@mrsb_cs_ I teach at an 100% EAL int school. Lighten the cog load with small amounts of text, LOTS of images, using a consistent format for content - I use blank KOs with headers so they can focus on the learning. Also allow students to translate key terms & keep a glossary in books!

@CSMissThomas1 @RcCuthberts I had to come back to this tweet as I adapted the human computer with my Y10s and they loved it! Thank you for a great idea.

Back to my usual end of year favourite @idea_award and my KS3 students are loving it! Leaving me plenty of time to work on CAGs

[Miss Doherty @MissDoherty7]

@teknoteacher Yes absolutely ☺️

Really miss doing displays ATM - so here is my door display! Individual “posts” are changed as we progress through topics, and each post has a prompt question!

@OfficialPLT_CS Hi my order was due to be delivered yesterday and there have been no tracking updates. Any help would be appreciated ☺️

Been an odd few days - it’s definitely something different to join a new school via Zoom! My last day of quarantine today so back to school offically tomorrow!

@missaw_cs My favourite lessons for PS is building a “burger” - every layer of the burger teaches a different tool. E.g. Shape tool for the bun. Burn tool to add grill marks to the patty. Kids love it!

@DriscollCs Definitely something I’d like to develop in my classroom - thank you for the inspiration! ✨

Other #Computing teachers - what’s your thoughts on this article? I think a strong CT background is extremely important - With KS3 groups, I spend more time problem solving than programming. https://t.co/ky3IUsMEB8

Also - looking a (pretty) teacher planner that doesn’t have “Mon-Fri” as we teach Sunday through Thursday, but can’t seem to find one! If anyone can point me in the right direction i’d be delighted #edutwitter

Would really like to start reading more educational books now we’re onto our last week of school! Any recommendations?

[Miss Doherty @MissDoherty7]

Popped onto my friend Jenna (thelifeofteaching_ on Insta)’s live tonight to talk a little about doing your NQT year in Doha! Give it a watch ☺️https://t.co/459JsDH50p

My Y7 classes have been loving @idea_award for distance learning. I supplement with a weekly quiz on the badges assigned - normally @GetKahoot or @quizizz Anyone else using iDEA during this time?
