Computing ITT & CPD
A really useful collection of computing resources can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/primaryictitt/home. This site was originally set up for ITT students but is useful for all of us!
SEN Computing wikispace
SEN computing wikispace has been set up by the Sheffield eLearning Team, together with teachers in special schools around the UK to look at how the 2014 Computing Curriculum can be adapted for students with special needs and disabilities.
The site has a few activity ideas for P levels and KS1 – KS3 and will build over time.
Problem-solving activities that require sequencing and logical reasoning for KS1
There are a number of iBoard activities available on the LGfL site that support the development and practice of problem solving. They can be accessed at iboard.lgfl.net or specific activities can be embedded or linked to from your MLE as in the example below:
