Interesting #AlevelResults - we had a mix of wins & some losses for Computer Science.

Student twitter isn't the only twitter that can make memes.

Here's my summary of the Ofsted Computing Research Review released on Monday.

A written summary (9-min read) and PDF of the graphic can be found at https://t.co/aFVH9AcPlp

I hope it's useful! #edublogshare

Should classroom management software be mandatory in school Computer rooms?

[Mr Kilobit @mrkilobit]

@pddring Perhaps not the best time of year to ask 😂

[Mr Kilobit @mrkilobit]

Should NEA coursework still be a part of Computing A Levels?

[Mr Kilobit @mrkilobit]

@MrAColley Agreed. Still some unknowns when determine appropriate projects but when passionate students really fly with it, it is great to see!

[Mr Kilobit @mrkilobit]

@lfmCompSci Hadn't considered the practical endorsements as an alternative, that might be better...

[Mr Kilobit @mrkilobit]

Yes definitely tell them about the types of cyber attacks, mitigations, and ethical concerns. But there's been a lack of practical elements which would make it far more engaging.

[Mr Kilobit @mrkilobit]

I've often been worried about what practical skills I can and can't discuss when students ask me to teach them to hack.

Loving the latest @HelloWorld_Edu edition on Cyber Security

[Mr Kilobit @mrkilobit]

Thinking about whether KS3 python assessments should be more practical, rather than just bug hunting and tracing values.🤔

[Mr Kilobit @mrkilobit]

Medium term planning:

[Mr Kilobit @mrkilobit]

Perhaps this is normal but I regularly have to cut units of work down and sometimes even find my classes being double booked.

[Mr Kilobit @mrkilobit]

Curious to know, how many lessons are allocated per week for teaching KS3 Computing for Year 7s?

[System32comics_Advanced @System32comicsA]

Sharing is caring!

[System32comics_Advanced @System32comicsA]

Mom can we get an if statement?

[Mr Kilobit @mrkilobit]

I hope everyone has a restful half term (we certainly need it!)
