@GrumpyCompSci I can't reply directly (not part of the community) but we have these for microbit storage - they are excellent https://t.co/t3zpBHxuwL

@NiallHarbison Look how happy she looks sitting by the pool. What a remarkable turnaround - thank you for all of the work you do helping these dogs into a better life.

@TigWilliams I got the tip-off from @MrAColley at the big computing leadership conference in December, so passing on the thanks to Andy. It's a great site and provided a super term of after-school club activities for my students!

Does any of my Twitter teacher friends know a good Summer School (Boarding ideally) where I can apply as a Comp Sci teacher this summer?
Otherwise, could you retweet my post to help me reach out to more people?
I could do with some extra money this summer...
Thanks in advance!

@TsuiAllen @Replit Love this course from Dave @LessonHacker as do my students who I recommend it to too! Enjoy it too @TsuiAllen!

[MrsHitchings @LilliH99]

@pddring This looks brilliant! Thank you for sharing 😃

[MrsHitchings @LilliH99]

@MrOW_CS @tnmoc Ohh, glad the day went well. I am taking my Y7's there in May for a very similar set of workshops - even more excited about it now!

[MrsHitchings @LilliH99]

@Patymogio @BenGUpNorth Watch Mr Bates Vs The Postoffice too though Paty - that's the one that got everyone talking this year and kicked off the current turning point for justice for the sub-postmasters. It's a must-watch.

@csteachian @missionencode An action on my to do list is to see if I can reduce the gap between top and bottom screen so that the top screen is a little lower. Also, the actual computer is on the back of the bottom screen so more desk space too.

[MrsHitchings @LilliH99]

@missionencode - you recently asked if my students had any feedback on using your web site to independently progress their Pyton skills - they are really engaged and loving it! This is from a couple of my Y9's

[MrsHitchings @LilliH99]

@csteachian @missionencode The top screen is quite high so not good for lengthy sessions as it might give neck ache, but then that's not a major issue in lessons as they're not looking at them for that long. Its great for having worksheets / instructions on and using the bottom screen for running code etc

@advanced_ict Thanks for highlighting this document - a good find!

[MrsHitchings @LilliH99]

@Bett_show Oh no @Patymogio - how did we miss this???

[MrsHitchings @LilliH99]

@Patymogio @Bett_show

[MrsHitchings @LilliH99]

@MrOW_CS @TsuiAllen Would definitely be interested in hearing how you get on?

[MrsHitchings @LilliH99]

@BenGUpNorth @Bett_show @GoogleForEdu @RaspberryPi_org Will come find you tomorrow to say hello! Delivered the first lesson of Experience AI today and it was very well received 😃

[MrsHitchings @LilliH99]

@MrOW_CS @TsuiAllen Thanks - that's all I can see too from Lego, but that looks like it will appeal to younger years more than secondary. I'm going to look at VEX robots at BETT tomorrow as an alternative. Shame about Mindstorms 😔

[MrsHitchings @LilliH99]

@Patymogio @MLforKids @DigSchoolhouse I love ML4Kids!! Lucky you getting to great Dale speak about it

[MrsHitchings @LilliH99]

@MrOW_CS @TsuiAllen @SmallpeiceTrust I was disappointed to learn that they have discontinued the Lego Mindstorm robots as I'd planned to get some for a KS3 robotics club. Was there a mention of anything new in the pipeline in that space?
