It explored a range of unplugged activity ideas and the concepts, approaches and key vocabulary of computational thinking.
This session welcomed practitioners working with learners in ELC or Primary School AND all other practitioners who work with learners at any level, with an interest in creatively embedding computing science their learning environment.

We shared how Blended Learning has been used on return at the start of this new session 2020-2021 and its impact on the learners. After having returned in August form Lockdown, we felt it was important to utilise the digital skills the learners had gained as well as improving pupil engagement, motivation, and challenge by using a blended approach to learning in the classroom. By maintaining this blended approach, we have been able to provide a differentiated and more personalised approach to learning.
Although technology has played an important part in our classes it has been important to create a stimulating environment in the classroom where the displays demonstrate a range of curricular areas and are accessible and used to reinforce learning.
By using our variation of Blended learning, the pupils have been leading the learning. It was vital for us that learning was relevant and built on previous online learning. The approach has made sure that pupils are aware of learning expectations and know how to be successful in their learning, whether online or in class.
Learners are engaging in various types of learning experiences, online, in class and in groups. Learners are encouraged to develop high order thinking strategies in their classwork using the and online activities. Due to the use of online assessment tools the Learners are aware of feedback and can act rapidly on this. Digital technology is a feature of learning with both in class as well as at home. After the lockdown and the possibility that they had more “textbook type activities” it has been important to provide them with activities that they can relate their learning to real life contexts.
The Webinar will looked at the tools and pedagogy used in this first term (August – October), the digital tools used and their impact on their learners.
These introductory webinars focused on how ELC practitioners can make the best use of digital tools that are available to use via Glow to support communication and collaborative working. All other practitioners working with learners at any level were also welcomed to join these webinars and may find the content useful.
The first session focused on Microsoft Teams, Staff Notebook (OneNote) and Sway. Practitioners were guided through creating their own staff Team and shown how you can work in collaboration with colleagues in real-time, including setting up and joining video calls. The session also covered creative ways to share important information such as newsletters and learning stories.
Focusing on G-Suite, the second webinar explored how ELC practitioners can communicate and collaborate with colleagues in real-time, on Google Docs, Jamboardand and through video calling within Google Meet. This session also explored creative ways to gather survey information for self-evaluation and how to share information such as newsletters and learning stories in Google slides.
