Cleaning out my camera roll 😄

@MrWalker_CS I've looked briefly at that, just wasn't inspired by it's basic appearance.

@CompSci_HoD We use Thonny

What IDE do you use for Python? We've used PyScripter for years but are having issues installing different modules so are looking for alternatives suitable for KS4 & 5.

It's just like waiting for the Blue Light card email!

I HAD to send this one really though didn't I! #thortfulCards

@Gripweed1 Might be worth a shot on the one 5 marks off?

@CompSci_HoD I don’t seem to have many students in on the borderline of the grade boundaries .. they are a good 5 - 8 marks away

So …OCR #gcsecomputing teachers…. How have your grades turned out after Paper2Gate? 🤔#caschat

@GrumpyCompSci My Dad once fell for one via a phone call. His broadband was giving him grief and shortly after he randomly received a call from a man at 'The Internet'. He downloaded software that gave the guy full access 😮‍💨

My brother’s just fallen for a “Wilko Clearance” fake website #scam. Pretty obvious to those of us who teach about scams, but not to others. Educate your friends and family too

@Learncompsci The 5 marks were on one of the top students' papers, this took him to an 8, he'd got 9s in the trials.

@CompSci_HoD I've thought about it when I looked at the papers for my top kids I was shocked to see they had just left questions blank. Clearly more work on decomposing questions to figure out what is actually needed. They even forgot what concatenation was but the weaker kids got it😥

I put four J277 Unit 2 papers in for a remark, they came back 2 - 5 marks higher. It's worth doing!

@GrumpyCompSci We use that a lot

Here’s another website I love. Simple and concise, and one of the few with resources for Cambridge Technicals IT Level 3. csnewbs.com

@MissKhanMHCC This is great too w3schools.com

Great website created by Craig and Dave for programming: time2code.today

@Ruth_Hilliard Blimey, even earlier!

Anyone else start back on the 31st August?

@CompSciTeacher2 Some of our kids are in then. Staff tomorrow. I've got that Sunday feeling.

@CompSci_HoD Almost bizarrely, Fri 1st

@RogersHistory Few days before the results come out.

Teachers - in the summer holiday, at what point do you start thinking about school again?

@Dazzalee127320 @Matalan Reduced further at checkout to £18 for the jacket, £10 trousers. Suit would have been £95 previously. I've got a few of theirs, they last well.

Teacher tip - Matalan machine washable suits are hard to beat. Just picked up another in the sale for just £28!

@efaulkneruk @sciencemuseum Looks great! We're hoping to do a trip to the one in Sheffield this school year.

Had an absolutely amazing trip to London Science Museum this week, found this gem in the basement level which has just been opened, needless to say that I was in #gaming heaven! They host school trips too! 🤓 @sciencemuseum #gamers #computerscience #nostalgia

Deep dives were in English, Maths, Science, History & Geography.

@TLanokia I can relate!

There are no new ideas... just recycled old ones.
