What a fab venue for Computing Leaders CPD today with the awesome @philwickins.bsky.social very sad that it’s the end of an era as the government have cut funding for any more in person courses. Don’t be a stranger Mr Wikins

So this may be the last face to face CPD I run for the NCCE 😢 If you are near Newbury and are able to get to Shaw House for the day on Tuesday Feb 25th, I'm facilitating 'Leading Primary Computing Module 3' @wearecomputing.bsky.social Message me if you want to come!

If you are a primary school teacher affected by the closure of the computing hubs and discontinuation of free live CPD courses and other supportive resources, please take a minute to have a look at this: rundontwalk.co.uk/2025/02/11/c... - Please re-post!

For those of you who may not already know, I've done a bit of DJing in my time! Someone persuaded me to come out of retirement, dust off the vinyl and play an online set at the Big Christmas Big Beat Party. If you like Fatboy Slim kinda music, check me out 12:30 the 22nd! www.twitch.tv/crashpartyuk

@cashforkids.bsky.social We organise a classic car 'parade' to the drop off warehouse every year and donate gifts we've gathered, but there doesn't seem to be a warehouse address this year, and don't fancy just driving to a Tesco to drop in a box! Can you let me know where the warehouse is?

Two of my most favourite people: @janewaite.bsky.social and @duckstar.bsky.social discussing neural network large language model generative artificial intelligence application problems... This is how Computer Scientists play with their food! #BCLC24 @wearecomputing.bsky.social

Today in Computing, Y2 finished up their unit on photography with some advanced editing using the MarkUp tools. We took every day objects and turned them into something else! As you can see, the children were very creative. Well done Y2! @threebridgessch.bsky.social
