That this is a great group who answers all your questions with humour and common sense.
Range of unplugged activities and ideas for physical computing are my favs
A2. I have had add PRIMM from @suesentance into my teaching and, confession time, it is ok in HE teaching to 'borrow' ideas from primary and secondary colleagues #caschat
A2: I don't think I would be in the job I am in without caschat so many great people have given me good advice, shared so many amazing projects and given me the confidence to push on with computing, Thanks everyone! #caschat
#caschat A2 Not doing anything differently, just trying to broaden my range after seeing such great inspirational work from caschatters .Determined to give opportunities to experience real life experiences as possible with physical computing
A1 That #caschat was even here!
...and that so many people have something to offer and are willing to do so.
Late to the party...

Tweetdeck is a must A5 #cschat Think main recommendation for taking part in a #caschat is that you always leave with more than you came- in a good way :-)

#caschat and gamification together - now that is a very interesting idea. I know of another a chat that has badges for those who facilitate/host, organise it, etc.
