LIVE Code - Focus on Pattern Recognition (Grade 4-6)
Rating
0.0 stars

"In this 45-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of pattern recognition.

Pattern Recognition occurs when you can identify patterns. When you identify patterns, you can create rules that allow actions to be repeated automatically. Pattern recognition can also improve how quickly a problem can be solved."

The teacher's guide walks you through exactly how to use the broadcast in your classroom.

As part of their reporting process, they are required to report on participation and impact of our programs. If you could please take a moment to complete the following short survey with your students, it would be greatly appreciated.

LIVE Code - Testing and Evaluating: Grades 4-6
Rating
0.0 stars

In this 45-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of testing and evaluating.

Testing involves trying something and observing what happens.Evaluation is about using critical thinking and judgment to determine if a set of criteria are met. If not, then correction or improvement may be required. Computer programming tends to be an interactive process in which testing and evaluating are constantly occurring.

A teacher guide is also included.

Learn Like an Influencer Template - from Ditch That Textbook
Rating
0.0 stars

"Social media influencers often make a plan when creating their content. Your students can show what they've learned by following the same content creation plan that their favorite influencers use! This template walks them through the steps -- and focuses on helping them show what they know from your class."

Note: This is the PLAN to make posts; students do not need to actually have access to these platforms to do this (and shouldn't without parental permission!)

Assignment is available in PPT and Google Slides.

Learning Technology Inspires Children's Education at Home and in Schools
Rating
0.0 stars

Next Generation Learning is a government campaign initiated by Becta. We aim to use technology to create a more exciting, rewarding and successful experience for learners of all ages and abilities. This enables everyone to achieve their potential and achieve much more. The facts speak for themselves:

• 85% of secondary school learners believe that technology makes it easier to do homework.
• 85% of primary school learners believe that technology makes learning more interesting.

All of this is likely to mean improved GCSE grades and more children moving into higher education. Despite this, only one in four schools is currently using technology to its full potential. Help us to change that by Getting Involved.

This site contains lots of useful information about how technology is used in the classroom, and for studying at home and how to learn safely online.

Live Code with Let's Talk Science - Abstraction: Grades 4-6
Rating
0.0 stars

"In this 45-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of abstraction.

Abstraction reduces how hard a problem or task is by focusing on what's important. We do that by deciding what the important information is and then removing all the unnecessary details. Abstraction is also used when we want to have one object or word stand for an action."
