A wonderful book with some great ideas for Computer Science teachers! Recommended for anyone teaching Comp Sci
by Ms. C. Gryspeerdt
Love this book, finally something that’s useful for Computer Science teachers in secondary schools. Lots of great ideas to suit all year groups in high school. Have encouraged my trainee teacher to get a copy to start his library!
by Alan Harrison
Read this if you teach Computing! Packed with lesson ideas but more importantly loads of nuggets of wisdom about pedagogy: research-informed techniques that work, all packaged into bitesize chunks you can read in your break, or put this on your summer reading pile to come back refreshed and raring to go in September. I will definitely be doing “code golf” (write a program to solve a problem in as few lines as possible), “crazy characters” (back to back drawing to teach the importance of clear instructions) and “intelligent pieces of paper” (introducing AI by playing noughts and crosses against a written algorithm).
Simon has pulled together a goldmine of inspirational and powerful ideas which is essential reading for the Computing teacher.
by Ms. C. Gryspeerdt
This book is amazing for trainee teachers, NQTs and the more experienced teachers. I have been a teacher for 6 years, feel I have the depth in subject knowledge but wanted exercises across the topics that were fresh, engaging and looked at cognitive load. This book ticks all the boxes and you can see from the amount of sticky tabs, what i am implementing from next term. Hopefully there will be a version 2 soon
by Chloe Healy
This book is full of practical ideas with plenty that can be executed whilst not in front of a computer. I look forward to putting some of these ideas in action.
