Are you a primary teacher who uses, or is interested in using, commercial video games as part of your programming lessons? I'm currently researching this area and have already visited several schools. If you'd be open to discussing your classroom practice, I'd love to hear from you 😀

Thank you to @ukieofficial.bsky.social, Nintendo, PlayStation, @neilrickus.bsky.social, @egosoft.bsky.social, @andygeers.bsky.social and our amazing team of helpers!

Looking forward to volunteering at the @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social London’s Family Gaming Zone with @geekdadgamer.bsky.social and team this weekend. Come along and say “hi” if you’re about 😀🕹️🎮👾

CALLING INDIE DEVS! Got a game on Switch or PlayStation that works local multiplayer? I'd love to include your game in our huge Family Gaming Zone at @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social this week. Please share and tag devs! Here's what it looks like: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9ZG...

Great to have been invited to @wearebcs.bsky.social today to celebrate 10 years of Barefoot Computing. Loved hearing how resources I’ve written have been enjoyed in schools; particularly the Phisherman! Keep up the good work @juliaadamson.bsky.social @b3ndavi3s.bsky.social @fionabaxter.bsky.social

Really looking forward to seeing this!
