The Teach Computing Curriculum is broken down into 4 key stages: Ages 5-7, Ages 7-11, Ages 11-14, and Ages 14-16.
Curriculum Information:
- Resources include lesson plans, slides, activity sheets, homework, and assessments
- Each key stage has a teacher guide and curriculum map to help you get started
- Built around an innovative progression framework where computing content has been organized into interconnected networks we call learning graphs
- Created by subject experts, using the latest pedagogical research and teacher feedback
All of the content is free for you to use, and in formats that make it easy for you to adapt it to meet the needs of your learners
This lesson will be used in conjunction with Code.org's Course 1 Curriculum - https://studio.code.org/s/course1. For the class period after completing Lesson 5 - Maze: Debugging, students will use Wonder Workshop's Dash robots in groups to create and debug their Dash robot from one place to another in a preassigned part of the classroom using the Blockly app on their iPads.
