Raspberry Pi

Previous Knowledge.

My first encounter with the Rasberry Pi was during one of Jonathon Westlake's Talk to the British Computer Society North Staffs Branch. I was amazed at what a little piece of kit could do and how it could perform like a desktop computer. For my interview I did a presentation about the Raspberry Pi but I still hadnt got my hands on one up until the course started.

Strengths.

My strengths are that I am quite technical and hope to build on my technical IT knowledge and apply it to the classroom.

Weaknesses.

I don't know enough about the HAT's and attachments yet and I think these could be a great fun learning experience for my students and I.

Current Knowledge.

Having dabbled a bit in Raspberry Pi I see the huge potential for learning that it creates. Programming in Python and programming Minecraft are fantastic ways to engage young minds and mould them for the future.
