Hope all educators are enjoying their summer break from school, wherever they are and whatever they're doing! Between me the Computing HoD, my wife the specialist cancer nurse and our three (challenging) sprogs, feel like we've definitely earned this time away! #sunloungermodeengaged #teamcompsci

Sat in the garden listening to the birds singing away, seeing the clouds skud over, getting some work done for school and unfortunately I get the regular magnificent sound of Jet Turbines overhead as I get to see the aircraft taking off from EGGP! Glorious! Sending good vibes for GCSE CS tomorrow!

Sue is so very deserving of this - #PRIMM Is a beautiful coalescence of elements that many educators have found to have worked when teaching programming. Sue has also been a prominent figure (from afar) in my journey too as a computing educator, plus she is a genuinely nice person! Hurrah!

It is neurodiversity celebration week Read about neurodiversity and computer science on our CS4FN portal with articles on: -Designing for autistic people -Neurodiversity and what it takes to be a good programmer -Working in Computer Science: An Autistic Perspective cs4fn.blog/neurodiversi...

Don't forget there are fifteen episodes so far of #HTTCS the #podcast to help you with your #computing teaching. Here's one from this time last year featuring Miss Tough entitled "How do we prepare for #exams?" pod.httcs.online/e/e006/ #TeamCompSci #caschat

⭐ Calling all primary computing lead teachers in the Liverpool city region ⭐ Myself and Jo Hodge are hosting a Digital Schoolhouse primary networking meeting, for any teachers leading on Computing at their school/trust. All details on attached flyer. #TeamCompSci Please share!

Had an amazing day at @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social HQ for an AI Educator and Research Symposium. We had such a positive group of educators driving forward how AI should be taught in our schools. It's worth looking up Kelly Shiohira of UNESCO and Prof Matti Tedre of Finland to see why! #TeamCompSci

Full of cold, taught all five lessons and then had a twilight in school - came out to this wonderous scene visible from just across the road. #thecityshelovesme #liverpool

NEW #PODCAST EPISODE HAS DROPPED! Listen now to the brilliant @msbclarke.bsky.social and I discuss the Issues and Impacts of #Computing: #AI, #automation, #UBI, helicopter parents and the wisdom of George Michael. All is explained within... #TeamCompSci #caschat #CSEd pod.httcs.online/e/s2e03/

How is Finland teaching AI in schools? New blog on a talk given by Matti Tedre, currently visiting us at @rpcerc.bsky.social: computingeducationresearch.org/blog-develop...

#BETT starts tomorrow!🌟 We can't wait to see you, make sure to add #CASatBETT and tag us in your posts! #TeamCompSci #CSed

A proud update to my bio - changing the 'M' to a 'S'! Really enjoyed this course across the 1.5 years - found it really interesting and I'm sure it will help on the journey ahead. Thank you @ambitioninstitute.bsky.social and #ShawEducationTrust #EduSky

Doing some programming refresher bits via coddy.tech - anyone on #TeamCompSci tried it? All browser based and the challenge seems pitched on a decent curve. If anyone fancies giving me some platform based points, my referral code is coddy.tech?ref=7u9if4 Hopefully see you on the leaderboard! 👍

If you've never dipped into any of Sam's work, as an educator who may be interested in the wider education picture this could be worth teeing up #TeamCompSci

What does the future of #EdTech look like? What trends will truly shape the way we teach and learn in 2025? 🤔 ✨ Get ahead of the curve with my Top #EdTech Predictions! techround.co.uk/edtech/exper... #FutureOfEducation

Brilliant! Can put this to good use with my Y11s and Y10s - especially the 10s who are currently doing an Algorithms unit!

Looking forward to celebrating with Winners of the Pearson Teaching Awards tonight. Wonderful to thank our education colleagues @collegeofteaching.bsky.social

Another useful starter pack for anyone in Education, to help get the best out of this platform in terms of networks and content! Glad I discovered this! Definitely worth a look #TeamCompSci #EduSky

Definitely an account worth following #TeamCompSci - can't wait to see what gems and insights are revealed to us via this account!

Definitely feeling like this platform and community is a much more supportive and collaborative place to be. Feels very much like the old days before the 'other' place took a major new direction. #TeamCompSci #EduSky

Anyone else on the mock exam train? Tis the season! 🤣 #TeamCompSci #EduSky

‼️ 🔔 Competition Want to win a copy of my book Is Leadership A Race? Repost this post Winner announced Sunday at 10pm

Doing some jobs in the kitchen and I played Absolute 90s on the Alexa. Is it definitely a #TeamCompSci thing when you hear Weezer playing 'Buddy Holly' and immediately think of the Windows 95 CD-ROM and their 'Happy Days' themed music video?

Any other #TeamCompSci peeps at the #CredimusAI conference today at Kings Leadership Academy in Warrington? Interesting concepts and guest speakers!

FREE ROBOT KIT OPPORTUNITY We are pleased to be hosting VEXRoboticsUK at NorthLivAcademy on 15/11 for some staff training on VEX IQ and this years competition. First 8 confirmed attending schools that sign up will receive a free 1st gen kit and free team registration. Pls share #TeamCompSci

I have a report out today with The Sutton Trust looking back at the huge array of reforms over the past few decades and asking if they've made a difference. What's got better, what's got worse, and what are the challenges for the new government? www.suttontrust.com/our-research...

Our Teacher CS vacancy at @NorthLivAcademy closes at midnight this Sunday. The job info document isn't big enough to be able to talk about how supported and amazing our team is. If you have any queries about the school or post, please DM me. #TeamCompSci Please share www.tes.com/jobs/vacancy...

We have a vacancy for a Computer Science teacher in Liverpool, located very close to the city centre. Please see this link or NSTCareers on X for more info. Happy to answer any Q's. Can #TeamCompSci colleagues please help spread the word - thanks! ce0218li.webitrent.com/ce0218li_web...

Was invited onto BBC Radio Merseyside this morning to talk about the issues surrounding yesterday's Cyber attack on National Rail WiFi, cyber security in general, and some bits about cyber education and our school. Think I did #TeamCompSci proud! I'm on 47 mins in. tinyurl.com/4yxks92a

Proper quality family time today - chilled and amazed in equal measures. The eonarium enlightenment light show at St George's Hall Liverpool was epic. Lying on bean bags, taking in the light show and accompanying music - superb! Couldn't help think what algorithms made this possible! #TeamCompSci

A year and a half of work went into that one assignment, and that's everything done for my NPQSL. I definitely feel it has altered my perception as a middle leader, and it has generally been interesting learning about how some of our day to day school aspects would (or should!) have been approached.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #6,154,900!

First week back done - what a week it was, phew! I'll be raising a glass to all #Edusky & #TeamCompSci after that slog!

Great micro site with lesson ideas and resources for Social, ethical, legal issues in computing: social.cs.washington.edu/sfl-curricul... via University of Washington The accompanying research paper from SIGCSE 2024: dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1... #TeamCompSci #CASchat #EduSky #CSEd

The paralympics are here olympics.com/en/paris-2024 so seems like a good time to point out that computer science is also for all and technology should be designed for all - find out more through our Neurodiversity and Disability in Computer Science portal cs4fn.blog/disability-i...

Interested to know, what are other #EduSky peep's go to soundtracks for focus/marking/being in the zone? For me as a computing educator #TeamCompSci, the Tron Legacy soundtrack is my go to (although right now in the gym I'm listening to Muscle Prodigy). What is your go-to soundtrack or song?

@jonabi.bsky.social Welcome friend!

"It is clear the current high-stakes, end-of-course exam model is causing significant stress and anxiety among students, which is unacceptable," @ascl-uk.bsky.social @pepediiasio.bsky.social with a strong warning on impact of current exam system ahead of GCSEs. www.tes.com/magazine/new...

Nice collection of resources by @ericcurts.bsky.social could be useful to #TeamCompSci or any new teachers in the #edusky

Computational efficiency (jargon of the day!) needs to be balanced against desirable difficulties. And can be done so when judged against extrinsic and intrinsic cognitive load. I think it highly productive to place two theories against each other (but not in battle).
