Summary
This conference is ideal for any teachers working in special schools who are looking at adapting the computing curriculum for their pupils in creative ways to support life skills, literacy and numeracy. It will also provide practical ideas for using physical computing devices to teach programming. Teachers working in mainstream primary settings with students with special needs will also find it of benefit.
We plan to offer workshops on:
- supporting literacy and life skills through unplugged computational thinking activities
- programming activities with physical computing devices such as Raspberry Pi and Crumbles
- using iPad apps to engage and include students in computing,
- online safety and digital literacy
- assessment
We also hope to publish the results of a survey and research into Computing for SEND pupils in England at the conference.
Outcomes
You will be able to:
- gain experience in how computing can support literacy and other subjects
- develop strategies for teaching computational thinking
- understand the range of physical computing devices for use with SEND learners
- develop knowledge of the key online safety and digital literacy messages in computing
- understand how to assess computing with pupils working below national curriculum levels
