This link will take you to a Prezi, where the three routesabove will be considered in more detail.
Talking Point 1:
Discuss your answers to the following questions:
Q1. What does the computing curriculum look like at the moment in your school?
Q2. What do you plan to change over the next year?
Q3. What resources could you do with?
Specialist Vocabulary
Other Ideas:
★ Spend a staff meeting de-mystifying the vocabulary, by exploring each word and creating a whole school display.
★ Use a group of children, such as your digital leaders, to make short videos explaining the words.
★ Create a cheat sheet that your staff can refer to using the new BBC Site (http://bbc.in/1rWHjr4)
★ Scrap all vocabulary for a year and come back to it later.

Talking Point 2:
Type the following address in a browser window:bit.ly/swesafety
Double click anywhere in the screen and type your answer to the three questions.
Choosing Devices and Software“select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital
devices to design and create a range of programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information”
This is a great opportunity to go to your Head Teacher and Business Manager and demand new software and new hardware.
How to decide?Decide what learning you want to do and then choose a device that does what you need it to.
Talking Point 3:
Think about what we have discussed in this session, make a plan for your school and then share it with the people next to you on your table.
