Listen and learn: Ed talk 
Recorded Session
Attendees will be presented with around 50 different opportunities to use the BBC Micro:bit within the mathematics classroom.
The session will only have a fairly quick look at the computational thinking involved, but all of those details will be available to attendees to read at their own leisure.
There will be reference to the four cornerstones of computational thinking, as well as Polya's four steps to problem solving.
Success will be educators feeling empowered to try out some of the activities and hopefully sharing their successes through Twitter or other social media.
0-5 minutes Introduction and sharing of knowledge and a little prediction game.
5-8 minutes a background on usingn micro:bits in maths and the advantages of computational thinking in the mathematics classroom
10-55 minutes: The challenge! I will try and share as many micro:bit projects and ideas as I can in the time left. Each idea will come with a simple outline and example and possible extensions to the idea. It will be presenter heavy - but that is the nature of the session - I will try and encourage discussion in the chat/room and will stop for questions where necessary - but it is a race against the clock to see how many I can get through!
55-60 minutes: an opportunity for questions and feedback
