As I step away from Berwickshire High School for the next year, I want to congratulate our school community on the superb progress we’ve made together in 4 years. Our school today is unrecognisable from the one that was rated 3 ‘Weak’s & an ‘Unsatisfactory’ in a 2019 inspection.

If we put too much emphasis on students ‘leading their own learning’ or we design lessons so different students engage in different tasks, all we do is create learning & achievement gaps. As much as possible, we should be trying to keep everyone’s learning together in a class.

📢 Looking for online gaming suggestions 🙏 @eSgoil’s interrupted learners join lessons from home and we’d love to see them build relationships with peers in a safe gaming environment. (Ideally) browser based, free and can have messaging restricted to a fixed group of people. 😊

Sad and embarrassing for a company which had its values rooted in inspiring the next generation of programmers. Likely in this academic year, replit will pull the plug on existing teams for education, leaving teachers who invested in the platform. https://t.co/0LqREwDjjH

The Scottish Government is seeking your views on Education Reform in Scotland. Have your say on plans for new approaches to education inspection and a new national qualifications body: https://t.co/isnDUMCsZ3

#SaveReplitTeams remember why you started @replit Teams for Education @amasad you were empowering the next generation of coders who were growing up knowing coding = @Replit You got it! You truly understood the value of education. Do not put a barrier to education please!
@mrneil_CS @Replit @CompSciScot Hi there, existing Teams for Edu users will be able to continue using it for now. We have not set a date for the service to be completely shut down. Beginning 11/15, Teams for Edu will no longer receive new features or bug fixes, and we will suspend the creation of new Teams/Orgs

#SaveReplitTeams @amasad @Replit please consider continuing to support the children all across the world who love Computing and coding using your tool! You listened and responded to teachers like no one ever before! You made a difference. Don't quit now! Please help 🙏 😢
@MarkHay79 @pycharm We've recently installed Thonny, it's designed for beginners - S3 are liking it ( https://t.co/OajJF9Ebhc). But ideally would like an Online IDE, so learners can use it on their Chromebooks - this is just one of the reasons that @Replit's Team for EDU was perfect.

#SaveReplitTeams @sierraromeoAda situation will be the same for many if not all educators across the globe who loved your product @amasad please don't forget the kids. Please bring back replit Teams. Don't stop being the change edu needed. Remember why you started!
@mrneil_CS @MarkHay79 @pycharm @Replit We've got all our assignments on teams with unit tests all written. We start new teams for groups every month or so. This is a big issue for us and I am super annoyed.

I’m sure a lot of other Computing teachers in Scotland now looking at alternatives now that @Replit are deprecating Edu Teams as of tomorrow. Made such a great product and now the rug being pulled out midway through the academic year… @CompSciScot @stacshq
