Awesome STEAM day with Windpower and Microbits
Microbits have been so popular with the boys in our school. Playing Paper scissors Rock.... best question, repeated often - "Are we using Microbits today?"Wonder how this would pan out for some enrichment - differentiation?

This is worth keeping your eye on - the programme i think was intended to train 44k teachers, 43k primary 1k specialist secondary

The UK are approx 2 years ahead of us here in NZ. The Dept of Ed has invested heavily in a network of excellence and 8 or so universities have been training a network of master teachers and there are now 266 regional hubs. NZ has been watching and learning and there will be a lot of investment in up-skilling teachers. Primarily we need to upskill the primary sector and then the secondary specialists have been doing this for nearly 8 years. The programs put in place to get this off the ground should work and will most definitely raise skills levels as long as those in charge focus on real practical deliverable skills and not theory. Teachers are very busy people and they need to see where the new curriculum can fit, not as a new subject but as a way of delivering /integrating other subject content - Canterbury Uni's CS4PS is the perfect model - the teachers then need assistance in planning their curriculum for delivering the relevant progress outcomes.
