🐻‍❄️ TEACHERS! For @UN #WildlifeDay you can work on Global Goals to show support for conservation efforts🐢.
🆓 We have micro:bit PROJECTS & LESSONS from @TheWorldsLesson for free over on the do your :bit section of the website:

I was particularly impressed by the differences in designs, especially the groups who worked on solving the challenges of farming in drought affected areas by designing a water conserving, self irrigating system. All coded and designed independently. Agency and empowerment!

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

I'm wowed by my Y5's future farms. Following #DesignThinking principles stds designed prototypes for their vertical farm concept to solve HK's over reliance on importing food. Y5 leveraged @elecfreaks water sensors and @microbit_edu to drive their designs #makered #edtech

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

@elecfreaks Wukong Board. Amazing kit!

[21st Century Learning @21cli]

We have over 90 presentations from innovative presenters from around the world. Join us next week in #HongKong #21CLHK https://t.co/AHflrEQwbS

@Mr_ODonovan @stulowe80 @microbit_edu @elecfreaks The best board we have found is the @elecfreaks Wukong. It comes with a chargeable lithium battery and can run multiple servos and LEDs. The Sensor:bit is also pretty good as you can run the board though a USB which gives the micro:bit more consistent power for the servos.

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

Y6 students wrapped up their scientific inquiry by creating an automata. Powered by @microbit_edu and bringing the main concepts of Shackleton's 🚢 & Darwin's 🌿 explorations to life! Featuring a continuous servo and neopixels,🌟 #STEM #makered

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

@mbfxc @JaimeDonally @globalmaker Thank you for the positive feedback. We would love to be part of @globalmaker

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

@CodeJoyEdu @microbit_edu We mostly used @Elecfreaks Octopus:bit & Sensor:bit.
These work well if the batteries are fresh or plugged into a USB hub.
For consistent and reliable power we used @elecfreaks Wukong as it has its own rechargeable lithium battery. Best choice for bigger projects.

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

@WhyMaker @microbit_edu The project was really just to introduce safely using glue guns and craft knives, but I wanted to make it meaningful. It's the first time they have used servos so I'd hope they would see potential for next time.

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

@gjrasgado We used Playht to create the audio file from our monologue write up. Then we used Vidnoz to create the avatar.

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

🚀Summative Assessment: Y5 inquired into a chosen pioneer, crafting a biography they later transformed into monologue for a realistic AI avatar.

Language use is not only rich but sophisticated.👏 Ethical considerations strongly explored through information literacy. #edtech

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

🎉 Thrilled to announce that I'll be speaking at @EduFestThailand🇹🇭Dive into the exciting world of leveraging AI to enhance curriculum planning and assessment. Discover how AI's vast knowledge of best pedagogical practices can revolutionise your practice. #EducationFest

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

@microbit_edu Certainly did @microbit_edu. Luckily all of our Micro:bit astronauts survived and were returned safely

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

🚀 To experience the challenges faced by early space pioneers and innovators, Y5 designed & launched @microbit_edu rockets & returned them safely.

Overcoming drag & gravity, rockets achieved 4g acceleration. Ss then reflected on the attributes needed to be a successful pioneer.

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

@HendrickseEDU @microbit_edu We found a launcher on https://t.co/DjNh6WzZAa and just hooked up an electronic bike pump to get a consistent pressure.

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

Although weather conditions prevented the perfect launch, the sense of Ss success was evident from their reaction, honest reflections and powerful insights #Innovation #STEMeducation

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

Such a fantastic collection of current #AI edu resources. Always a good point of reference from @desertclimber, who knows best!

[Dalton Flanagan(he/him) @desertclimber]

I am excited to share #AI Resources for Educators.

I also have safe use guidelines for text generation.

I also have safe use guidelines for image generation.

Finally, a prompt repository - a collaborative space.

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

@mrkpyp @EdTech_ISF The new features on @canva have changed the game. Greta way to introduce them in such a meaningful way.

[Mr. Liam M @Liamfmurphy]

@PeterMarshman @dtangred @digitallcharity @microbit_edu Exactly the resources I was looking for, but I'm in GMT+8.
