This project aims to provide teachers with a resource for teaching information technology, in order to help them to plan a programme of study for their pupils. It intends to enable the pupils to progress from beginners to a level of understanding which prepares them for Key Stage 3. Although intended for primary school use, the project can also be used in the early years of secondary school. The complete pack consists of project cards, a teacher's guide and two discs to be used on a BBC micro computer.
This project provides a structured instructional framework designed to facilitate the transition of primary school pupils from information technology novices to competent users prepared for Key Stage 3 curriculum standards. The authors, Cyril Gilbert and Ken Atkin, developed this resource to assist educators in planning comprehensive study programs. By integrating physical project cards with digital components, the authors provide a multi-modal approach to foundational computing literacy.
