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

Three key takeaways from the brilliant @janewaite.bsky.social at #BCLC24 …
1. DEANTHROPOMORPHISE Ai
2. Choose your images to represent Ai carefully
3. Clean up the language you use to talk about Ai
Great starting point on this journey to teach about Ai in the classroom #EduSky #TeamCompSci

I think it still matters, but in a different way. Programming education should be more than ever about problem solving, criticality and creativity. I spoke a little about this in my talk yesterday: youtu.be/GQbZNxka-tA?... #BCLC24
