In the hospital school, over the last 2 years, we have used Cricut machines to teach graphic design .

The way we teach computing keeps evolving.

Last one. There's a decent correlation between the quality of the book covers and the quality of the work in the books!

Pleased with these holos!

Our son and daughter helped me make these holographic Computer Combat Cards as gifts for our pupils.

The time taken makes it difficult to price, so I have started giving away one holo with each order on the computer combat cards website. #teamcompsci #caschat #csed

Every teacher should be a teacher of reading.

So much of our knowledge, vocabulary and magic is subject dependent.
