Our new ‘Introduction to Python’ coding path for kids lets learners create digital visuals and become independent coders as they gain skills.

They'll learn about variables, functions, loops, & more.

@KateJones_teach This is a great strategy, as you say depends how you use it. The key is to know your students and how they will react.

I don’t think my retrieval grid is a bad idea … I use it a lot with my classes as have many other teachers with over 100K downloads & lots of feedback but I have written about how it can be used badly as any idea/resource can and written about how it can be used well.

And we’re off!
Today, schools from the UK and around the World start to challenge their students to solve a brand new set of Computational Thinking problems. Good luck everyone.

I have read a lot ( from research, books & blogs) about how students learn. I’ve also written about this myself.

I really like this from the ECF by @educationgovuk it’s clear, concise & covers the important aspects. This would have helped me a lot as an early career teacher! 🧠
