Thanks so much for visiting, and teaching us Crumble!
In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Miles Berry, a leading voice in education, computing, and teacher training. We dive into the evolving role of technology in schools, current teacher training frameworks, Ai and more.

LATEST PODCAST: "Will AI revive the art of tinkering?"
@beccip.bsky.social gives practical AI tips. @milesberry.net favours a knowledge-based curriculum but knows nothing about K-pop. And we ask "Is CT 2.0 just tinkering?" #TeamCompSci #CSED #caschat

NEW PODCAST EP: "Will AI revive the art of tinkering?"
We ask "Is CT 2.0 just tinkering?" @beccip.bsky.social gives practical AI tips. @milesberry.net favours a knowledge-based curriculum but knows nothing about K-pop. 50 minutes of pure gold. #TeamCompSci #CSED #caschat

… but (almost) all my demos are on screen. Would be different for practical science.
If it’s live-streaming, then the horrible Teams. If it’s recording a live session then the almost as horrible Panopto. For pre-recorded, I use Screenflow on my MacBook and export to YouTube.
For live recording and streaming, I wear a DJI mic mini so I don’t have to stay in front the laptop.
Playing with the offer and uptake data for GCSE CS in summer 2024. Still big variations by deprivation indicators...

@stephenfry.bsky.social on the danger of an educated elite and a trained majority. cf knowledge vs skills? #bett25
I like @stephenfry.bsky.social’s idea of more open assessment with AI, as a conversation exploring and drawing out what a child knows, Socratic method and assessment as learning. #bett25
“You can’t invent flying without putting in air traffic control, otherwise everyone dies“ @stephenfry.bsky.social at #bett25
@stephenfry.bsky.social at #bett25 suggests that the flourishing of AI is a consequence of Moore’s law and Big Data, rather than human ingenuity.
I liked Bridget Phillipson’s emphasis on the importance of the relationship between pupils and teachers, as well as addressing the digital divide and inclusion. Optimism about AI to help with workload, but addressing recruitment, retention and school attendance may be more complex… #bett25
Bridget Phillipson says we must close the digital divide. Use of Ed tech should be based on evidence, including ‘the latest neuroscience’ #bett25
Duncan Verry opens #bett25, saying education has massively changed over the last 40 years, since RM launched the Nimbus at the first BETT at the Barbican back in ‘85.
Has it?
Wonderblocks is a new CBeebies programme, released on Jan 20th, that aims to develop children's early computational thinking skills & problem solving. I'm very proud to have been involved. @compscitsui.bsky.social @milesberry.net @computingatschool.bsky.social

Dear Computing Teachers, as the term ends and you get a well-deserved break, we have a Christmas present for you…
…from January, the entire Codetoday Unlimited platform is
FREE FOR SCHOOLS

DfE workforce census reported just shy of 6k teaching ICT in English secondaries in Nov 23. I know.
In the song The 12 Days of Christmas, the total number of presents given is 364. This total comes from adding up all the gifts given each day, accounting for the fact that the gifts are repeated cumulatively. For example, on the first day, one gift is given, but by the twelfth day, all the gifts from the previous days are given again along with the twelfth day’s gift.
It’s a trick question. Interestingly, Chat GPT answers in the passive voice.
Interesting. Did it help to provide it as a CSV rather than the PDF? Have you tried doing this as a custom GPT?
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
Just passed my Turing test, then?
Hmm! It said I won then overwrote it with a message saying it had won...so it learnt to be a poor loser from humans perhaps? :-) I do love Nim though. Randomly reminds me of Sprouts (and even better Brussel Sprouts) as also wonderful games as learnt the maths behind them at same time (from Conway)
