Overview
This three-part programme supports primary practitioners to reflect on and improve their teaching of computing. Each session lasts half a day.
Session 1 looks at what we choose to teach (live via Zoom)
- Technology, ICT and now “computing” - what exactly is this subject about?
- Ensuring you have a rich progression in skills and knowledge
- Creating a powerful rationale for each bit of learning
Session 2 is an on-demand recording to support reflection and activities. It will explore five ideas for engaging computing, including:
- Using animation across the curriculum
- Engaging ways to expand and enrich computing terminology
- Improving your subject knowledge
Session 3 explores how we teach computing, and how we establish and evidence our impact (live via Zoom)
- Is there a ‘Greater Depth’ in computing, and how do we teach it?
- Assessment approaches that don’t divert focus and energy from the real substance of learning
- The role of computers in supporting remote learning
Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living
