Primary Briefing What does the Draft Curriculum Mean for us?
The Draft 2014 KS1 Computing Curriculum Pupils should be taught to: • understand what algorithms are, how they are implemented as programs on digital devices, and that programs execute by following a sequence of instructions • write and test simple programs • use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs • organise, store, manipulate and retrieve data in a range of digital formats • communicate safely and respectfully online, keeping personal information private, and recognise common uses of information technology beyond school.
aN algorithm • A step by step procedure to solve a problem. • A plan of the steps you would have to go through to solve a problem
Now we have our algorithm what’s next? • Can we give the paper to the Beebot? • How will it know what to do?
So we have covered the first two points • understand what algorithms are, how they are implemented as programs on digital devices, and that programs execute by following a sequence of instructions • write and test simple programs
Point three • use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs
Point Four • organise, store, manipulate and retrieve data in a range of digital formats
And Finally! • communicate safely and respectfully online, keeping personal information private, and recognise common uses of information technology beyond school.
In conclusion • My practice won’t be changing much. I do it all anyway, I will just be changing a couple of the words I use • The greater emphasis on e-safety again won’t change much of what I do, but it is very welcome to emphasise its importance and ensure everyone is doing it.
