This is what I’ve been looking for in terms of the order of teaching programming

If you were teaching programming to school age students, where would you introduce the concept of sub programs?

Not the same style of game, but easy enough to pick up and put down - Slay the Spire

Haven’t started it yet, but how was the difficulty compared to week 1 last year?

GCSE computer science teachers, how do you structure lessons around teaching the CPU, particularly the registers and other components? Struggling to hold students’ attention!

This is going to be such a powerful tool. The audio overview functionality is really natural sounding. Turning this into β€˜podcasts’ for topics may be really helpful for students wishing to self-study.

I’d like to hear experts talk about balancing books vs computers for our subject. Some schools prefer everything done on a device and for a subject where the exam can still be on paper that doesn’t make sense to me! (That may not be a whole talks worth of content though)

One of the best interactive resources available for Computer Science

No problem. It sure if I have to do anything to allow DMs on Bluesky though!

My school (and my department) does. I don’t teach it but could try and answer any questions?
