Left school at 16 with little exams and no idea what I wanted to be/do worked in a variety of jobs and sectors. Now working in a sector I’ve got a real passion for as Learning Technologist with @MidDigiLearn, exam results aren’t everything #justbeyou #nowrongpath

@mrneil_CS @BeebotCo @CornbankPS They are programmed via the buttons on the top to move in directions aimed at younger learners. But you can buy pen holder robots that work with the BBC Micros (https://t.co/aNd5Jqojak) which could work better for secondary

A great session on Data Handling & Visualisation using #GoogleSheets (@GoogleForEdu) with P3/4 @MauricewoodPS. Pupil O even said “this is the best technology lesson ever!” I’ve got to admit watching P3/4 pupils using Spreadsheets and creating Charts was amazing #ILoveSpreadsheets
