A set of informative posters to support the delivery of computational thinking within the classroom across all subjects and years! With particular relevance to the Digital Competence Framework within Wales, this resource was created as a guide to educators at all levels on how to incorporate Computational Thinking into lessons. This resource also provides suggestions on how the terminology can be simplified and delivered at different levels of education. There are a broad range of practical ideas on how to integrate computational thinking questions, tasks and games into subjects across the curriculum. I hope you find it of use!

This comprehensive unit of work introduces the concepts of computational thinking to students at KS4. It covers all elements of computational thinking such as Decomposition, Pattern Recognition, Abstraction and Algorithmic Design. I have also included debugging within the work. Each section is explained and followed by tasks to help develop student understanding. I have also included a ‘supermarket sweep’ computational thinking problem and a final project exercise which has three levels of difficulty. 2018 Update: Improved Grammar and clarity of task requirement. ***Please leave a review!***

All symbols are exemplified and a practical example of their use is also included. ***Please leave a review!

Rob-bot Resources presents a complete guide to support primary school teachers in the delivery of the Digital Competence Framework (DCF) in Wales. Following the Donaldson Report (2015), the need to improve digital competency within students across Wales was identified as being as important to the development of students as literacy and numeracy. This document provides practical solutions as to how primary teachers of years 3-6 can confidently deliver these requirements across a broad range of subjects. Where possible I have included “unplugged” solutions, i.e those that don’t require a computer to fulfill the requirements, so that teachers of all backgrounds can feel confident in the delivery of the framework. ***Please leave a review! ***

Teach your students how to use Excel through Dino Park! Students have been given a budget of £100,000,000 to build their park. They need to consider what dinosaurs they want to buy, how much space they will need, what facilities they require, staffing costs and ticket price. Excel Dino Park teaches you how to use functions and formulas through a series of engaging and interactive tasks which are differentiated to support a range of abilities. Skill that you will learn include: Add Raw data Create a graph Title a graph Formatting data Make arithmetic calculations using Excel Data validation (Drop down menus) Lookup formulas Use cell referencing in formulas Format graphs Cross worksheet referencing Advanced arithmetic calculations (nested) Use absolutely relative cell referencing Adding messages to data validation Efficient calculations (autosum) Conditional formatting Advanced graph formatting IF formulas Linking IF formulas and conditional formatting The clear explanations and step by step nature make it ideal for KS3 classes, but it is also suitable for ECDL, GCSE and beyond! Use alongside RobbotResources’ How2Excel’ workbook for a comprehensive understanding of how confidently use Excel! ************************Please leave a review!*************************

My popular twitter poster is available for download here! This poster gives an example of how computational thinking can be used to convert classic games such as ‘rock, paper, scissors’ and ‘noughts and crosses’ into algorithms. Try out in your classroom! I have included JPEG and PNG versions of the poster. Computational Thinking is a skill set that can be used across the curriculum, not just within computer science! The logical approach to solving a problem means that it’s application can be used to develop and improve students ability to deal with difficult problems in a more rational way. The aim of my posters is to make you realise that many of the brilliant tasks that teachers facilitate week in, week out actually include computational thinking. It’s just a matter of making it more explicit! Please leave a review!

Revision clocks are a great way for students to develop retrieval practice in preperation for exam season! My students loved it and really engaged with it!
