We have some exciting news for you. We’ve added more content to our newest module, ‘Computing’!
The Computing module covers all aspects of the new Computing programme of study and is divided between the three strands of Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy.
It already consists of engaging Activities, stimulating Student Tools, interesting Topic Tools, informative Learn Screens and thought-provoking ThinkIts. Through this stimulating variety of content, students can explore new ideas, helping them use computational thinking and creativity to understand the world around them.
What’s more, we’ve now added more content. All of the new Activities listed below come with a full set of peripherals, which includes a Lesson Plan, Teacher Notes, an Activity Sheet and, where applicable, Reference Sheets (found with the Activity Sheet area).
