BETT/SSAT Speed Learning 2014 - Notes and Links

I will be hosting a table session at BETT/SSAT Speed Learning 2014.
I'll be in the Platinum Suite at 10.30.

I'll be there talking on behalf on CAS about some Practical Classroom Idea in regards to Programming.



Idea:
What coding software works best in the classroom?

Key Message
So we all need to be able to program and think logically. Some hints and tips and what work well in the classroom.


Key Messages/Tips/Ideas that you shared
What shall I do in my school?
What can I choose from?

What to use in KS1 and KS2?

An informal discussion to answer some of the questions below:
  • What do the changes mean for class teachers?
  • What is programing?
  • What does logical thinking mean?
  • Where can we go to find resources?
  • What are you worried about?
