 * Discussion Topics**

1. What can CAS do for you? Tom Crick and Mark Dorling have 12 months to do *stuff* to support teachers as part of the CAS Network of Excellence scheme. Schemes of work, resources, CPD, people to talk or write to SLT... what would help YOU in YOUR current situation? - Tom Crick and Mark Dorling

2. CAS Summer Conference, Birmingham - Recap, highlights, feedback. Did you attend? What did you think? - Mark Clarkson

3. I'm very taken with the idea of using hardware (Arduino etc) to make Computing more 'physical'. I've used an Arduino with an LCD display to allow students to design their own characters, convert to hex (so both image and number representation) and download them to the hardware, but I haven't gone any futher. What experience/suggestions/warnings do others have? I only teach A-level and don't seem to have a lot of time. John Stout
