The first video introduces a range of concerns surrounding computing technologies.  The idea that new technologies bring with them new social and ethical issues, and that the law is often slow to catch-up to guard people against these issues.  Some of the benefits of new technologies are briefly introduced,...

The European Space Agency have provided a range of purposeful and engaging activities to support learners across the Primary stage. These activities cover the Science, Maths, Design Technology, Computing and Topic curriculums through activities linked to life on Earth, our atmosphere and solar system and some even...

These videos guide you through the process of evaluating the impact of changes you make to teaching approaches in your classroom. The evaluation approaches described here will enable you to tell whether new approaches are more effective than what they have replaced. You'll be able to make evidence-informed...

This resource introduces programming techniques including Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and Event-Driven Programming (EDP).

The article consists of the full code for a working computer game. it could be used as a basis for adapting code for other purposes, or as a tool to aid understanding of code...

The reports in this publication demonstrate the potential of practising teachers to carry out research which applies a scientific method, both in terms of the generation of school-based local and contextual evidence and with regard to the development of a research-engaged, research-informed and research-led...
