During the lockdown, I have received a few emails from
teachers about what we can do to keep abreast of curriculum changes and also
develop our subject knowledge, and pedagogical content knowledge. Here are my
recommendations.
General pedagogy, teaching and learning:
Dylan Wiliam’s latest videos offer some input and then a
discussion point which you can have with yourself, an online community or your
peers: LINK
ResearchED have had some incredible speakers. Take your pick
from Daniel Willingham, Becky Allen, Sam Sims, Nick Rose, Daisy Christodoulou,
John Sweller, John Hattie, Dylan Wiliam, Pedro De Bruyckere and more: LINK
I'm a big fan of the Teach Like a Champion blog as it discusses techniques in written form and then shows a relevant video. The current posts reflect on remote teaching and the previous posts are based on the classroom and sports coaching: LINK
Tom Sherrington’s Kitchen pedagogy series. This series focusses on research-informed ideas: LINK
As mentioned in my last post, we are essentially communicators and public speakers. One of my favourite videos for how to engage and speak publicly:

GCSE Computer Science
There are new specification changes from Sept 2020. OCR have
launched their new GCSE Computer Science course J277 and Paul Long has
discussed the changes on this excellent post. A summary of the key differences
are on the last page: LINK
Technocamps have a range of “activity packs” mainly aimed at
KS3 and KS4 and they are great for teachers too: LINK
If you want to become more fluent in Python programming, the
Little book of
algorithms might help.
I am also a big fan of these two sites:
Cambridge Nationals in Creative iMedia
There are some great tutorials for content on these
channels:
Photoshop
tutorials - For those of you who do not have Photoshop, Photopea is an excellent free online
alternative
GCSE Stretch and A-Level Computer Science:
Isaac Computer Science launched their full content this
week. There are lots of mini exercises and the explanations are clear and
concise. All the material is written by current or former A-Level Computer
Science teachers who I respect.
Two years ago, I took to learning PyGame as so many of our
students were interested in making games for their A-Level projects. These two
sites are (almost all you need):
If you just want some useful videos for you and your A-Level students, I’ve curated a playlist here
Finally, if you're interested in CS Ed Research,There is:
Lots of videos from the Cambridge Computing Education Research Symposium
The CS Ed Research Book Club?
