Description
Teaching Computing Unplugged in Primary Schools: Exploring primary computing through practical activities away from the computer. Computing is often associated with computers, but its fundamental principles and concepts can be taught without any hardware. This book shows you how to teach computing through 'unplugged' activities that make learning more meaningful and memorable. It provides lesson examples and everyday activities to help teachers explore computing concepts in a concrete way, accelerating their understanding of key ideas such as abstraction, logic, algorithms, and data representation. The unplugged approach uses physical and collaborative methods to engage pupils and promote kinaesthetic learning. By focusing on the building blocks of understanding required for computation thinking, this book will help you elevate your teaching and your children's learning of computing beyond the available hardware.
