I am a fan of micro:bits too, these look like great lessons, nicely packaged. CC BY-NC too.
I’ve mostly been avoiding Twitter/X recently, but I still get emails. This looks like it might be fun in class.
I don’t really do much with spotify either, but looking for a poetry podcast I found this one and enjoyed this episode.
Ian McMillan celebrates spectral spaces, the pulse of the body, and the power of repetition, in a Verb which showcases emerging talent – new sound designers from the Sound First scheme ….
Ian is joined by the songwriter, producer and sound designer Benbrick, the poet, playwright and performer Hannah Silva, and Sound First participant Noah Lawson, to explore what sound design can bring to poems, and what sounds are buried in poems themselves.
Really enjoyed listening to this, perhaps I am a wee bit more tuned into sound after Sunday.

At the Aesthetics Meeting
We invented shape after shape,
color moving to and fro;
then outside where the plain world lives
it began to snow.William Stafford (1962)
Which took me via Wikipedia, to the dimly remembered Traveling through the Dark, some Tai Chi to land on Stone, paper, scissors.
All resonated for different reasons.
The Next War
It will take place,
it will take time
it will take life,
and waste them.
