Sometimes the sheer dread of "Oh god, 😱 someone else had my exact research idea" yields to "Oh cool! We had the same idea but actually saw it very differently and it's interesting to compare notes." ... 🙌🍎 to Anna Bloodworth & co at UGA, totally on my #iteachmath #CSK8 wavelength. 👇

@neilrickus.bsky.social appreciation post!
He was one of the very, very good ones in the computing education world. He was insightful, kind, and wonderfully excitable when he got a good idea in mind. Just found out that he had been ill, and he passed during the summer. 🤓🥹❤️🩹 #TeamCompSci #CSK8
A promotional webinar poster from CSTA South Dakota featuring the title "Online Webinar: Grow Your Knowledge." It includes a photo of speaker Tina Belden from Estelline High School. The event is scheduled for September 3rd at 7:00 PM CST and focuses on "Resources for the K–8 Educator." The poster includes the CSTA South Dakota logo, QR codes to register, and website information at https://southdakota.csteachers.org/events. The design uses a mix of grayscale background with orange and blue accents.

Screenshot of "AI Learning Priorities for All K-12 Students" from CSTA and AI4K12. Section on "Representation and Reasoning" is shown. To the right is a figure of a search tree for tic tac toe.
Looking at CSTA and AI4K12's report on AI learning priorities.
I nitpick AI stuff, but the abuse of "reasoning" here is kinda like, really bad for a doc about learning AI. I feel it misrepresents important details of AI, & over-anthropomorphizes.

I had a "bonus student" in my CS6 class today (prospective student shadowing for a day). I have to wonder what kids from other schools think of my class. Controlled chaos of kids, computers, cardboard, wire, foil & hot glue. Energetic but engaged, even on a Friday afternoon in May! #CSK8 #EDUsky
Working on my end of the year AI mini-unit for CS6. Love this article/video about how to differentiate between human and AI generated video - #CSK8 #EDUsky thekidshouldseethis.com/post/openai-...
Running a giveaway for educators this week. 15 winners will receive Star Stuff! 150+ #coding #puzzles - designed to spark curiosity and problem solving! Ends tonight at 11:59pm PDT!

Photo looking down at a merchandise display case. It’s full of electronic items, mostly Raspberry Pi and related accessories.
It’s a luxury to have an electronics store in my neck of the woods that stocks #raspberrypi and #microbit all the time, and i can just waltz in and buy. Tx, Abra! 🤓

Oooooh! Has anyone played with polypad.amplify.com and lasercut the designs? Designs output to SVG and pull into Glowforge well. Thinking 3D nets, tangrams, polyominos, etc. Could be cool for student projects or classroom manipulatives. #CSK8 #Edtech #EDUsky
HELP!!! the game over message wouldn't work, I got rid of it, but when you add it the donuts go crazy P.S. your the best computer science teacher ever 👍
6th graders leave the cutest comments in Google Classroom! #EDUsky #CSK8 #GoogleEDU
Scratch Tactile looks promising both as an unplugged activity and for students with special needs - based on #ScratchJr #CSforAll #EduSky #CSK8 www.scratchtactile.org/en
btw, the app I'm building is a really simple writing game, meant to help teach how LLMs work. I'm sure you've played something like it before. I hope it'll get the teaching gears turning. Curious? DM and i'll share in return for feedback. 🤓🫶 #aiedu #csk8 #teamCompSci
Week 2 into the tri with my 6th grade CS, and they know the workflow. We have group activity, a partner discussion/activity, then hands-on, followed by an exit ticket, often with a product linked. I reply in Google Classroom after class. They respond with the sweetest notes! #csk8 #edusky
My favorite unit of the year has begun 👏🏻 & this year’s 7th graders are making loads of progress in just a few days!
So far Ss learned how to connect motors, methods for forward & backward, and how to connect to a chassis. Can’t wait to see what this group comes up with!

After introducing radial symmetry on paper in 5th grade, we experimented with creating radial art in Scratch. So fun to see Ss unique creations!

My CS6 students have been using #Microbits, #Makecode, Makecode Arcade, and meowbits for several years. This is my first term with a legally blind student (some vision). Suggestions for keeping her engaged and providing an equitable experience when the platforms aren't super-accessible? #CSK8
I'd suspected this on my Pinterest feed for a while. We know issues with social media not reflecting reality (curated perfection), but now the images aren't just filtered, many are total AI. Tagged for CS Ethics discussions with students. #AIEdu #CSK8

Teachable Machine with 6th grade was a ton of fun today, but I'm pretty sure some minds were blown, too. What's included in the dataset matters - sample size, variety. Lighting matters. The priorities of the person curating matter. Machines aren't biased, but humans are. #CSK8 #EduSky #GoogleEDU
Wanted my students to get how AI can have bias, so we're training our own (sort of) with Teachable Machine. Ex:My model knows the difference between me with and without glasses, but it doesn't work for someone with darker skin or long hair. #EduSky #CSK8 #GoogleEDU teachablemachine.withgoogle.com
Fun week 1 of @raspberrypi.com in 6th grade! Ss had so much fun learning about hardware while programming the Sense Hat w/@scratch
#CSforAll #CSed #CSk8
Working with Meowbits and #MakeCode Arcade. Anyone have pointers for using the pins blocks? #csk8 #Microbit #Edusky
Coding in Tinkercad Codeblocks
Math calculations on whiteboard
6th grade is having fun learning to code custom Lego bricks in Tinkercad Codeblocks + all the math that goes along with it! Great practice with loops and measurement.

Code blocks in Scratch
Handdrawn red eyes & mouth filter over photo of persons face in Scratch website.
Loving #MLforKids in 6th grade this week, as Ss learn more about how AI & machine learning work. Ss experimented w/training the computer to recognize faces in Scratch while creating either their own “filters” or “face locks”.

11/n Shortcuts
Now you can start to 'reveal' the magic hacks/shortcuts. Call one sub from within another. Use a returned value as an argument for a different sub. Calling from a print or as part of a calculation. Let them create from solid foundations

10/n Functions with parameters
Data going in and out of the sub program. Now we can make our calculator useful. I teach to get user input in the main then send the arguments to the subs, which do the calc and return the answer into a variable in the main.
#TeamCompSci #CASchat #CSed #CSK8 #CSScot
9/n - Functions with no parameters
Next, return values. Hard coded calculations that return the value back to the main program. I teach to ALWAYS assign the return value to a variable (one thing per line) for use in the main program. No parameters yet.
#TeamCompSci #CASchat #CSed #CSK8 #CSScot
8/n - Procedures with parameters and arguments
Now introduce data going IN to the sub program. Still super simple examples here (adding two numbers etc).
