And I'm back! After having my X account hacked a little over a week ago we are back. I lost EVERYTHING except my username... So if folks are looking for me I'm back! If you cared.. 😜

@tpot_9 @OCSB_LT Only open to #OCSB?

@OCSB_LT Consider facilitating a session! We need more people to apply. Think of your favourite tech to use and present on that

@tpot_9 @mrcodycreed @AshfoldComp @microbit_edu @scratch If that doesn't work we could connect! Ottawa is not too far from Gatineau!

@mrcodycreed @AshfoldComp @afmcdnl @microbit_edu @scratch It’s the cable that came with the microbit. But I will try a few others

Huge thanks to @AshfoldComp for running an amazing webinar on how to build a retro space invaders game using the @microbit_edu Teachers who wants a "lunch n learn" on building video games using #microbit? #OCSB

@BobBilsland @CodeClub @microbit_edu Oh, I didn't post yet.

@afmcdnl @CodeClub @microbit_edu Hopefully I've got everyone who has announced themselves on here so far. Do a quick check once or twice a day to see if I can find anyone else 👍🏻

I suppose after being a big believer in the use of micro:bits and have taught kids to use them through my @CodeClub, applying to be a #microbitChampion was well overdue. Thanks @microbit_edu for saying yes. It's going to be fun sharing my enthusiasm and showing what's possible 🎉

@mr_isaacs @UnrealEngine Sounds interesting! I might have to explore the @FNCreate

Educators: applications for our intensive (free) online summer Epic Secondary Educator Accelerator are now open! Americas: July 22-26 EMEA: Aug 19-23 unrealengine.com/en-US/educator… @UnrealEngine

Hey #NCTIES24! We know y’all have been up having a good ole time doing that electric and cha cha sliding tonight but don’t forget to get to the conv center by 10:30 for the “Future of #Fortnite (in Education)” session in room 202 Friday morning ! @FNCreate #LEGOFortnite #NCTIES

@_sexypenguin @mr_isaacs I told him to go walk the dog... 🐕

@afmcdnl @mr_isaacs heh, what a baby

Join us at The Future of Fortnite (in Education)! At 10:30 in room 202 at #NCTIES #NCTIES24

@uab_atim @ALSDEEdTech @CS4Alabama @ALSDEOSI @AMSTI4all @AMSTI_UM @AMSTIUAB @Marthagaskins06 @Minor_Mustangs @BhamCitySchools @TonyaAl03160747 @MzMLC We love to see the micro:bit used in other curriculum areas - and you're so right, hands on learning really helps with abstract concepts 🙌

I used @microbit_edu to teach probability! Students programmed it to simulate dice 🎲rolls & recorded data. Then, charted results in #GoogleSheets and created a comparison chart. It's amazing how hands-on coding can make abstract concepts crystal clear! @ALSDEEdTech @CS4Alabama

@RudyChem @Forward__EDU Nice!

@afmcdnl @Forward__EDU I did. I have a kit!

@makeymakey @bquentin3 Jealous!

@bquentin3 You're welcome! 😊

It's a good day to sport Makey Makey socks! Big thank you to @makeymakey for these!

Welcome everyone! Since I lost my X account last week I will be posting a bunch of my resources for others to use. Here is my @microbit_edu playlist. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

@rocks_cs @bquentin3 @MSMakeCode @microbit_edu @4pip There are bunch of great educators to follow! Good luck with the journey! #microbit @microbit_edu

@bquentin3 @MSMakeCode @microbit_edu @4pip Done ✅

I saw this on here but can’t find who posted about it but I’m so happy I ordered it. Pretty cool stuff for my students using @MSMakeCode @microbit_edu #microbit

Started a new hobby with some work colleagues. Some good learning.
