When we use the internet we either consume, create or communicate. Each of these behaviours has different levels and types of risk. This toolkit will help you to diagnose, understand and then support learners with their digital needs.

Before you start with the toolkit, find out what your learners are using and doing online; and the issues or risks this presents. With this information you can use the toolkit to locate information, resources and professional learning to support you in planning meaningful CRIS learning.

21 March 16:00, This is Digital Learning and Teaching professional learning programme

As educators it is our responsibility to make effective use of digital technology to deliver high quality teaching, engaging learning and effective assessment.

This four-part professional learning programme is designed to enhance educators’ knowledge and skills in order to develop their planning, teaching and learning, and assessment and feedback with digital technology.

 

The four sessions cover:

08 March 16:00, This is Computing Science, 4 part course

Education Scotland have partnered with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT to deliver this 4 part course to develop your knowledge of teaching computing science across the BGE curriculum, highlighting some of the free resources such as Barefoot and Scratch. This course is suitable for those already teaching or planning to teach computing science and will help fill potential gaps in knowledge.

31st Jan – Workshop 1 Pedagogy and Computing Science

Learn more about key pedagogical approaches to programming, including PRIMM (Predict, Run, Investigate, Modify and Make), Use-Modify-Create, Semantic Waves and Parson’s Problems. We’ll explore each approach through hands-on activities and examples, illustrating how these research-backed teaching and learning methods can be applied in your curriculum.

14th Feb, Workshop 2 – Computational Thinking across the curriculum

Computational Thinking, critical thinking and problem-solving top the World Economic list of skills that employers believe will grow in prominence in the next five years. This first session will explore why it’s important for your students to learn computing science and you’ll learn about key computational thinking skills through “unplugged” activities – proving you don’t need expensive kit to teach computing. You’ll take away a range of lesson ideas you can try immediately with your learners.

28th Feb & 8th March, Workshop 3 & 4 Coding and Programming – Code along using Scratch

Take your computing science knowledge to the next level with these interactive code along session. Get to grips with Scratch programming and the concepts of sequence, repetition and selection through a series of Scratch programming challenges. This workshop will build on the previous sessions as we explore how the pedagogy of computing science and computational thinking skills are applied when programming and coding.
