Children’s Minister @NatalieDon_ visited @KirkhillPS to see how spatial learning resources support classrooms as part of @UofGlasgow’s STEM Space pilot, co funded by @ScotGov and the @TurnerKirkTrust. Spatial learning boosts maths and STEM. ➡️bit.ly/468A5Ov

A new ddd scenario from this evening’s tutorial. Starting very soon.

Really good problem solving opportunity when using a mix of flier and clear. What is the logical explanation for what can been seen. Helps learners form strong understanding of element layout.

How should learners explain the behaviour of the blocks when float is applied?

Using the pool analogy to explain the behaviours of block elements and inline elements.

Intriguing analogy here to explain how the CSS float property affects HTML elements!

Comprehensive testing is important in wdd but also in ddd and sdd. A good opportunity to reinforce this important skill.

Example of good practice in generating evidence of test input validation

Excellent tips about ensuring design of forms makes clear the validation that is required.

This evening in session 2 the tutor team is starting with input validation for html forms.

Generative AI can be used to create question contexts. Potentially a useful timesaver.

Breakpoints can be very useful in generating evidence at project time for advanced higher. Great to know!

We are sharing ideas for ide alternatives.

Chatting about rubber duck debugging! Great to share tips like this!

Feedback from real classroom experience is a great start for deeper discussion

Some algorithms place a higher cognitive load on learners. Good to recognise this when presenting code to learners.

STACS upskilling tutors are reviewing use of trace tables in this evening’s session.

Great new mnemonic to help standard algorithms at higher!

Sdd session is digging into standard algorithms this evening. Great to have CS teachers in the room at the very start of term.
