The new Computing Programme of Study has been criticised not only for its content, but also for the terminology it uses. In particular, it speaks about “computational thinking”, “algorithms” and “decomposition”. “Surely”, the argument goes, “they could have used ordinary everyday language?”

Had “they” decided to do that, there would no doubt have had so many people panicking about it all. So, it’s a compelling suggestion. It just happens to be wrong.

Teaching computational thinking to primary pupils - YouTube

Published on Jan 4, 2014

For once Google, Microsoft and Will.i.am agree, teaching Computing is important and it is important that children learn to think computationally from an early age. James Abela will take you through a hierarchy of visual tools that enable students to think computationally, code and solve problems in a logical way. This practical session will show you the free tools, lesson plans and support available for delivering a first class computing curriculum.
My presentation for 21st century Learning in Hong Kong. (I did have a cold when recording, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.)
