Follow on Google News | Codio launches ‘Ask the Experts’ video series on the best ways of teaching coding in schoolsCodio has released the first in a series of five-minute videos which provide comment from industry specialists on the best ways of teaching computer science and coding in schools. The videos will be featured on Codio’s Youtube channel.
By: Codio The ‘Ask the Experts’ series follows Codio’s recent roundtable event which brought together many computing specialists to discuss the best ways of delivering the new Computing curriculum in schools. Attendees included Will Burrows, Head of Education Technology and Commercial Services and Rob Leeman, Subject Specialist for Computer Science and ICT from UK exam board OCR, whose recent partnership with Codio will bring rich, curriculum-mapped teaching and learning resources into the Codio integrated development environment (IDE). The collaboration will recognise the teacher and student benefits associated with a “learning by doing” form of computer science education and ensure that all learners have the appropriate technology to learn computer science and coding successfully. Commenting on the videos, Co-founder of Codio Phillip Snalune said, “Our priority is to help teachers and students embrace computer science and coding. By offering insights from industry experts, we hope to support teachers as they get to grips with the new national curriculum, and inspire them to find new opportunities to bring computational thinking and coding alive for students in fun and engaging ways.” Alongside the ‘Ask the Experts’ videos, Codio will soon be launching two further series – Case Studies featuring exemplary schools who are using Codio in the classroom, and a ‘Team Codio’ series showcasing exciting new content and development updates. Stay tuned for OCR’s Rob Leeman in episode two of the ‘Ask the Experts’ series speaking about the new GCSE Computing specification, and how a platform such as Codio can help teachers facilitate student learning more effectively in the classroom.
