Learn to code: Part 3 & Let's start from Scratch
In case you missed it... On Thursday 11 May, we ran our third and final session in a three-part series of web conferences: Let's start from Scratch and learn to code. Part 3: Let's build a computer game and make learning about Cartesian coordinates fun. Learn about algorithms, sequencing, branching and looping.
How to make real impact on digital literacy
Teaching digital literacy is a contrast to the traditional academic education model and results in education that leads to empowerment and lifelong learning. We can develop children who are curious, engaged and creative and grow to become change makers, innovators and creators by focusing on creating lifelong learners, outcomes first then tools and technology creation not technology consumption.
Kick start Digital Technologies like a digital guru
Roll out the new Digital Technologies subject like a digital guru. Here are a couple of tips on what not to do and what to do.
