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!
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.

Download my poster which includes example task ideas on how to apply computational thinking problem solving skills to Drama. The poster includes a range of tasks and classroom ideas that use key computational thinking skills!
*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!
