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.
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/…
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.

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.
