9781473970403: Lessons in Teaching Computing in Primary Schools

Synopsis

If you are training to teach the primary computing curriculum, you need to know what effective teaching of computing in primary schools actually looks like. As the computing curriculum is new to primary schools and many teachers will not have experience in teaching computing, where do you find exemplar lessons? This book provides them.

It features exemplar lessons in teaching primary computing as a starting point for learning. It explores the theory behind them, how they can be adapted to suit different year groups and different schools and how you can learn from them to develop your subject and teaching knowledge.

This text will help you to teach computing in a way that brings the subject to the children, rather than the other way around. It will support you to plan and teach lessons that motivate, engage and inspire children to see the opportunities that computing can offer and to understand how computing fits in with their daily learning and lives.

NEW TO THIS EDITION: Updated throughout and includes information on new apps and other resources for teaching and a brand new chapter on teaching with tablets in the primary classroom.
