What is computer science and how do I teach it?

Rachel Whalley —

Our friends and Core Education have picked up on the challenge of Digital Technologies in the NZ Curriculum, with this PLD free to teachers.

This introductory series of four online webinars and written content aims to give teachers the resources and confidence to teach some foundation concepts of computer science with Y7 to Y10 classes. Each webinar will cover relevant concepts along with suggestions on how they can be taught.

The free online course runs over the month of August, commencing on 1 August with 50 places available.

The programme will be facilitated by Trevor Storr. Trevor has taught Digital Technologies, Computing and ICT at various levels for a number of years. He now divides his time between NetNZ, including teaching NCEA Level 3 Computer Science and Programming, and working as an advisor for the Connected Learning Advisory.
