#AI #Education #DfE #Guidance

DfE & Ofsted have updated guidance on AI in education DfE: Training modules on safe/effective AI use & policy stressing professional judgement, safeguarding, data & IP. Ofsted: Won’t inspect AI tools, but will look schools use impact on learners. Early adopters: The biggest risk is doing nothing.

Great to be at the Festival of Computing today in Bromsgrove School #Computing #FestivalOfComputing25

The TPEA conference is coming up soon! Unfortunately I can’t make this year, but it should be a great couple of days. #Edtech #Education #Conference #Computing #CSEd #Research tpea.ac.uk/2025conferen...

My son's homework last week was to create a Andy Warhol picture of some homeware. He created this on Apple Keynote with the iPad and the Apple Pencil. #ApplePencil #DigitalArt

Just arrived today! In my Kindle App One Pagers Volume 2 to with my Volume 1 These are so useful for out #ITE #PGCE students for their professional studies sessions. Fantastic work by Jamie once again! Thanks 🙌 @xpateducator.bsky.social

Super pleased to see that one of our BA Primary Teacher Education Trainnee Students has choosen to do their assignment poster for my module on foundation subjects about #Computing based on my seminars with them. #ITE #ITT #Primary #Education #DigitalLitracy

Thanks so much for visiting, and teaching us Crumble!

Had a great day with @milesberry.net running a physical #computing workshop with his cohort of #PGCE computing students @uni-roehampton.bsky.social #TeamCompSci #ITE #ITT

In Action. Very proud of this series… Congratulations to @neilgilbride.bsky.social - welcome to the gang! @johncattedu.bsky.social

⚠️ POOR PROXIES FOR LEARNING! Just because students are busy, engaged, or writing doesn’t mean they’re learning. Learning happens when students have to think hard! In this issue, I explore proxies for learning highlighted by @profcoe.bsky.social and what to do instead. t.co/zoX6CHaNFd

Great to have the latest edition of HelloWorld magazine @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social the Teacher Symposium on Teaching AI was a fantastic day! Thanks again @janewaite.bsky.social for bringing us all together. #teamcompsci #HelloWorld #EduSky #AIEdu #Computing

Had a great chat today with @janewaite.bsky.social all about data-driven systems, data and information, and how we might teach this to our trainee teachers and ultimately children.

8th April Online seminar on teaching data science in school David Weintrop and team. raspberrypi.org/research/sem... 17:00 GMT / 12:00 ET / 9:00 PT / 18:00 CET @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social @csedresearch.bsky.social @theaieducator.io @nctm.org @ncetm.bsky.social @computingatschool.bsky.social

NEW PODCAST EPISODE! Rebecca Franks and I talk about Flip Computing, Quality First Teaching and Flock XR, Flip Computing's new, free, 3D creation tool that bridges the gap between Scratch and Blender. Also I wait while you donate to keep the podcast alive. bit.ly/4cettjo #TeamCompSci #caschat

Very interesting stuff here #teamcompsci

Curious changes to GCSE Computer Science from the DfE. #TeamCompSci - if there are no topologies why do you still need to know about switches? - doesn't discussion of magnetic/optical/solid-state get students to think about the the whole two-state representation thing, and why computers use binary?

Had a great day with our BA Y2 trainees—exploring digital literacy, then getting hands-on with Scratch, coding quiz games using selection (if, then, else). Lots of lightbulb moments 💡 Also… very happy that my Scratch coffee cup finally arrived! 🧡🐱☕ #ComputingEd #Scratch #ITT #TeamCompSci

It seems like Mark Gudzial's article has been sparking a lot of discussion about sense of belonging versus personal relevance in #CSed, but I still don't understand why one would need to replace the other. #TeamCompSci

btw, the app I'm building is a really simple writing game, meant to help teach how LLMs work. I'm sure you've played something like it before. I hope it'll get the teaching gears turning. Curious? DM and i'll share in return for feedback. 🤓🫶 #aiedu #csk8 #teamCompSci

March is nearly over so we're spotlighting🔦 our member-uploaded resource of the month, picked by Ben and Becci ✨Mouse Skills Web Resources uploaded by Bill Harvey 🔥R354 - Data Representation uploaded by Thomas Lund Thanks to Bill and Thomas for uploading standout resources! #TeamCompSci #CSed

@isioviel.bsky.social Thanks for coming up to campus yesterday to help with coding event. It was great to see you!

Was great, I love my job!

Great day! We had 70 year 5 and 6 primary school children on campus doing a Microbit coding day with a fantastic local education charity @digitallcharity.bsky.social thanks petermarshman.bsky.social @tigwilliams.bsky.social and let’s do this again! #Primary #Computing #Microbit #TeamCompSci

University Harcourt Hill campus looking very spring like yesterday. #spring #blossom @brookesscholcomms.bsky.social

Yay my new robot design is all up & running! 🤖 sorted out the power issues (switched to 18650 batteries, seems to be working 🤞) 🤖 3D printed a connector for the grabbing servo (only took 9 revisions 🤣) All ready for April's computing club (well, this one is... 15 more robots to upgrade!)

Really interesting CAS session this afternoon all about Developing and implementing an AI strategy in schools. www.computingatschool.org.uk/events/2025/... @computingatschool.bsky.social @b3ndavi3s.bsky.social #AIEducation #PrimaryEducation #DigitalStratergy #AILiteracy

A little slow to start with but it picked up! Thanks for your patience over the last few weeks with no #PrimaryRocks We will return next week from 8pm! Tell your friends we are back! Thanks for sharing your experiences tonight everyone!

On the 18th March- DfE released the Curriculum and Assessment Review: interim report assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67d961... "In an AI-enabled world, we must equip young minds with the digital skills and critical thinking to not just navigate change, but to shape the future." #Ai #EduSky

👩‍🏫 Teaching with the micro:bit, a Primary Teachers' guide. All the information you need to introduce the micro:bit into the primary classroom. It includes background information, worked examples, and lists sources of further information for the curious. 👉 kitronik.co.uk/blogs/resour...

Great recommended reading from @drellieo.bsky.social on meeting diverse student needs in computing!

I love PRIMM! Congratulations to @suesentance.bsky.social for this recognition of her work. Thank you to Sue and all the other people out there helping to develop resources for computing CPK! #CSed #TeamCompSci

You know those nightmares when you realize you didn't go to class all semester? I just had a nightmare that I accidentally missed my workshop for #CSTA2025... So happy to be facilitating a workshop on 'Cybersecurity Unplugged' in Cleveland this July, and I promise I'll be there! #CSed #TeamCompSci

After Ofsted, a car crash and parish commitments on the last 3 Mondays, #PrimaryRocks is back tonight! Join us from 8pm tonight for the best primary focused Ed chat!

Curriculum and Assessment Review: interim report realsed this week. www.gov.uk/government/p... #curriculum #schools #England

Had a great afternoon and evening with @collegeofteaching.bsky.social in London at the annual AI conference. It was a really informative and engaging panel discussion about issues relating to many aspects of AI impact on Education. #AI #Edtech #Computing

Started to use @paperpile.com to help organise my citations. It's a very easy to use unlike some of the other citation tools. #HE #Academic

Now that the Computing Hubs are closing. It was great to have a good old @computingatschool.bsky.social in-person CAS meeting this afternoon! @stefchapman.bsky.social #CAS #TeamCompSci #Computing #PrimarySchool

The second Computing subject knowledge session today for the OTT #SCITT trainees. Great engagement from the group online. #ITT #PGCE

This is such an important consideration when thinking about how learning happens. It's not about being a luddite or a technophobe or being wedded to the past, or not embracing change; it's about recognising that handwriting has a markedly different impact on the brain.

We had an incredible time at RAL, bringing 130 pupils from Oxfordshire schools together for our Big Schools’ Bird Watch! 🦅 Read all about what we got up to at digitall.charity/post/why-sup... @rspb.bsky.social @ukri.org #coding #birdwatch #STEM
