Computing Teachers Toolkit

Working Smart – having a toolkit There is a lot to learn and a great deal

to do for all key stages You will need to get to grips with the

new computing program of study so that you can deliver, effective and meaningful lessons that enable your pupils to make progress

We don’t need to create and re-invent everything, there are a wealth of resources on CAS and elsewhere

However, there are also a lot of tools such applets, apps and websites which are really useful and specific to CS

Using Applets, Flash and Simulators

Logic Gates Logic Lab

Flow Charts Raptor

KS3 – Compute-IT with Dynamic Learning

KS4 - MOOC’s (Massive Open On-line Course) If you are new to GCSE Computing, and especially OCR, this is a fantastic resource

Applets and Videos Galore

Sorting

Using Props and Gimmicks

Create pupil computer science champions

Pupil champions can help with projects, clubs and BYOD.

Pupil champions can help their peers and enhance their own learning experience and social interaction.

Summary You will have to prepare well and

get organised But help is out there in the form

of CAS Master Teachers Exam Boards On-line Materials Kerboodle, Dynamic Learning, MOOC’s etc Applets, Flash, Simulations
