There’s a lot of resources out there for teaching Computing.
Finding resources is never an issue, there are anywhere between 10-30 new
resources uploaded onto CAS every week. However, it’s sometimes difficult to
follow a single scheme of work when presented with so many different resources.
We also have our own preferences. The list below is based on the resources I have found most useful. This is by no means a finite list. There
are many teachers out there who create resources but do not host these publicly
or centrally on one single site. Those that do are listed below. Feel free to
add more suggestions in the comments.
mrocallaghanedu.wordpress.com Mr O Callaghan is a Computing teacher who loves pedagogy. Like David Didau,
Alex Quigley and Harry Fletcher Wood, he is an outstanding blogger. He frequently
applies techniques based on educational researchers and cognitive psychologists
such as Willingham, Kirby and Wiliam.
teachwithict.weebly.com Wonderful site of resources and thinking from CAS master teacher Simon Johnson
teachcomputing.wordpress.com Self-taught Computing teacher Alan O’Donohoe presents his thoughts and
resources for teaching Computing. If there is an example of someone who has
re-defined himself from novice to expert, it’s Alan.
