It’s been a MAGICAL Summer with a wonderful family trip to Disneyland Paris! ✨

Now looking ahead to a busy term!

From Sept my accounts on X & BlueSky will remain open but I will no longer be posting due to low engagement. I will now only be posting on LinkedIn and Facebook. 👋🏻

Delivered my last pupil workshops of the academic year last week; ending with Robotics & intelino level 2 sessions to children in Yrs 1-5.

Wonderful to visit Burhill Primary and be invited for the 4th time back to Three Bridges Primary. Thanks @hanansonya.bsky.social for sharing the pics!

Awesome day out with the family exploring the @railway200.bsky.social Inspiration train. A interactive exhibition that takes you through the ages & inspires future generations into STEM.

Lovely to see intelino coding trains featured & bump into my fellow intelino enthusiast, Allen Tsui! 🚆

It’s been fab delivering this #AI in Education course with Tim Barette. The delegates really engaged with the content and it’s been great to hear how they’ve been implementing what they’ve learnt, back at school. Looking forward to delivering more AI CPD as it continues to develop & improve. 🤩

James Fraser @eatsleepictrepeat.bsky.social · Jun 10

Great to deliver our Summer Subject Leader Network Meeting to computing leads in Wakefield.

Tim Barette and I shared EdTech updates, showcased Canva, discussed evidencing ‘impact’ and ran a hands-on session on how to create a game in OctoStudio. Thanks to MintSupport for hosting.

It’s been fantastic to be part of the #EKO project that gave schools the oppotunity to book a fully-funded workshop that promoted creativity, confidence, knowledge and #STEM careers to young people.

Thank you @teknoteacher.bsky.social for inviting me to be a part of it.

As an already huge fan of the content that @MRMICT & @TsuiAllen had previously shared online, I was very excited to hear that they had teamed up to write a book on leading computing and it did not disappoint!

Great couple of days delivering #CPD support to two lovely @eduthingltd.bsky.social schools in Surrey.

I worked with UKS2 staff on Wed & then teamed up with Tim Barette on Thurs to support staff with delivering their Summer Term #NCCE units. (sorry you look like Ed Miliband, Tim! 😆 Blame the AI)
