Ex Physics teacher and now hub lead providing science CPD for Bucks, West Herts, East Berks Science Teachers and Technicians. Passionate about helping the Teaching and Learning of science in my region to be the best that it can be.
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
The Big Computing Leadership Conference '24 wrap up! @wearecomputing.bsky.social @milesberry.net @janewaite.bsky.social @httcs.online @mwimpennys.bsky.social @duckstar.bsky.social @petermarshman.bsky.social @sciencehub.bsky.social @beccip.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWRS...

Happy New year everyone!
We are running a remote primary science network meeting on 13th Jan 3.45-4.45 packed with ideas and inspiration. You are welcome to join us. (Mainly for teachers in Bucks, West Herts, and East Berks). Book here: tincture.com/ycxszwcx
Free CPD day at Shaw House, Newbury, Feb 25; I'll be delivering the new Leading Primary Computing Module 3 course! Adaptive & inclusive teaching (SEND), budget and funding, key stage transition, pupil work examples ncce.stem.org.uk/cpd/538559/l... @wearecomputing.bsky.social @sciencehub.bsky.social
Great day at #BCLC24 today. Looking forward to trying out some new ideas.
Had a great day at the #BCLC24 in Oxford. Some great networking done and a lot to think about for the future of computer science including Anthropomorphisation! My new favourite word!!!
Developing Adaptive Expertise
Professors Rob Coe and Stuart Kime, in a previously released webinar, discussed the concepts of “routine expertise” and “adaptive expertise”.

Three key takeaways from the brilliant @janewaite.bsky.social at #BCLC24 …
1. DEANTHROPOMORPHISE Ai
2. Choose your images to represent Ai carefully
3. Clean up the language you use to talk about Ai
Great starting point on this journey to teach about Ai in the classroom #EduSky #TeamCompSci
Thank you Simon Peyton-Jones for a brilliant and inspiring keynote at #BCLC24 this week. 🤗 #EduSky #TeamCompSci
Your game of Nim totally lost me! Here’s the link to the version I play with Primary, courtesy of the fab NRICH website: nrich.maths.org/problems/nim-7
What a great team! Thank you all for a fabulous and inspiring day #BCLC24
Finally home after my first BCLC at Oxford Brookes. Looking forward to next year and the CAS conference #bclc24
I think it still matters, but in a different way. Programming education should be more than ever about problem solving, criticality and creativity. I spoke a little about this in my talk yesterday: youtu.be/GQbZNxka-tA?... #BCLC24
Congratulations 👏 and love the blog… happy memories of WiPSCE 2023 which shared yesterday with @mracolley.bsky.social at #BCLC24 🤗
Spent the day at the #BCLC24 in Oxford. A very high quality CPD full of all aspects of Computing subject leadership! Well done to all those involved! Look forward to next year’s!
Already been inspired by the brilliant Simon Peyton Jones' opening address.
My session on developing your department, building effective relationships with your SLT link and planning quality CPD programme is in room FG11 at 10.25. #TeamCompSci #BCLC24

#Computing #Primary #Secondary
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
Now being chauffeured home by the rather fabulous @mraharrison.bsky.social
The topic for the playlist is famous songs in 3/4 time. Any suggestions #TeamCompSci ?
#BCLC24
I delivered a talk on KS4 Computing for All - do you "gatekeep" Computer Science? Please don't!

Very much enjoyed the informative and entertaining @philwickins.bsky.social talking about Adaptive Teaching #BCLC24
Now hearing from @compscitsui.bsky.social and @rcoultart.bsky.social about how to support the computing foundations in EYFS. #BCLC24
Very pleased to be at the Big Computing Leadership Conference today #BCLC24 I'll be in the Physical Computing Room today playing with #robots, #crumble and #microbits. @microbit.org Its all in this big case!
Great day today at the Big Computing Leadership Conference in Oxford. Spent the day working with teachers in the physical computing space and built #crumble buggies and #microbit creations. Thanks to everyone who came and said Hi. #BCLC24
Great to hear from @philwickins.bsky.social regarding how to support driving computing in your school.
