How good are these?
Today in our Y2 computing elective, we progressed our exploration of @scratch. With the use of the fantastic @makeymakey boards, we created musical instruments. I love the drum sticks. @JaninePavlisDT & @sannah71 you’ll be proud!

Thank you so much for having me!
In the episode, I take the time to discuss creativity across the curriculum but also it’s place within #computing. Also, how Computational Thinking and @mres work can provide a framework for creative thinking.

@SIMMSPriEnglish a future collaboration?!
Find out about research to integrate programming and storytelling in the primary classroom.
Integrated teaching like this makes computing more applicable and relevant for learners, but there are practical aspects to take into account: rpf.io/blog-pcpls

Some of of first year BA @TeachStMarys students getting excited about creating their stop motion animations!
In this module we are exploring how to use a range of devices to create a range of digital artefacts.
One of our lecturers, @smlovatt is a #MicrobitChampion for this year!
We will be showcasing the micro:bit in our lectures as well as reacting out to our partnership schools.
🎉Congratulations to our new #MicrobitChampions 2023 who are joining us on our mission to inspire every child to create their best digital future💪. We'll be kicking off with an online global meet-up (x2) today & we can't wait to meet you all & get started!
