That is perfect, thank you. It's the reason I'm on this journey, and it's so encouraging to hear.

I may just write that down and put it somewhere prominent to be often reminded. Fully credited, of course!

Well this looks fun!

Hi Ed. I also live in Devon near Dartmoor, which looks amazing right now under all the snow!

I'm 4 weeks away from completing my short placement of ITT (secondary, computing). Do you have any advice that you consider essential for a trainee teacher?

Nice.

Appreciate the input, @mracolley.bsky.social. That's helped my brain significantly. Let's get today's lessons done, then start putting fingers to keyboard!

That's precisely what I'm getting at by rural! I've got a reasonable overview of what I want to say, but I guess my biggest issue is getting it structured right, getting those words on the page. I'm overthinker, and an oversharer, so waffling does become a problem!

Currently focused on the relevance of computing, and computing opportunities, to students within a high-unemployment, low-skilled, low-income, rural region. Hard to pick a phase, but I guess KS3 to pique interest and embed concepts.

Very happy to be a part of this amazing process.
Casually throwing in hashtags for awareness and some lovely, worthwhile connections :)

As a 2nd week trainee, this is precisely what I need/want to hear. Thank you.

There are somengreat tips here. I'll be trying out variations of them during the start of my first placement during training. Only a few short weeks to go!

Wait. Who's asking for them to be removed? 😲

Thanks!

Thank you, Tim. I'll do just that.
