This is a 3 part certified course. Subsequent sessions will take place on the following dates

15/09/21/ 4pm Computational Thinking – Critical thinking and problem solving across the curriculum
3/11/21 4pm Code along with Scratch
1/12/21 4pm Pedagogy and Computing Science

This course is for Scottish educators and requires a Glow loginEducation Scotland have partnered with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT to deliver this 3 part certified course to develop your knowledge of teaching computing science across the primary curriculum using Barefoot resources. This course is suitable for those already teaching or planning to teach computing science and will help fill potential gaps in knowledge.15/09/21/ 4pm Computational Thinking – Critical thinking and problem solving across the curriculumComputational Thinking, critical thinking and problem-solving top the World Economic list of skills that employers believe will grow in prominence in the next five years. This first session will explore why it’s important for your students to learn computing science and you’ll learn about key computational thinking skills as you give some of Barefoot’s “unplugged” activities a try – proving you don’t need expensive kit to teach computing. You’ll take away a range of lesson ideas you can try immediately with your learners.3/11/21 4pm Code along with ScratchTake your computing science knowledge to the next level with this interactive code along session. Get to grips with Scratch programming and the concepts of sequence, repetition and selection through a series of Scratch programming challenges. This workshop will build on the previous session as we explore how computational thinking skills are applied when programming.1/12/21 4pm Pedagogy and Computing ScienceLearn more about key pedagogical approaches to programming, including PRIMM (Predict, Run, Investigate, Modify and Make), Use-Modify-Create, Semantic Waves and Parson’s Problems. We’ll explore each approach through hands-on activities and examples, illustrating how these research-backed teaching and learning methods can be applied in your curriculum.
