Summary
Physical computing involves using digital devices to sense and interact with the world – an engaging alternative to screen-only activity. Physical
computing touches upon many areas of the computing curriculum. Data loggers are digital devices which can record and store data over time.
Data loggers can store a range of information about the environment around them, such as temperature, light levels or sound.
During this CPD, you’ll explore how data loggers can be used in the classroom to support the teaching of the KS2 computing curriculum. You’ll
find out how the data loggers and their related software work, gain hands-on experience of using them to collect a range of data and how to use
them with pupils to collect, analyse, evaluate and present a range of data.
The National Centre for Computing Education has developed a data logger physical computing kit that can be borrowed from your local
Computing Hub, following your CPD.
