@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

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@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

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@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

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@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

[Allen Tsui @TsuiAllen]

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

@MrWillisICT @moniquefranzsen @morewebber @caschat_uk @sneekylinux The do:your:bit activities are great for Primary Computing https://t.co/1ZTDCKmJvi #caschat

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@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

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@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

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@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

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@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

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@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

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@jameslea32 @caschat_uk @sneekylinux I had tons of fun playing with the new audio features on the V2 micro:bit https://t.co/CdvQiKmZrP #caschat

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@DdR333 @pknighton67 @caschat_uk @sneekylinux I really enjoyed playing with the makeymakey and making a banana keyboard #caschat

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@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

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@caschat_uk @sneekylinux Always a pleasure! #caschat

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@caschat_uk @sneekylinux I can feel a micro:bit project coming on... #caschat

[Rob Leeman @rob_leeman]

@caschat_uk @sneekylinux I would be a compressor head drummer (https://t.co/UWWgSGTANP) #caschat

Q5 Perhaps you are a local @CompAtSch community of teachers and could share physical kit between your schools. #CASChat
