The Micro:bit and Science- Data logging
The micro:bit has been written about a lot . If you still don’t know what it is look no further than www.microbit.org.
I have been lucky enough to be involved with this educational microcontroller from it’s inception to the delivery to over a million students and beyond.
For me it’s the perfect device to teach computing. This is my goto when asked how to teach computing across the curriculum. Over the past few years I have had the pleasure and opportunity to work with teachers and students around the world and introduce them to the world of physical computing. using the micro:bit
I am always looking at doing a lot, in a simple way with the micro:bit, aimed at the teacher who has absolute no previous knowledge of computing, who by learning some simple processes, learns to deliver a lot of learning to their students. So this blog series will share some of those ideas, it’s about time I got them written down, Projects, resources and people who have helped me along the way. These will be mostly about the micro:bit, but also welcome distractions that have tweaked my ‘Nerd’ gene. Hope you find it useful.
