Computing Curriculum Support and Projects for Schools
About Me
Curriculum
I also have my own scheme of work for Computing which you can read more about here and can be delivered as part of a team teaching focus.
Assessment
iPads
I will provide training which is based on my own expertise and experiences, having successfully used iPads to improve my teaching and learning. Topic areas could include;
- "The paperless classroom" - using iPads to develop a work flow model between pupils and teacher, whilst still maintaining authentic pupil feedback and teacher marking
- Using the iPad as a teaching tool and for AfL
- Mobile device training - e.g. deploying a school 1:1 device system or Bring Your Own Device System and utilising iPad's within the classroom
- Using iPad apps to support pupil's with SEN and AEN
- Using iPad apps to enhance teaching in literacy and numeracy
- Using iPad apps to develop writing
- Using iPads in guided reading
- Setting up a VLE and using the iPad to develop collaboration
- Using iPads in EYFS
- Using QR codes
- Using Augmented Reality to create pupil - voiced, evidence based, interactive displays
- Using your iPad as a classroom management tool
Alternatively support can be focussed on working 1:1 with your ICT subject leader (or other staff); providing consultancy support on iPad deployment and advice on recommended apps.
Teaching
Most projects, although designed for apple computers/devices, can be easily adapted for PC. Unless otherwise stated, projects can be delivered as full or half day events or as specific, targeted intervention programmes (run over 6 or 12 weeks blocks). Projects include;
- Greenscreen
- ePub books
- Podcasting
- Animated Film
- Multimedia
- Website design
- iPad Art (full or half day only dependant on the amount of pupil's involved)
- Control and Programming
- Handheld learning (6 or 12 week specific intervention programmes)
N.B. These projects will be planned specifically around key objectives from the new literacy/numeracy curriculum. Pupil's will be assessed at the beginning and end of the intervention, to give schools a measure of the impact made on pupil's progress.
Projects include;
- Using games to enhance boys writing
- Using screencasting apps to develop talk for maths
- Using the iPad to develop skills in reading
- Engaging reluctant writers through the use of virtual world apps
- Use of apps/games to develop skills in maths
- Using animation apps for story telling (ideal for EYFS and KS1)
- Developing writing skills through the making of an iPad game
Clubs
This could be in the form of a proven, after school programming club. Alternatively, I also run an after school radio club, which can be recorded and accessible on your schools VLE platform (these can also be run as a holiday club). Alternatively, provision could focus on a different area of computing. Please contact to discuss any ideas that you have!
Training
I offer a range of training on a variety of computing topics. This expertise comes from years of experience and having incorporated these aspects within my own teaching. Training could focus on;
- Programming/Coding (e.g. Scratch)
- The Computing curriculum
- Blogging
- Using web 2.0 tools and social networking
- eSafety workshops/presentations for parents and guardians
- Getting the most out of your computer programming hardware (e.g. Beebots, Probots, Makey Makey kit etc)
- Using the 'flipped teaching' model as an alternative to traditional classroom instruction
- Using mobile technology to enhance teaching and learning
