Just another day as a Computing Science teacher. This is my first year running Minecraft Education Minecraft Education coding and the students and I are loving it. S1 focus on basic event based coding and S3 looking at algorithms and decomposition. Brilliant.

Stunning. The UK regime has barred Nelson Mandela's grandson, Mandla Mandela, a South African MP, from entering the UK to attend a Palestine solidarity meeting in Sheffield. The West supported apartheid in South Africa, and today it still can't tolerate anti-apartheid voices.

With many schools having now started their Advanced Higher projects just a quick reminder that SQA published a template file for candidates to complete this session. Link below: sqa.org.uk/sqa/files_ccc/…

This year's Nat 5 and Higher Assignments are being published today. They can be downloaded from the SQA Secure website.
