Huge shout out for @lessonhacker.bsky.social's Knowledge Bytes series on the @craigndave.bsky.social YouTube channel. Great for helping with those tricky technical questions from the kid who builds their own PC! Entertaining and informative too! youtube.com/playlist?lis... #CASchat #TeamCompSci

Yep yep. I made a starter pack for Computing teachers here go.bsky.app/F7s6AyK

And keep an eye on the #TeamCompSci and #CASchat hashtags

There are now fifteen episodes of #HTTCS the podcast. Are you a #Computing teacher? I'm not saying this is good CPD, but it's better than a "Towers of Hanoi with tyres" team-building exercise on INSET day 😁

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?"

... they ARE right (for the moment). Explain that you've simplified the subs because you want them to just practice defining and calling. This does seem overly complex, but makes the a MUCH better CS thinker & programmer with bigger tasks later.

I have. It's fine, a bit fiddly to organise your stuff, too many clocks to share and every now and then students get a blank code window from one of my share links.

I'm going to use a combo of gocodeit for setting assignments, and online python & rasp Pi for open ended coding #teamcompsci #caschat

I get the class to respond on MWBs, use '321 show me', then pick some to go under the visualiser. I also use LAN management software to broadcast the feed to their screens as I/we live correct/mark/pick out the brilliant bits in the work. #TeamCompSci #CASchat #edusky

Whoop! Whoop! #caschat is here… feeling positive for 2025 🥰
You asked, we listened - #CASCHAT is here!

We're trying a new format too! Rather than separate Qs - reply as usual (e.g. A1) in the comments of this post💬
This should be easier to find and allow this lovely community to have more of an #edchat without time constraints⌛

I won't be at this one, but the other half of LearningDust - Dave Leonard will be speaking there.

I am on the bill for the #BCLC24 in December though!

Just spent 20 mins playing around with Fortnite Creator having seen it at #CASconf2025. There's no teacher oversight on chats, friend requests etc. It also needs unrestricted access to Fortnite to work. Seems sadly unworkable in a school. Did I miss something? #CSed #TeamCompSci #EdTech #caschat

Yo #teamCompSci - is this where you guys have been hanging out? Gah, what have I missed?! Are we starting our own knock off version of CASChat anytime soon? 😅🙏

Henry and his colleagues are doing amazing work in primary computing. We need children to be more digitally literate and to develop understanding of the potential uses of, benefits and limitations of AI. You might want to check this out.

Are you looking at incorporating an AI unit into your computing long term plan?
This unit is focused on supporting understand in UKS2. My vision was supporting those children in a ever growing digital environment.

#TeamCompSci hive mind.

Ideas for a KS3 'Is this illegal?' pair discussion task scenarios based around copyright and data protection.

eg 'You lend your mate your copy of MarioKart'

'A company send a promo email to its customers. Every recipient can see all the emails addresses.' #CASchat

Genuinely one of the most knowledgeable, insightful and helpful #computerScience educators out there. If you don't follow Andrew already then don't scroll past without clicking. #CASchat #TeamCompSci #EduSky
Welcome new followers! Who are you following? I'm the computing specialist for an LA service teaching students that are off school for medical reasons. Until September I was also "lead teacher" of the service. I've been teaching for 27 years and programming for 43! #TeamCompSci #EduSky
