@rob_leeman@caschat_uk@sneekylinux A5: #caschat Absolutely as @rob_leeman says. Devoting some time especially in #PrimaryComputing to really delve into encouraging thinking about how the hardware works. The Y3 classes I taught emulated a keyboard last week and realised how quickly a keyboard functions.
@chris_swan @caschat_uk@sneekylinux A3 - all good thanks, hope you are too, physical computing can be a steep(ish) learning curve but the rewards outweigh the effort in terms of engagement, check this out https://t.co/btnqYYUUIA #caschat
@caschat_uk A5 - it helps to see the electronics as just part of the process, gathering and sampling data that can be dealt with computationally with a real world output. This helps drawing together the various STEM elements involved in psychical computing #caschat
@caschat_uk@sneekylinux A5 - by teaching CS using physical computing, m;bits, pis, Arduinos, it's all good. Make CS into a problem solving exercise looking at Input, Process, Output through an IoT lens, so much potential for engaging lessons #caschat
@caschat_uk A4 - I did a 3D project with a class a few years ago but it takes sooooo long to print a class set of anything it made it hard to keep them engaged and took way too much time #caschat
A2: #caschat And this is why I ♥️ social media. For the camaraderie and ideas. Thank you so much @rcoultart@sneekylinux and @amylouwelsh for sharing these fantastic ideas. I'm going to try to come along to learn more about @tinkercad
@pknighton67@caschat_uk@sneekylinux I have a set of 9 Arduino IoT projects coming out in a couple weeks, with a little sprinkling of ML as well! Check them out on https://t.co/MY1HS2Whm3 #caschat
@caschat_uk@sneekylinux Perfect timing as my new course on Physical Computing has just launched on EdX, its free with a paid for certification route. Its actually 4 courses in a programme, check it out: https://t.co/KLbJl7T0QD #caschat#physicalcomputing
@caschat_uk@sneekylinux Q2 the lockdown has meant I have done loads of online sessions on physical computing on micro:bit in UK and US with colleagues #caschat#csta loads of fun projects here https://t.co/MY1HS2Whm3
@caschat_uk If anyone fancies a deep dive into Physical Computing my new course is just open on EdX, its free with a paid certification if you like that sort of thing... https://t.co/KLbJl7T0QD
@PiVangelist@caschat_uk If you like ableton check out Beardyman, some inspirational use of tech in music and live streaming https://t.co/HvIhUhFkNr #caschat
@pknighton67@caschat_uk@sneekylinux When I was teaching I used music to show the effects of compression, do it live and show how it changes the music. Makes it very real. #caschat
