I've teamed up with OTSA to bring you some after school online training sessions on Scratch and Mircro:bits : rundontwalk.co.uk/2025/07/07/a...

Hi all, Digit:all have some sessions setup where schools / trusts / HTs/ teachers can join to find out about all the free support and grants they provide. In these sessions, they also find out what your schools needs are: www.linkedin.com/posts/peterm... @digitallcharity.bsky.social

Don't forget, there are some amazing NCCE courses that have now been recorded and put online, rather than live. Still completely free! Take this one for example... you may recognise a familiar face in the videos! @wearecomputing.bsky.social teachcomputing.org/courses/CO00...

Would it be too hard for you to go without your phone for 3 hours? rundontwalk.co.uk/2025/04/23/d...

Thanks to all who have already filled this in; final chance this week to fill in survey regarding what you want in terms of computing support: (Please re-post and spread the word if you can! Thanks) rundontwalk.co.uk/2025/02/11/c...

What a fab venue for Computing Leaders CPD today with the awesome @philwickins.bsky.social very sad that it’s the end of an era as the government have cut funding for any more in person courses. Don’t be a stranger Mr Wikins

So this may be the last face to face CPD I run for the NCCE 😢 If you are near Newbury and are able to get to Shaw House for the day on Tuesday Feb 25th, I'm facilitating 'Leading Primary Computing Module 3' @wearecomputing.bsky.social Message me if you want to come!

If you are a primary school teacher affected by the closure of the computing hubs and discontinuation of free live CPD courses and other supportive resources, please take a minute to have a look at this: rundontwalk.co.uk/2025/02/11/c... - Please re-post!

Team Primary! (Well half of us!) At @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social AI symposium. What an amazing day - So much to think about, oh the possibilities!!!! @duckstar.bsky.social @janewaite.bsky.social @mwimpennys.bsky.social @suesentance.bsky.social @katharinechilds.bsky.social

For those of you who may not already know, I've done a bit of DJing in my time! Someone persuaded me to come out of retirement, dust off the vinyl and play an online set at the Big Christmas Big Beat Party. If you like Fatboy Slim kinda music, check me out 12:30 the 22nd! www.twitch.tv/crashpartyuk

Free CPD day at Shaw House, Newbury, Feb 25; I'll be delivering the new Leading Primary Computing Module 3 course!

@cashforkids.bsky.social We organise a classic car 'parade' to the drop off warehouse every year and donate gifts we've gathered, but there doesn't seem to be a warehouse address this year, and don't fancy just driving to a Tesco to drop in a box! Can you let me know where the warehouse is?

We're at The Big Computing Leadership Conference at Oxford Brookes University. Having a great time, & already bumped into Phil Wickens. If you’re attending, make sure to wave us down & say hi! #BigComputingLeadership #EdTech #CraigNDave #AlevelTeaching #TeamCompSci

Two of my most favourite people: @janewaite.bsky.social and @duckstar.bsky.social discussing neural network large language model generative artificial intelligence application problems... This is how Computer Scientists play with their food! #BCLC24 @wearecomputing.bsky.social

Great day today at the Big Computing Leadership Conference in Oxford. Spent the day working with teachers in the physical computing space and built #crumble buggies and #microbit creations. Thanks to everyone who came and said Hi. #BCLC24

Very much enjoyed the informative and entertaining @philwickins.bsky.social talking about Adaptive Teaching #BCLC24

Tell me you’re a primary teacher without telling me you’re a primary teacher… #BCLC24 #animated #gesticulating #talkwithyourhands

And we're off! @sciencehub.bsky.social launches the Big Computing Leadership Conference 2024! #BCLC24 #TeamCompSci

It’s all about Pancakes at the #BCLC24!!

High level testing underway for tomorrow's #BCLC24. @mraharrison.bsky.social meets Doris the new deliveroo bot. #TeamCompSci #CASchat

Today in Computing, Y2 finished up their unit on photography with some advanced editing using the MarkUp tools. We took every day objects and turned them into something else! As you can see, the children were very creative. Well done Y2! @threebridgessch.bsky.social

What a team! A great evening get together before The Big Computing Leadership Conference tomorrow! #BCLC24 @duckstar.bsky.social @tigwilliams.bsky.social @mraharrison.bsky.social @sciencehub.bsky.social @mwimpennys.bsky.social @wearecomputing.bsky.social
