Finally got my teeth into some of the The Retro Hour Podcast book interviews. Love how they’ve combined photos and game graphics throughout the text 😀🕹️ #retrogaming

Looks like a great role to work with some amazing people 😀 #caschat

Having lots of fun with the Scratch Team team out in Boston. Using my face to control a Micro:bit Educational Foundation buggy with Kitronik board 😀 #caschat #csk8 Lesley Steam

After a lot of reading over the past few months, it is always nice to go back to teaching using the good old Bee Bot with the first year Primary BEd students University of Hertfordshire today. Combing programming with video editing! #caschat

Have you explored Accessible Adventures in Coding by #ScratchEducationCollaborative organization Barefoot Computing? This equitable creative coding resource helps students learn about the importance of accessibility in technology in a playful and engaging way! barefootcomputing.org/resources/acce…

This is an amazing programme Computing at School Looking forward to presenting on my King's College London LISS-DTP research on using commercial video games to support the learning of programming 🕹️ #caschat

Join my colleague Rachael Coultart for some cross-curricular CPD Centre for STEM Education University of Hertfordshire in March. Linking computing with science, maths and DT, it even includes Crumble kit loan for participating schools! More info in video ⬇️ #caschat #STEM education #STEM #ComputerScience #EduTwitter

Lovely to chat Scratch Jr Tactile at #Bett2024 yesterday. Always good to have something new and Scratch Team related on my desk too… #caschat

So nice to see people in person! Finishing my 2 days at Bett Global with some socialising Ben Garside Alan Harrison, httcs.online Tig Williams Chris West Sonya Coakley-Hanan Neil Rickus Prof. Miles Berry Beverly Clarke CASCHAT

Off to #Bett2024 today, so seems a train selfie with coffee is required 🙃 Any recommendations of people / tech / presentations to see? “From pixels to pedagogy” in the #eSports arena at midday looks good #caschat

With our philanthropic partners, Wipro (a large Indian technology company), we are looking to develop CPD for secondary computing teachers. We want to use the technical resources and expertise of Wipro and want to talk to teachers on best approaches (1/2)

If you are a UK computing teacher and could take part in a focus group (6th February 4-5pm in Teams) to give your views on the CPD you want please send me a message: [email protected] (2/2)

Computing at School is going to bett and we're having a meetup on Thursday 25th 4.45-6.30 for a drink. Hope to see you there! Please let us know if you're planning to stop by and say hi to Becci Peters and Julia Adamson MBE forms.office.com/e/r0V3TqviT8

Thanks to Dan, Ravi and Joe The Retro Hour Podcast for making this happen. Looking forward to starting it later! 🕹️

Here's a great opportunity for a computing education researcher (5 year fixed term) at the University of Cambridge - jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/43778/ Closes 30th November.

I’m likely to be researching how video games can be used to support the teaching of programming. Particularly interested in commercial games (e.g. Pac-Man) rather than programming games (e.g. Lightbot). If you use them in the classroom, could you let me know? 😀 #caschat #csk8
