Those crazy people at @quizizz (well, @jneale) are letting me loose on their stand at BETT tomorrow! Come and join in a lesson at 11am with me 🙂

@aecrxxs Come join us in the other place (Bluesky), the water’s lovely x

Heart breaks for my favourite twitter account 🥺

@clcsimon @CompAtSch @quizizz Nice! We use Google Forms for slightly more formal stuff but I like the different game modes on Quizizz and the lesson feature is really good for delivering + assessing as you go #caschat

@MrOW_CS @CompAtSch @quizizz Haven't used quizizz. I tend to use Kahoot or Microsoft Forms. I've started to use AI to create my quizzes and use the upload feature in MS Forms to create my self-marking mcq tests #caschat

Q3: How can teachers leverage student feedback to tailor computing lessons more effectively? #CASCHAT #edutwitter #edchat

@advanced_ict @CompAtSch Given some of the boys in our classes I totally understand 😂 #caschat

Q2: What have you seen or done that has increased girls’ interest in computing? If you want to improve diversity in your KS4 computing uptake take a look at this aticle from #CASconf2024 🔗hubs.ly/Q02WCx7F0 #girlsincomputing #CASCHAT #edchat #edutwitter

@CompAtSch A4 Haven’t used it an awful lot yet but I’ve had success using it to rewrite an article (and comprehension questions) to a particular reading age! #caschat

Q4: In what ways can generative AI tools be used to help personalise learning experiences? Interested in discussing #AIinEducation further? Head over to our #AI thematic community who's next event is this Thursday! 🔗hubs.ly/Q02WCCPs0 #CASCHAT #edchat #edutwitter

@MrsMounsey @clcsimon @CompAtSch This is cool, I’m having to do similar with our Y9 coding unit this half term as lots of the lower attaining students are struggling. #caschat

@clcsimon @MrOW_CS @CompAtSch A1. Parsons problems work really well with scratch lessons, slowly introducing them with Python. #caschat

Welcome back to #CASCHAT 💬 This week @clcsimon is back to guest host with some personalised learning themed questions⬇️ Q1: What strategies do you use to differentiate instruction in your computing classes? #edchat #edutwitter

@CompAtSch If the latter, I’ve used @quizizz a lot to work out which topics are generally in need of work and have tailored more lessons to that with extra time spent with the ones who need it #caschat

@CompAtSch A3 does this mean feedback on the lessons or giving them feedback? If the former, I regularly ask students for feedback on what works and what doesn’t while also getting them to self assess their learning #caschat

@CompAtSch A2 Taking part in girl-only events like Ada Lovelace day at RAL and the CyberFirst competition have really helped get girls interested - then complementing this with lots of opportunities for all in school. That and just praising the good work they do! #caschat

@clcsimon @CompAtSch Evening! If I wasn’t teaching (which was the goal anyway!) I wanted to play the Phantom of the Opera on stage. One day…

@CompAtSch Hi everyone, please introduce yourself and tell us what job you wanted to do when you left school. I wanted to be an archaeologist! #caschat

Shouldn’t have been a penalty, Max needs to stop being allowed to shove anyone off who tries to overtake him. #f1

@bushontheradio In tomato pasta sauce!

Just evaluating Worcester sauce. Please reply to this with any uses of it that doesn't involve beans or cheese on toast.

@lucysmooshy Want

CS teacher followers: We're hoping to join a student simracing league but need to source computers! Any recommendations on going about it with hardly any budget?!

@aecrxxs When you come home I’m buying you a Lego John Deere

You don’t understand, when I drive down the west coast I’m going to get to see a giant version of my favourite kind of vehicle

@wbuxtonofficial Still waiting for the sabbatical to end!

Happy Birthday @F1MikaHakkinen. The 2 time F1 champion overcame incredible odds to become one of the defining racers of his era and a deeply loved and respected member of the paddock. Read his story and that of every F1 champion in my new book Grand Prix, out in the UK on Oct 10.

@legsidelizzy Who could possibly have expected this to happen?! Hope the food’s good for you up there at least

Biblical in Nottingham. Won't be long before they stick a fork in it. Tomorrow's weather for the reserve day is no better and so this time tomorrow likely they'll share the trophy. Which is a deeply unsatisfactory outcome for absolutely everyone.

@aecrxxs 🫂

Fuck me you know you’re fucked when one dream about them gives you such severe anxiety you wake up in sweats. Bitch it’s been 7 months.

@Patymogio Congrats and good luck Paty!!!
