The feedback we get over the next few weeks is hugely important for us in terms of refining the resources and the user experience on the website. Members of the BBC team will be attending future roadshow sessions. We appreciate that teachers will have strong views on both how and when to use the BBC micro:bit. We hope it will be an amazing resource for the classroom. We also hope it will be a device the students really love too and will want to use it outside of the classroom as well as part of lessons. When we did the initial schools trial, the students did some amazing, creative things when they took it home. As far as registration goes, it does not close at the end of September, so I'm sorry if that message has been received. We will be e mailing all those schools who haven't currently registered again in October, inviting them to do so. Registration is important to give us the most up to date contact name, pupil and teacher numbers. The teacher devices will be delivered before Christmas and they are for those who teach Year 7 computer science. If there are more than 3 in a school then, if the schools get in touch, we are happy to accommodate that extra number. For all BBC micro:bit related questions please encourage your colleagues to e mail us at microbitinfo@bbc.co.uk thanks Hi Giles
