New Workshop Packs developed in collaboration with Disney launched
We are pleased to bring the well loved Disney resources into the Digital Schoolhouse Classrooms. Two new workshop packs are now ready for download and booking at your local Digital Schoolhouse.
Playful Computing activities added!
Computing is fun and learning through play is a great way to both teach and learn computing. Therefore, we have begun to extract and separately document some of the standalone activities that have been working so well in our workshops. Each activity is designed to be a short, fun and unplugged way to introduce an important computing concept (or two).
Suitable for almost all age groups, the sky is the limit with the range of possibilities for our extendable play based activities.
Call for Participation
As the Digital Schoolhouse is an LSEF project we are required to collect data that will help us measure any potential impact that we make with our participating schools. To help us measure the significance of this we need control data.
We are looking for participation from primary schools to help us meet this goal.
Exciting New Workshops Launched!
We are pleased to announce the launch of four brand new workshops. The new materials uniquely combine a range of innovative resources to enable teachers to easily deliver the new computing curriculum.
Digital Schoolhouse resources used in new CPD toolkit from Computing at School (CAS)
