New Curriculum Computational Thinking Content:

The new computing curriculum requires that students learn about how computers and the internet work. Even though the

Internet is still a young technology, it's hard to imagine life

without it now. Every year, engineers create more devices to integrate with the Internet. This network of networks

criss-crosses the globe and even extends into space. But what makes it work?

Objectives of the course:

Give an understanding of the components of the internet;

Give an understanding of how computers store information;

To begin to explore how computers search for information.

Who should attend: Any practitioner who wants to develop their

understanding of computers

Date: 18th November 2015

Time: 4pm - 5.30pm

Programming - Using Python Content:

Python is a programming language that is freely available and that makes solving a computer problem almost as easy as

writing out one's thoughts about the solution. It can be written once and run on almost any computer without needing

Naace Open Badges The Computing Curriculum can be separated into three

distinct strands; each strand is made up of specific elements, and each of the CPD badges addresses these areas. Level 1

badges recognise your own knowledge of the subject area, Level 2 badges reward your knowledge, reflection and

application of the subject area in your teaching. Level 3 badges acknowledge the sharing of your knowledge with

others. All of the badges are recorded in your digital

Literacy with ICT Boys writing and technology

Reading and writing go hand-in-hand and it is through writing that children learn to formulate thoughts and improve their

creativity and thinking skills. New research published by the National Literacy Trust reveals that boys are half as likely to enjoy

writing as girls and almost a third never or rarely write outside of class.

Broadcaster and children’s author Simon Mayo says:

“It’s so important for boys to find a topic that interests them before they pick up a pen and start writing. I wasn’t particularly

interested in writing at school, I only started to enjoy it later on, but I was hampered by being fantastically slow. When I

started writing the first Itch book, it was as a short story for my son, but then I was completely captivated by the plot and

characters, and the story took over. If you can grab a child’s imagination in the same way, getting them to write about a hobby

or something they really enjoy doing then the whole story writing world is open to them.”
