no more repl.it for education....now what. What are other CS educators hoping to use moving forward (I'm panicking a bit about SEM 2) #onted #computerscience

Hard to know exactly what it’ll look like, but getting ideas ready for next year. Apparently if you soldier more, you do get better! #icd2o #ontariocodes @adafruit

@gkyfranzen I may also be teaching this “course”…quotes used cause it doesn’t still exist…?

Excited that I may be teaching 3 sections of this new programming course, Digital Technology and Innovations in the Changing World (ICD2O)! I love the challenge of teaching a new programming course! If anyone else is teaching this in Sept - let's connect! #ICD2O #Coding

April 22 & 23, 2023 he competes in Kanata at a Regional Bouldering event that may qualify him for the National Championship for Bouldering, also being held in Calgary. Bracebridge Teen Qualifies For Canadian National Championships muskoka411.com/bracebridge-te… #News #Muskoka #Bracebridge #Calgary

@ianmct @CANFIRST Good luck! Glad you made it safely

The line up has started @CANFIRST

Sorry for delay in response. I'm sure everyone is busy in their classrooms, lives, etc. Here is the code & wiring guide images. Its really simple code. The "magic numbers" - 400 & 700 - were determined via trial & error to increase sensitivity to range of materials in classroom.

Coding and then using our micro:bits as conductivity sensors to learn about insulators and conductors in #snc1w #tldsblearns @microbit_edu @InkSmith3D @infobml

@firekit @microbit_edu @InkSmith3D @infobml Micro:bit led screen + the display data on screen as graph provides some granulation, rather than a yes/no. Human hand was more conductive than paper, but less conductive than metal.

@ryan_psmith @microbit_edu @InkSmith3D @infobml Great idea 🌟I do this with Makey Makey but actually never thought about doing it with Microbits

Dipping our toes into coding in #SNC1W w/ Inputs & Outputs to intro use. Super grateful for @InkSmith3D climate action kits and @microbit_edu. Link to Coding Lab - bit.ly/codingLab1 #OntED @staoapso

Thinking of using @lisaannefloyd 's algebraic expressions and coding (outreach.tvolearn.com/teacher-resour…) idea and mixing it with Turtle Python for visualization and some tinkering to explore more of y=mx+b in #mth1w tomorrow. #ontariocodes #onted

@MsCowan123 @microbit_edu Extensions:…what other messages can you add to the code?…can you add an animation for the decision bubbling up to the surface?

Finally did coding that wasn't just "follow me" in #mth1w - we coded our names in turtle python! #onted #ontariocodes

Hahahahaha the government lawyer now talking about how asynchronous learning is bad for students because they are learning alone. Then why will @Sflecce only allow students to fulfil the mandatory 2 online credits in asynchronous courses???

Hey @tldsb if you are looking for a classroom or department that you’d like to pilot this with…🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

@GervzMike @PowerLrn Wow! Thanks Mike! Hope you are doing well - looks like you are up to some awesome stuff!!

So amazing! Anyone at #tldsblearns have their microbits still??? Check this out

JUST ONCE, I want to be part of a staff meeting where the agenda reads ‘Things We Are Removing From Teacher Plates.’ In my 24 years of teaching, I’ve NEVER been this exhausted.

Teacher: I feel so exhausted all the time Central Office: Have you tried yoga or running or meditation Let’s stop telling teachers to do yoga and meditate (UNLESS that’s what they want and choose to do). Instead, let’s advocate for making teaching a sustainable career!
