+1 for LMC. Better when you can picture how these parts interact.

Things you hear on the train... "WiFi's great isn't it? But where's all that information stored on the Internet?" I have my laptop with me and am wondering if he'd mind me using some new @oaknational.bsky.social resources to tell him? #TeamCompSci

Those who live and breathe curriculum and assessment by teaching every day have a deep and unique understanding of what’s going well and what needs to improve. If that’s you, please do share your precious insights through the call for evidence. consult.education.gov.uk/curriculum-a...

Agree. Shorthand assumes understanding such as count = count + 1 rather than count += 1. Better to spell out what is meant.

Makes sense to go where the teachers are.

Engaging in terms of varied visual feedback. Engaging in terms of removing syntax errors that hold back early progress of the easily put off. Another tool in a long journey of many parts of which each has a place and we shouldn't be wedded to one.

Still useful, and engaging, in today's classrooms.

What resonated with me in Mindstorms was highlighting that if Descartes used coordinates by watching a fly on the ceiling, then a child might understand the same concept programming a turtle. Extend this to Scratch's position on a screen and you have a way of making the abstract more concrete.

Absolutely. Not very secure though.

This might be something we will look at in the new @oaknational.bsky.social computing curriculum. So much potential!

Stuart Davison @mr-comp-sci.bsky.social · 15/10/2024

We don't do enough of the concrete in computing, or maybe just starting from a frame of reference that pupils can visualise and/or relate to.

Digital skills. So many different interpretations. What does #TeamCompSci consider them to be?

Stuart Davison @mr-comp-sci.bsky.social · 02/10/2024

Love this. Anything that makes programming more real world really helps to engage a wider audience. #TeamCompSci

Was so useful, thank you. We (computing) started unpicking subject vocab at the end. It gets awkward when technical terminology is just plainly offensive. www.wired.com/story/tech-c...

Props definitely help visualise some of the more abstract computer science concepts. Used to have a box full of such treasures #PoundlandPedagogy. Found a pill box worked to demonstrate arrays! #TeamCompSci #CASchat #EduSky
