I had the best morning with p1 @StNinians_PS We work so hard to promote computing science for everyone, it is so wonderful when our littlest learners lead & can talk about instructions, patterns, sequences, algorithms & loops 🥰 @stacshq @SACTechDigital @southayrshire

Calling #TeamMIEEScotland we are having a catch up call tonight at 6.30-7.30 Details in the @MicrosoftTeams Any problems reach out to @Sfm36 @RosJLee or me ☺️ We are talking @Bett_show #AIinEdu & guest speakers from @KamiApp

Brilliant day spent @UniWestScotland speaking to BA Ed 1 students about digital technologies, storytelling, interactive learning & of course I got to share tools like @MicrosoftEDU dictate, immersive reader & my favourite @ThingLink_EDU

It took less than 2 seconds to be surrounded by this wee bunch who were super keen to play with Glow & Go Bot from tts-group.co.uk So great to see them help each other, talk about what they were seeing & hearing as they explored all the buttons & modes 🥰 @stacshq.bsky.social

Why do I love this wee Glow and Go Bot from tts-group.co.uk ? It’s the lights, sounds, textures, movements, it’s the modes, it’s brilliant for supporting little learners in language, numeracy, counting, direction, and getting started with coding & sequences 🥰 @stacshq

It’s been a very exciting day 😃👇a parcel has arrived from tts-group.co.uk #GlowAndGoBot 🥰 @stacshq

Schools can register their interest below. #ClosingTheGenderGap

I’ve been having a #WeePonder about the accelerometer on a @microbit_edu 🤔 can I attach it to my dogs collar and somehow make it waterproof to see how fast she runs 🤔 send me your top tips/suggestions ☺️👍

A tremendous day @southayrshire Primary Inservice Conference 4 sessions on my favourite tool @ThingLink_EDU 🥰 can’t wait to see what everyone creates 👍

Day 1 @Bett_show has been super busy connecting with friends old & new, so many fantastic conversations (more posts on that later) but thought I’d share my #MetAtBETT2025 @wakelet collection 🥰 can’t possibly tag everyone here but you know who you are 🫶🏼🤗 wakelet.com/wake/tycjQLK...

So good to hear @kirsteensteven talk about #AssistiveTechnology @Bett_show this morning - small actions can have BIG impacts on learners - from headphones to Immersive Reader and everything in between and beyond @CALLScotland

Walked into my hotel and 👇🙌 so good to see you in person again @GudrunEdhofer 🥰 and lovely to meet Agné & Mr K A mini international chat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇦🇹 🇱🇹 ☺️ #MetAtBETT @Bett_show

It’s time!!!!! What time??? @Bett_show time 🥰 drive ☑️ flight next ✈️

Busy day today getting all sorts of kit ready to go out to schools from the digital lending library including some eye surgery for Marty the Robot #DiscoEyes

Happy Sunday Bluesky pals, it’s 2025 and it’s been months but I really miss Flip/Flipgrid 😢 what’s everyone else using? #MIEExpert #TeamMIEEScotland

Finished adding to adventure 1 of my adventure @wakelet & published ☺️https://wakelet.com/wake/0bmToMqBNDeurv0aspNAZ here's to many more adventures ☺️

Returned from today’s adventure with a new family member 🥰 meet Fiadh, a whirlwind of chaos 🥰

The first adventure is underway 😃 heading south with my sister, it’s gie windy 🌬️ More news soon ☺️

here is it - the adventure @wakelet all ready for 1st January 2025 - here's to adventures big and small 🔎

I’ve been having a #WeePonder about recording my adventures throughout the year 😃 🤔👇 I wonder how many adventures I will have & record in @wakelet in 2025 🤔 Does anyone else record their adventures? 🤔

Hey Scottish teacher pals 👋 hands up who loves @microbit_edu ? Why not apply to become a microbit.org/champions/ 🥰 applications open until 24th Jan 😃 come join us #MicrobitChampion

Another @dressCodeHQ poster went off to it’s forever home @AllowayPrimary today ☺️ @stacshq #ChooseComputingScience

Quick, quick follow, tag, repost this is a magical app which brings stories to life and will fill your heart with joy 🥰 @noveleffect.bsky.social

I’ve been having a #WeePonder about #ReadingCoach after hearing from @anoopadte at the #MIEExpert call last night. I tried my best but the Scottish accent strikes again - also wondered if it was possible to simplify the stories? So that learners could use phonics to decode 🤔

Over the moon to be back for another year as #MIEEFellow #TeamMIEEScotland - the A team are back @rosjlee.bsky.social & Sarah Clark ☺️

Set myself a wee @microbit_edu challenge to code in JavaScript 🤯 thanks @Kitronik inventors kit ☺️👏 Find the secret compass heading ☺️ (Scuse the nails, caught my thing between a box and a metal bar 😬 ouch)

It’s been a quieter @wakelet.bsky.social year for me but still in top 1% 🥰

Gym session today - for body mind and soul - Best word shared this morning - Floccinaucinihilipilification 😂 Most scandalous statement - a penguin biscuit is actually a bourbon biscuit 😳 I need someone to confirm or deny this 🤪

My colleagues across my local authority have been having a #WeePonder about #ReflectApp @grelad @mtholfsen We’d love to check in with our students in @MicrosoftTeams 🤔 is there any way to do this? #MIEExpert #TeamMIEEScotland
