A series of 6 classroom wall posters to promote the concept of computational thinking. Alongside the 4 parts of computational thinking (Decomposition, Pattern Recognition, Abstraction and Algorithm design), I have also included debugging which includes common errors (example syntax and logical). PNG and PDF versions included. 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!

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!

A classroom poster to support students who are writing flowchart algorithms. The poster includes an explanation of the symbols required for the following tasks; Start & End, Inputs & Outputs, Tasks and Decisions. I have also explained the use of variables. All symbols are exemplified and a practical example of their use is also included. ***Please leave a review!

The following quiz is based upon the four parts of Computational Thinking: Decomposition, Abstraction, Pattern Recognition and Algorithm Design. The quiz includes 8 questions including definitions and scenarios to test your students understanding of Computational Thinking. Ideal to use as either a starter or plenary! Give students a mini white board and marker pen for instant feedback! Also includes a Computational Thinking Recap slide prior to the quiz itself. Please leave a review!

This poster was created to promote awareness of digital footprints to my students. Within it I include information on both active and passive ways of generating a digital footprint which is always an eye opener for my students! Suitable for promoting digital citizenship and digital competence. Feel free to use this within your own classroom!

How do you use feedback in your classroom? Effective provision of and use of feedback is a key element towards developing both independent and confident learners. Aimed towards KS3 classes, this resource includes both an effective feedback poster as well as an accompanying introductory lesson. Suitable for all subjects!

A quick reference poster which I’ve developed to help develop independent learning skills within computer science lessons. The sheet includes key words, programming techniques, data types, flowchart symbols and examples of writing algorithms in both flowcharts and pseudocode. Suitable for KS3 and KS4, I have included both jpg and PNG versions. ***Please leave a review!

Included in pack - PDF and PPT versions. Includes; Procedures, Functions, IF then Else statements Loops (Repeat, Forever, Forever IF) Getting around (Moving jumping techniques) Game based (Scoring, collecting objects, timers) Scratch specific techniques (Broadcasting, variables, costumes) Bouncing off things (edge of screen, walls) Creating a scrolling background Ideal for KS3, but also suitable for KS2. Also includes flowchart diagrams to help explain the concept of the programming. *****************************************Please leave a review!***************************************

Has technology improved our lives or has it actually made our lives worse? This poster was created to promote debate within the classroom within my year 11 students to prepare them for their computer science exams. I have included a range of topics with positive, negative and thought provoking questions for students to consider. The topics covered are also suitable for GCSE ICT exams. Please leave a review!

Download my popular Twitter poster here! If you’re students struggle with tough exam questions, get them in the habit of applying computational thinking to the problem. This poster provides students a guide on how to apply the concepts of computational thinking to tackle tricky exam questions. I have included both a PDF and JPEG version 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.

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!

My latest poster shows how the understanding of Computational Thinking underpins all concepts of the Digital Competence Framework (DCF). I have given examples of how each concept can be applied to primary strands of the framework. Feel free to download and use as part of CPD sessions! ***Please leave a review!***

***Updated! Now includes hardware & software definitions, utility software and embedded software! Download my free poster to support your GCSE computer science students prepare for their exams. The poster includes information the following areas of computer systems: Computer system diagram including components of the CPU, motherboard, storage and connections Peripheral devices (input & output devices and storage systems [magnetic, optical & solid state]) Software (examples of operating systems and application software) Von Neuman architecture Key components of a computer Memory & storage Factors affecting the performance of the CPU Update: High Resolution 2560x1440 in both PNG & JPEG format ***Please leave a Review!!!

This poster was created to accompany the KS3 computer systems work, however is also applicable for primary computing. I have identified the key components of a computer and presented them along with real life image examples of the internal components of a computer. Please feel free to download and display on your classroom walls!

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! This resource contains two revision clocks for both paper 1 and paper 2 topics for the AQA GCSE Computer Science specification as well as instructions to support their use. Note: it is recommended that the posters are printed out on A3 paper for best effect.

This handy poster is a great revision tool to help your GCSE computer scientists prepare for their computational thinking problem solving paper! Although focused around Edexcel specification, it is also easily applicable for others. This poster will help your students to both understand what the pseudo code means within exams as well as help them write their own, well structured pseudo code. Update: High Resolution 1440x2560 in both PNG & JPEG Please leave a review

Use Blooms Taxonomy thinking skills to incorporate Computational Thinking Concepts within your lessons. This poster cross references Blooms Taxonomy thinking skills with the concepts of Computational Thinking in order to support your delivery of these concepts within the classroom. Suitability ratings are also provided in order to identify how computational thinking concepts can be linked to their relative thinking skills. ***Please leave a review!

I created this resource as a Homework activity to consolidate the learning of Huffman Coding for year 10 Students. Teachers - The magic word is 'ABRACADABRA', however students need to show all their working out in order to score full marks. Marks are awarded for showing the following: Place each character in the correct place at the start of the Huffman tree (1 mark). Correct position of each node on the Huffman tree (5 marks). Correct binary allocation (1 mark). Correct allocation of each character to a binary number (5 marks). Work out the magic word (3 marks) Max 15 marks
