I made these posters for a CAS Primary Hub meeting in York. They're based on the keywords from the KS1-2 Computing Curriculum (2014) You can download the source files to edit / adapt them from here: https://github.com/pddring/computing-keywords You can see them on the CAS site here: http://community.computingatschool.org.uk/resources/1758

Posters for each of the 6 topics for Edexcel’s GCSE (9-1) in Computer Science Each poster shows the learning objectives along with a QR code to free keyword / definition based revision games. The games are designed to help students recognise, understand and use the right vocab in the R081 mandatory exam. You can access the games at tools.withcode.uk/keywords 516 keywords with matching definitions organised into 6 topics and 84 learning objectives. Keywords are displayed using Sans Forgetica: a font designed by RMIT University to help students remember what they read. If your students find this font hard to read, you can disable it on the tools.withcode.uk/keywords/about page. Keywords and definitions published under a Creative Commons Share Alike Non Commercial license so feel free to adapt providing you keep a clear reference / link back to the original author as tools.withcode.uk/keywords See here for more information: https://blog.withcode.uk/2018/11/free-gcse-computer-science-revision-games/ Hope it’s helpful.

These resources walk students through how to get started writing, testing, debugging and extending python code on a BBC micro:bit. This is designed for beginners, with the focus on how to display text and images on the micro:bit screen and sense when buttons are pressed or the pins along the bottom have been touched. There's three sections: Try it: sample code to try out (in your browser with a python micro:bit simulator and on the device). All students should be able to engage with this, Debug it: sample code that's deliberately sabotaged so that students can build up confidence in finding and fixing problems in their code. Most students should be able to engage with this. Extend it: project ideas, hints and links to get students using their creativity and initiative to take the project further. Varying level of difficulty, open ended challenges to stretch the most able. Have a look here for further info: http://community.computingatschool.org.uk/resources/4479 You can download student activity traccking sheets to get students to record and reflect on their work, with space to keep track of what support they’ve given / reveived to promote independent learning. If your students have 1:1 tablets these pdfs can be shared via Showbie (or similar) so that students can annotate them & you can keep track of their progress. Alternatively, you can print them and get students to fill them in by hand.

This resource is a series of printable posters which go alongside a series of free interactive and self-marking python activities that students can do without needing to install any software or create any user accounts. Each poster contains a QR code which takes you to the tutorial. Each tutorial is arranged as follows: The theory: learn what you need to know as quickly as possible Try It: run some code that illustrates the skills and concepts Debug It: practise finding and fixing errors in code that’s been sabotaged with common mistakes Extend It: have a go at some more advanced, open ended challenges Students can track their achievements as they complete each challenge and they can generate a personalised PDF certificate to demonstrate their progress. All free, no user accounts required. You can find the full list of tutorials here: https://blog.withcode.uk/2018/08/python-for-beginners-free-interactive-self-marking-activities/
