Data representation with yr8 today and they all had fun with #morsecode These are the words they encoded and the rest of the class decoded @WeAreComputing

My favourite reason for being late to a lesson was given to me by a yr8 this week. ‘Sorry miss, I went to Thursday’ #timetravel 🤣

I gave my yr10’s ducks this week. They think I’m quackers but they loved it 🥰 (from experience I bought them without squeakers) #duckdebugging @caschat_uk @cgarside

@MsGHist Feel free to DM me

Where are my Comp Sci teachers at? I’m line managing Comp Sci next year and would like to get a head start and ask some qs

An amazing working group of teachers and others have put together a booklet on generative AI for computing teachers. It's full of tips and examples, and a glossary of terms. We really hope you find it useful. Please share if you do. computingeducationresearch.org/blog-using-gen…

Oo new toy to play with!! Looking forward to using it with students tomorrow! #ibelong #girlsincomputing @WeAreComputing @Kitronik #gamezip @microbit_edu

Got a lovely card yesterday from a student. I’ve taught them and their older siblings in the 14 years I’ve been where I am. I taught them 3 different subjects too. Music, computer science and media. Onwards and upwards to my new school and new families in Sept #memories

So you’ve planned whole school CPD on using @OpenAI for teaching and learning only to find it’s this particular morning that it’s gone #down 🙈 @google_bardai to the rescue! #thinkingonyourfeer

Guess who’s a guest on this one?? #me

Anyone on here got a 20min intro to AI in teaching and learning CPD session for secondary teachers they wouldn’t mind sharing? #sharingiscaring #thankyou @HelloWorld_Edu @WeAreComputing

@cgarside even computing gets a mention!!!

Great colleagues, great school 😊

@BobBilsland @IAmKatharineC @HelloWorld_Edu @cgarside @janewaite @Sonic_Pi That was entirely my degree. A complete move away from what I thought I knew music was.

@BrantHelen @IAmKatharineC @HelloWorld_Edu @cgarside @janewaite @Sonic_Pi All of a sudden they find that a physical instrument isn't needed and code can be played live and they have a way into music that they hadn't expected.

Here’s a question: Is there a correlation between students that are good at music and computer science? I’m finding those that excel in music are also those that excel in CS. Are there any studies out there? @HelloWorld_Edu @cgarside

@BobBilsland @HelloWorld_Edu @cgarside I did music to degree level but went down an electronic music BSc route. Taught music for 14 years and have moved over to CS teaching. Hence, me wondering what the link is.

@BrantHelen @HelloWorld_Edu @cgarside From a personal opinion my daughter took both Music and CS up to A-Level and then took Music to Degree, Masters and PGCE. She excelled at music and had no problems with CS. Mind you I'm a Software Engineer and my wife is Musical so that "may" have helped. 😎

@IAmKatharineC @HelloWorld_Edu @cgarside @janewaite @Sonic_Pi I have used it myself but want to try and incorporate it into the curriculum next year

@HelloWorld_Edu @BrantHelen @cgarside @janewaite There are lots of studies that examine using music as a context for learning computer science but less research into connecting the skills used across both disciplines. Have you used @Sonic_Pi with your students? It's a really nice link between CS and music.

@cgarside @HelloWorld_Edu Thanks for all of this! Lots of interesting reading

@BrantHelen @HelloWorld_Edu Great question! We were talking about it at the hub last week and about students applying for a combined music and CS degree. Might we start campaigning for more music in the curriculum as well as computing time? journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.230…

@sifrazer I had to run with Fillingham. He got me a great time and was very encouraging!

What are you doing to recharge this weekend? Pics please 💙💛

@bletchleypark outreach day today. History, Computer science and Maths! Really engaging and we’ve seen a real #enigmamachine @cgarside @WeAreComputing @cooppriesthorpe
