Interesting comparison. "focus on pedagogy first, technology second, if appropriate" - the key to pragmatic use of technology in education. #EdTech supporting #pedagogy (#PedTech). Ensuring #SAMR modification and redefinition not just for the sake of it.

Hmm, sounds interesting. A chance to try out two products on my '#Edtech to investigate' list at the same time!

Our science says that for this party to be safe, you'll need to move it to a school building. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Great ideas for teaching variables through dry running in this week's @cs4fn @cas_london_crc live lecture. Also a nice alternative for making learning memorable while you can't get real students up at the front using #lego mini-figures instead. teachinglondoncomputing.org/…

Images created using 100 Rubiks' Cubes as oversized pixels. Some unexpected Turing at the Edinburgh Festival watching the excellent @performingnerd

argh meh grrrr oooo ewww hmph @sciencemuseum #TopSecret

Finally got round to testing @microbit_edu wireless data logging using the Plotter in Mu. 'Dad v Kids' LEGO cart race as a trial for @BLOODHOUND_Edu #rftl timing.

#FakeNews #Bett2019

First @Bett_show keynote of the day: @mres Lifelong Kindergarten - Cultivating creativity through projects, passion, peers and play #Bett2019

This was a great event last year. Sadly clashes with a parent's evening for me this year, but well worth it if you are free this Thursday evening.

Packed DLR or a bit of Learning by Making while rush hour runs its course? Really not that difficult a decision!

Great thread. Vegemite vs Marmite compared for use in electric circuits!

Bus countdown display rebooting after the O2 outage offers a glimpse into the technology inside.

Another Year 10 class starting to #codewithmu tomorrow so I made a cheat sheet. (Also as I finally discovered Undo/Redo hiding in the right click menu!) Let me know of any errors/omissions for use in a Mu 101 lesson @ntoll @tjguk - I'll upload once tested in tomorrow's class.

The very early stages of @FranKirby Football 2019 in @scratch 3! Encouraging coding by linking with a passion project. (Although this is actually a double passion project for my 10yo as she is a big Scratch fan too.)

Also the coolest playground equipment ever! Hopefully one day this will be the kind of #littleextras we'll be talking about all state schools being able to afford and inspire future generations of artists and scientists.
