With World Book Day next week. Here's a reading list of books for budding computer scientists.
Excel format and printed posters (UK) available here: www.mrlaulearning.com/2022/10/book...
Various sources for PNGs and SVGs including: deviant art, pixabay, the noun project and (somewhat reluctantly) Google images!
In the hospital school, over the last 2 years, we have used Cricut machines to teach graphic design .
Here's what they have designed and made during their stay in hospital.
The way we teach computing keeps evolving.
We've all asked pupils to teach a peer. How about asking a pupil to teach an AI?
Pupils who taught ChatGPT how to program achieved:
- Better test scores
- Improved code readability & clarity
- More confidence & stronger problem-solving skills
No impact on code correctness

The fascinating practice of pointing and calling: blog.gembaacademy.com/2020/05/11/t... Amusing thought, could this work in the classroom?! It’s similar to narrating the positive I guess.
If you want to follow along with my session at #BCLC24, here's the link to the slides.

I feel as though I do not do enough for public engagement in CS as most of my content is aimed at CS teachers and students. However, if you feel differently feel free to add.
That’s a beautiful Venn Diagram. Did you make that yourself?
How do you know when the momentum is shifting in education?
When influential teachers and leaders start to talk about engagement, motivation, connection, belonging and belief.
What have hormones got to do with learning?

Looking forward to hearing more about this.
Absolutely 500 credits a month!!! Unbelievable.
Screenshot of ChatGPT used for transcribing handwritten notes. The ChatGPT app is open with a photo of notes, and the response from ChatGPT reads: “Here is the transcription of the handwritten margin notes: "There's a useful analogy for Al in here. As origami, where everything that happens is an expression of paper, in Al everything..." The rest of the notes seem incomplete or partially obscured. Let me know if you'd like help interpreting this further!”
Treat AI like it’s software… because it is. Transcription, coding, document processing, image recognition etc. are all useful for educators. I’ll post this week about using AI as software and not treating it like a human. #artificialintelligence #aieducation #aiedu #aiined #aiinedu
Lovely AI generated image, sending you strength through the mock season.
Great to get some insights on the latest developments in AI and how AI can be used in education @infosys.bsky.social @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social
How can AI support teaching and learning?
Here's a sneak preview of a chapter from the second edition of Teaching Computing in Secondary Schools.
NotebookLM has summarised my excerpt and re-presented it as a podcast!
Have a listen and let me know what you think: on.soundcloud.com/L5baBigjKyVE...
Fascinating podcast on the role of AI in the classroom. Jane Waite proposes possible frameworks for teaching AI podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h... via @bengarside.com
If you're a teacher who has never used Chat GPT but want to know how to get started. Here is an excellent guide: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUJf...
Here's a compelling argument for a "GCSE Computing" .

Last one. There's a decent correlation between the quality of the book covers and the quality of the work in the books!
More exercise books from 2014...
10 year flashback to 2014. As a new HOD, I asked my students to decorate their books as an optional homework.
Here are the best ones. A thread. 🧵

I haven’t seen a static list for a while, but I enjoy Alfred Thompson’s blog: blog.acthompson.net
I sometimes still write at mrlaulearning.com but currently drafting the second edition of my book so I’m blogging less
