Having had a sneak preview over the last month or so, as part of the @stacshq Reference Group, I'd definitely recommend #STACSConnected - a new collaborative space for primary and secondary teachers currently delivering Computing in schools. Requests to join 👇
Reasons to join #STACSConnected! A new CS specific community hub for primary & secondary teachers! A private space for educators to generate new ideas, get support, connect, & collaborate. Sign up connected.stacs.scot #ByTeachersForTeachers #stacsconnected

Total bug bear, submit the privacy notice page and home page links, then find the actual tool page still denied access for pupils. So frustrating....
DPIAs!! A huge barrier for CS for many years. It is so great to see @Mark_Logan1 raise this issue at the recent meeting with @SP_ECYP committee. Hopefully this will finally get addressed something CS teachers have raised multiple time for years. #SaveComputingScience

Great to see other teachers tonight for @stacshq at the swanky new @jpmorgan building in Glasgow. Privilege to talk about what I've done over the last two years with visiting our P7s. Hopefully I passed on something useful! @ScullionToni @CompSciScot
