Title:

The school computing curriculum

Location:

Archway 2 - 1:00 pm, Friday 22 July

Abstract:

The computing curriculum in schools is undergoing a huge change, which will lead to a very different background for our incoming students from 2014. In this session I'll explain the nature of the changes and their implications for teachers and for us. But I hope that the majority of the session will be a workshop / discussion that looks at some of the crucial new NCEA assessment Standards. It's very hard to design something useful within the constraints of the NCEA framework, and the current drafts of the new Standards have many problems. I'm interested in your feedback.
