EduBlocks

🚨 New Certification! 🚨 We're excited to launch our very first certification, Teaching Python Programming with EduBlocks! Learn everything you need to know about adopting EduBlocks within your own classroom from the team that built it. Available now: learning.anaconda.cloud/page/teach-pyt…

This week is #NationalCodingWeek Secondary teachers! Are you interested in some programming related CPD? Join this Transition from Blocks to Text with EduBlocks meeting 📆19th September 🕒4 - 5pm 🔗hubs.ly/Q02NYFpq0 #ProgrammingEducation #edutwitter #CSEducation

@Faith_Year6 used Python instructions to create 2D shapes. We then introduced loops to simplify our code, which then allowed us to create patterns. @edu_blocks #faithcomputing @MGLWorldNews

We’re thrilled to invite you to the upcoming @CompAtSch community meeting, Transition from Blocks to Text with @edu_blocks on Thursday, 19 Sep 2024 at 4pm The session will focus on learning the basics of EduBlocks from @all_about_code computingatschool.org.uk/events/2024/se…

Hey Allen! We are using @edu_blocks It allows teachers to create classroom and assignments. Children can login with their school MS or Google accounts & they can access Edublocks at home too. Their work is auto saved as they go. I use it with GCSE - there is python block coding too for those that need a bit more support.

@MrLovellComp @edu_blocks Genius! @MrLovellComp Just went through my planning for inputs, outputs and variables and using @edu_blocks is just so beautiful. Thank you so much for the recommendation. #GameChanger Should have made greater use of @edu_blocks since I first saw the platform back in 2020...

🚨New Course! 🚨 We're excited to launch our very first self-led course, Rock, Paper, Scissors! Written by @LessonHacker 🪨📰✂️ Learn key concepts like input, output, logic, and iteration for unpredictable and interactive gameplay Available for free: app.edublocks.org/learn

@shirleycrossley Oops, well that wasn’t intentional but definitely a side effect of using a random generator 🙈. We’ll work on filtering out these variations of codes so it doesn’t happen in the future 🙂.

I would like to thank @edu_blocks for generating the class code for one of the classrooms today. It made my year 8s day 🤣🤣 #FlusteredTeacher #StillLaughing

We can't wait for #PyCon24 next week! 🐍 💚 Our team will be presenting throughout the week on @pyscript_com , @PyBeeWare , @Panel_org , & more! In between sessions, swing by booth #605 to meet the team & learn more about how @Anacondainc supports the #Python community.

@arooneycompsci Glad to hear that you like it! The best way is to use the "Clone Assignment" feature when you go to create an assignment in the new classroom.

So is it just me that didn't realise the @microbit_edu LEDs were adjustable per-pixel? 😲 Playing around with Python via @edu_blocks. Hadn't noticed this before 🤦‍♂️

@all_about_code @markfromlondon Thank you @all_about_code and @markfromlondon from proving once again why I absolutely ♥️ this platform. Within minutes of me asking about alternatives for teaching Python, have this now ready to support students who are struggling and less than a month away from paper 1...

@atto83 We've recently gained the capability to do so behind the scenes and it's on our list of things to add for users short-term, so hope to have something to share soon!

@edu_blocks Will you be adding the ability to read from/write to text files on edublocks? Currently looking for alternatives to replit. Thanks.

@edu_blocks @HelloWorld_Edu @eslweb We have used the classroom functionality in @edublocks, its great! Set assignments, assess/give feedback to pupil work all from inside the classroom tool 😀

@AshfoldComp @HelloWorld_Edu @eslweb @EduBlocks We're really glad you like it! 😁

We're featured in the latest @HelloWorld_Edu magazine, Issue 23! Learn more about our free classrooms functionality on pages 68-69 and how it can help you deliver coding lessons to your students. Thank you to @eslweb for the article! raspberrypi.org//hello-world/i…

@stjohscomp Great work everyone! 🐍🐢

2H and 2E are starting their Python journeys this week, using @edu_blocks to drawpatterns with the 🐢

Great way to end the half term with @Y6StocktonWood. The class were introduced to Python and loved experimenting drawing different shapes and making their code more efficient by adding loops! #stocktonwoodcomputing @edu_blocks
