I love it when my pupils share cool @Replit features with me! Today it's the history playback feature. In their words:
"If you realise late that you've messed up your code, just rewind your work and restore" π

Computing Science faces a number of challenges. One is the differences of access to educational software which has an impact on the experiences pupils receive across each council.

Ain't that the truth. How useful would it be to use the experience of computing professionals to make if IT decisions. Fingers crossed for a period of enlightenment...

As the United States moves to make computer science part of the core curriculum, other countries are doing the same thing. In Africa, Kenya leads the effort to make CS part of the curriculum in primary and secondary schools.

"A whoβs who of CEOs is begging every school to teach computer science." Including @tim_cook, @JeffBezos, @BillGates, and other prominent figures in technology.
In Scotland Computing Science is not yet a core subject at schools.

The "fear" of returning to school after holidays or on a Sunday night are not because of teaching. We love working with young people and colleagues. It's the "fear" of knowing from moment one how relentless the job is for the next few months 1/6

Once young women do choose computing they generally outperform their male counterparts (new report by @BCS). However, girls are now outnumbered six to one by boys across computer science classes. bcs.org/articles-opinion-and⦠@adascot, @ScullionToni

Dear @ScotGovEdu @KateForbesMSP @jamiehepburn @S_A_Somerville
Please help! For Scotland to become a digital nation we need to nurture, encourage and inspire the next generation of tech talent. This starts at schools! Serious intervention is needed to #SaveComputingScience

Anything other than 3 and we are writing the death nail for Computing Science. We build enthusiasm through face to face teaching from dedicated hard working specialist teachers. We develop imaginative lessons from primary and leave digital skills as a responsibility for all.
