We teach them about variables, input, output, selection etc using edublocks. My SOW is available on TES. #TeamCompSci

OK. I couldn't resist just sneaking in another @joshualowe1002.bsky.social #EduBlocks project from Max Wainewright's brilliant book of #Python programming ideas. Suitable for children aged 8 and above. Happy Thursday!

I would usually share these from @joshualowe1002.bsky.social #edublocks website but find it easier to open them quickly to refer to when I'm teaching in this format so here they are again.

Hello @joshualowe1002.bsky.social Understand why #Edublocks hasn't posted on X for a while. Anyway, wanted to share my ♥️ of #Edublocks since discovering turtle imports make it so easy to get started on a Chromebook to teach Python without an app or fiddling with Linux settings...

Awesome! Glad you’re enjoying it.
We’re still very much working on EduBlocks, we just haven’t posted on X for a while. Lots of new stuff to come soon!

I enjoyed discovering yesterday the UK-based Inside Tech Careers podcast from Mission Encodeable, founded by two teenagers who are keen to inspire the next generation of computer scientists missionencodeable.com/podcast
Their website also has free Python coding tutorials.

For KS3, edublocks classroom did what I wanted it to do (including cloning tasks for multiple classes) but KS4 and 5 need to be able to have their own proper workspaces etc for them to grow with their code (if that makes sense).

Yeah I try to do this, but the amount of knowledge that actually comes through when they revisit isn’t what I’d like.
Typically just now it looks like:
Primary - maybe scratch, maybe robots, maybe nothing
S1 (Y7) - scratch
S2 (Y8) - edublocks
S3 onwards - textual programming

Certain things - e.g. calculations - are a real faff in Scratch, and I struggle to remember which sections the tiles are in, especially the orange and yellow ones. Have you seen Edublocks? What puts me off that is that they've disabled the console when you switch to text-based programming.

Thank you @sneekylinux.bsky.social How about this too for teaching loops in Python to Year 9s using @joshualowe1002.bsky.social #EduBlocks 200 pixel radius 12 point Mystic Rose pattern. More hashtags than program with less than 30 lines of Python code...

My #teacher5oclockclub #GetUpGetGoing offering is this: using @joshualowe1002.bsky.social #EduBlocks modified Max Wainewright's project idea of randomly placed dots. Increased the loop, reducing the size of the dots and making the selection of colour random. Happy Wednesday!

Hello again @joshualowe1002.bsky.social Not sure but wanted to check if I would be able to say that I was an #EduBlocks Certified Educator now that I've done this? I just managed to achieve the 70 percent pass mark. The questions kept me on my toes!

I talked to a couple people working on Edublocks this summer at the Blockly conference. I wanted to dive further in, but I haven't really had time to do so. I didn't know about the console issue, but those I talked to were very keen on getting feedback from educators.
