Testimonials

I regularly receive feedback from educators across the world, I have included some of this below for my workshops, training and resources.

Workshops for learners

“P5 and P7 at … have loved your micro:bit lessons and the format as a teacher is so helpful and easy- thanks again!”

“It was great having you in, the kids loved it.”

“We all enjoyed the session very much and hope to make good use of the micro:bits and all of your fantastic resources.” 

“Thank you to Mr Morrison for visiting Primary 4/5 today. We had great fun learning and playing with our micro:bits.”

“P5-7 explored their micro:bits this morning with Mr Morrison and created some fantastic code. We are looking forward to tinkering to become micro:bit experts of the coming weeks.”

“P4-7 enjoyed our closing session with Mr Morrison and can’t wait to explore more with our micro:bits.”

“micro:bit sessions today inspiring our youngsters to get into technology. Creativity and imagination flourished.”

Training for educators

“This has been absolutely fab, I am fairly confident with them, but having a range of much wider ideas has been really useful, so grateful for your time. Thank you.”

“That was great, thank you. Very insightful!”

“Thank you Mr Morrison for an extremely informative session! Your range of ideas and uses for the micro:bits have been excellent. Thank you for your time.”

“Thank you very much.  That’s given me lots of ideas for our Digital Leaders”.

“This course was extremely helpful in helping to teach me how to move my planning online, and ways that it can be altered to suit my needs.”

“The information has already helped me realise more potential from the suite of IT tools provided in GLOW and gave me the confidence not only to have a go but also to introduce it to other staff and colleagues.”

“Another excellent course that has increased my understanding and comfort in using micro:bits.”

“A very helpful introduction to support the use of the micro:bit resources and to deliver the technology curriculum effectively at Primary level with help for differentiation and activity suggestions.”

Resources

“This was such a great resource to apply to my robotics course. Everything was organized and extremely helpful. Great Work!”

“We are coming to the end of the block of starter lessons in our P5-7 class.
We (both teacher and children!) have really enjoyed learning about the features of the micro:bit and discovering just what we are able to use it for. The links to real life examples are fantastic and the resources are well paced and easy to follow. These lessons have proven really engaging and prompted lots of discussion from the children so…..THANK YOU!”

“My P6/7 class are absolutely loving these lessons. We have used microbits before and they can be frustrating little beasties. However, your lessons and the end results bring such smiles of delight that you have become our unwitting tech guru! Thank you so much for sharing (our STEM lead posted the link) a brilliant series of experiences. Please keep me posted if you invent any more.”

“Thanks you so much for sharing these lessons. I have done many coding lessons in the past with classes and incorporated microcontrollers in other lessons. These have really helped sharpen up my focus and given me a direction and sequence for teaching my 5th grade class to code. The structure of your lessons have also helped with me developing my own lessons and extensions. Thanks again for your generous sharing and support.”

“I used these resources with my P5 class who absolutely loved coding with the micro:bit. The lessons were easy to follow even for someone like me who doesn’t have great ICT skills.”

“I have been using your Garage Band lessons with my Year 5 and 6s students in Music class. This is my first time in a music role (I only joined the school 2 months ago) so these videos, lesson plans, and slideshows have been my saving grace. Thank you for producing something that is so easy to follow, and FREE.”

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for this wonderful scheme of work! I was so worried about the Data Logging unit for Computing this half term, but with your detailed and easy to follow resources, the children and I are enjoying the unit immensely! The planning I was supposed to use (from The Teach Computing website) was based upon a different type of data logger, so when the Computing Hub sent me microbits, I was at a loss as to what to do! Your resources have been my saviour and I plan to use them for years to come.”

“I’m going to do this with my year 1 class in a months time. I’ve just become a STEAM teacher this year … I’m so excited to use your lessons and power points to grow my knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!”
