScot

Today's @microbit.org project is a night light 💡. It uses the light sensors on the micro:bit to measure light level and turn on the light when it gets dark.

Today's project for my @microbit.org tutorial is a clap counter 👏. This uses the microphone to increase the number when it hears a loud sound 🔊.

So today's @microbit.org project is what I call 'rotating screen' investigating the accelrometer the same component that phones and tablets use for screen rotation 🔃.

Here's another simple @microbit.org project for the start of the school year - A dice 🎲. You very quickly have a working dice you can use for a maths lesson, board games or something else!

A new school year is the perfect time to get started with the @microbit.org 😃. Here's my favourite starter project - creating animations 💻. I've created new video tutorials based on my popular micro:bit starter lessons, they will be appearing on Youtube 🎥. #microbitchampion

With the start of the new school year a few people have asked me about planning digitally📒. I think OneNote is the best tool out there for planning and it's free with a microsoft account. I have some OneNote planner templates and video tutorials here: mrmorrison.co.uk/resources/digitalplanning

I had a great day at the Scratch Conference on Thursday 😃. Lots of creative ideas, resources and tips to take away💡. Always inspired by all the amazing projects scratchers create across the world 🌍. Look forward to catching up on the sessions I missed in the next few weeks 💻. #scratchconference

Here's a maze game using tin foil, card, crocodile clips and a @microbit.org . It's got to be one of my favourite micro:bit projects that I've built. It's the fifth of my tin foil electronics series of lessons. You can find these on my website. #MicrobitChampion

Here's a little operation game 🏥 using tin foil, card, crocodile clips and a @microbit.org It's the third of my tin foil electronics series of lessons. You can find these on my website. #MicrobitChampion

Here's a little guitar project 🎸 using tin foil, card, crocodile clips and a @microbit.org⚡️. It's the second of my tin foil electronics series of lessons. You can find these on my website. #MicrobitChampion #microbit

Here's a simple reaction game using tin foil, card, crocodile clips and a @microbit.org ⚡️. It's the first of my tin foil electronics series of lessons. You can find these on my website. #MicrobitChampion

I had a great day at the Google Leader Series Event in Edinburgh yesterday. With presentations, workshops and discussion on AI in Education. Great to catch up with digital colleagues from across Scotland and make some new connections too.

I recently set up a monthly newsletter, to share updates about my resources, ideas and tips on all things digital learning 💻💡. You can sign up at subscribepage.io/mrmorrison or from the bottom of my website. I hope it will be useful to some of you 😃.

My website is now 18 months old 💻. So I was looking at the stats 📈. Over 50k views, ~30k visitors, 30k+ downloads of resouces with amazing 3000 downloads of my first micro:bit lesson 😮. It has also been visited from 100+ countries 🌍. So I must be doing something right! 😃

I'm at the Scottish Mathematical Council Conference today in Stirling. Just delivered my workshop on 'Data and Analysis with the @microbit.org '. Showing some ways that the micro:bit can be used in Maths lessons 📈💻. #MicrobitChampion

I've just added loads of new links to my Padlet of micro:bit ideas. It contains a couple of year's worth of micro:bit ideas and resources I've found online. I hope it inspires you to make the most of the @microbit.org 😃💡💻. padlet.com/MrM_/microbit

I've shared this before but it's that time of year again 🐣. You can create an engaging Easter egg hunt using the radio feature of the @microbit.org All you need is two (or more) micro:bits. The image in the video is a pdf with code and links, available here: mrmorrison.co.uk/microbit

I'm lucky to be a #MicrobitChampion for a third year 😊. Looking forward to connecting with more educators across the world while inspiring our young people 💡.

The #WorldBookDay 📚 theme for staff was Dr Seuss... I spent the day trying to keep this hat on my head. Not very sucessfully, had quite a few collisons with doorframes 😂.

Great to attend the #MicrobitChampion global meet up this afternoon. Brilliant to hear how many students and teachers have been reached by champions with the @microbit.org this year.🌍🌎🌏.

What a fantastic few days at BETT in London. I've come home inspired by so many ideas, new tools and tech 💡. Brilliant to catch up with digital friends from across Scotland and beyond 😊. In person for a change! As well as make lots of new connections too. #BettUK2025

What a brilliant first day @Bett_show. So much to see and people to meet! More posts incoming as I sort through photos of today! #BettUk2025

After a very early start I've arrived in London ✈️ #Bett2025

All set to head to @Bett_show tomorrow ✈️. Really looking forward to it all! If you see me, ask for a sticker 😃. #Bett2025

If you want a different way to practice or perform Scot's poem with your class, create Scratch animations! Could be done with any poem. I have a lesson with video tutorial available here: mrmorrison.co.uk/scratch/

Happy New Year! Excited to say I'm off to @Bett_show in London at the end of the month ✈💻. Looking forward to three days packed with EdTech. Do say hello if you're going too.😀 #Bett2025
