Computing Teachers Toolkit
Working Smart – having a toolkit
 There is a lot to learn and a great deal
to do for all key stages
 You will need to get to grips with the
new computing program of study so
that you can deliver, effective and
meaningful lessons that enable your
pupils to make progress
 We don’t need to create and re-invent
everything, there are a wealth of
resources on CAS and elsewhere
 However, there are also a lot of tools
such applets, apps and websites which
are really useful and specific to CS

 Computational Thinking for KS2 or KS3
Thinking Myself
KS3 – Compute-IT with Dynamic Learning
 KS4 - MOOC’s (Massive Open On-line Course)
If you are new to GCSE Computing, and
especially OCR, this is a fantastic resource
Applets and Videos Galore
 Sorting
 Data Representation
Use classroom displays
Pioneers of Computing
Relevance
Celebrate Achievement
Geek of the week
Successful Challenges
Display work which reinforces topics
Using Props and Gimmicks
Create pupil computer science champions
Pupil champions can
help with projects, clubs
and BYOD.
Pupil champions can
help their peers and
enhance their own
learning experience and
social interaction.
