@SW_Help Currently stuck at SOA, I have an advance ticket that says SWR only - can I use my ticket on the CrossCountry due to the delay?

Those crazy people at @quizizz (well, @jneale) are letting me loose on their stand at BETT tomorrow! Come and join in a lesson at 11am with me 🙂

@aecrxxs Come join us in the other place (Bluesky), the water’s lovely x

@clcsimon @CompAtSch @quizizz Nice! We use Google Forms for slightly more formal stuff but I like the different game modes on Quizizz and the lesson feature is really good for delivering + assessing as you go #caschat

@advanced_ict @CompAtSch Given some of the boys in our classes I totally understand 😂 #caschat

[Ollie @MrOW_CS]

@CompAtSch A4 Haven’t used it an awful lot yet but I’ve had success using it to rewrite an article (and comprehension questions) to a particular reading age! #caschat

@MrsMounsey @clcsimon @CompAtSch This is cool, I’m having to do similar with our Y9 coding unit this half term as lots of the lower attaining students are struggling. #caschat

[Ollie @MrOW_CS]

@CompAtSch If the latter, I’ve used @quizizz a lot to work out which topics are generally in need of work and have tailored more lessons to that with extra time spent with the ones who need it #caschat

[Ollie @MrOW_CS]

@CompAtSch A3 does this mean feedback on the lessons or giving them feedback? If the former, I regularly ask students for feedback on what works and what doesn’t while also getting them to self assess their learning #caschat

@CompAtSch A2 Taking part in girl-only events like Ada Lovelace day at RAL and the CyberFirst competition have really helped get girls interested - then complementing this with lots of opportunities for all in school. That and just praising the good work they do! #caschat

@clcsimon @CompAtSch Evening! If I wasn’t teaching (which was the goal anyway!) I wanted to play the Phantom of the Opera on stage. One day…

Shouldn’t have been a penalty, Max needs to stop being allowed to shove anyone off who tries to overtake him. #f1

CS teacher followers: We're hoping to join a student simracing league but need to source computers! Any recommendations on going about it with hardly any budget?!

@aecrxxs When you come home I’m buying you a Lego John Deere

[Ollie @MrOW_CS]

@wbuxtonofficial Still waiting for the sabbatical to end!

[Ollie @MrOW_CS]

@legsidelizzy Who could possibly have expected this to happen?! Hope the food’s good for you up there at least
