‘Hands-on’ with the new Primary Computing curriculum.
With the new computing curriculum:
• What are the opportunities for creativity?
• How can we use real and relevant contexts for the children?
• How can we develop literacy and numeracy?
In this hands-on, practical course, we will look at a number of teaching strategies to engage children in computing.
The course will:
• outline the changes to the primary computing curriculum
• help to plan and deliver continuity and progression across key stages 1 and 2, preparing for key stage 3.
• give practical examples of activities which can be carried out away from the computer, to teach important concepts
• use MakeyMakey tools to create exciting technology projects
• introduce app creation software
• offer ideas to establish a coherent and balanced curriculum
