  • theoretical background: know - want to know - learned 
  • sharing of existing knowledge and skills in teaching computer science and computational thinking among the participants.
  • SAMR model, iPadagogy Wheel, 24/7 mode or learning to plan digital literacy at the nodal points of learning
  • strategies for building students' competences in the subject area of computer science
  • planning a lesson from the perspective of building pupil competences
  • choosing effective strategies in teaching
  • algorithmizing, programming without a computer, with a computer, with robotic tools - 
  • encryption and coding, unplugged and Tinkering activities

Ƶing objectives

The main objectives of this program are to:

  • plan and implement meaningful teaching of Computer Science at primary and secondary level
  • use the Digital Literacy document at the key stages of education
  • incorporate digital skills into the curriculum
  • entice pupils to explore coding and programming around us
  • share ideas within the professional community, both in and out of school

Methodology & assessment

The course is designed to be interactive. Participants will work in groups and also as a part of a team. They will receive links to resources that they can use to develop their own digital competences and those of their pupils. They will use critical thinking, e.g. to evaluate when and how they can use the offered/new tool. At the end of the course, each participant will prepare a plan for the development of their digital competences as well as for the development of the digital competences of their pupils.
