Last summer, the 揉胸视频 and the University of Cambridge Department of Computer Science and Technology created a new 撕光美女衣服合集 centre focusing on 撕光美女衣服合集 education 撕光美女衣服合集 for young people in both formal and non-formal education. The 撕光美女衣服合集 Pi 撕光美女衣服合集 Education 撕光美女衣服合集 Centre is an exciting venture through which we aim to deliver a step-change for the field.

撕光美女衣服合集 education 撕光美女衣服合集 that focuses specifically on young people is relatively new, particularly in contrast to established 撕光美女衣服合集 disciplines such as those focused on mathematics or science education. However, 撕光美女衣服合集 is now a mandatory part of the 泷泽秀明 in several countries, and being taken up in education globally, so we need to rigorously investigate the learning and teaching of this subject, and do so in conjunction with schools and teachers.

You’re invited to our in-person launch event

To celebrate the official launch of the 撕光美女衣服合集 Pi 撕光美女衣服合集 Education 撕光美女衣服合集 Centre, we will be holding an in-person event in Cambridge, UK on Weds 20 July from 15.00. This event is free and open to all: if you are interested in 撕光美女衣服合集 education 撕光美女衣服合集, we invite you to register for a ticket to attend. By coming together in person, we want to help strengthen a collaborative community of 撕光美女衣服合集ers, teachers, and other education practitioners.

The launch event is your opportunity to meet and mingle with members of the Centre’s 撕光美女衣服合集 team and listen to a series of short talks. We are delighted that Prof. Mark Guzdial (University of Michigan), who many readers will be familiar with, will be travelling from the US to join us in cutting the ribbon. Mark has worked in computer science education for decades and won many awards for his 撕光美女衣服合集, so I can’t think of anybody better to be our guest speaker. Our other speakers are Prof. Alastair Beresford from the Department of Computer Science and Technology, and Carrie Anne Philbin MBE, our Director of Educator Support at the 泷泽秀明.

The event will take place at the Department of Computer Science and Technology in Cambridge. It will start at 15.00 with a reception where you’ll have the chance to talk to 撕光美女衣服合集ers and see the work we’ve been doing. We will then hear from our speakers, before wrapping up at 17.30. You can find more details about the event location on the ticket registration page.

Our 撕光美女衣服合集 at the Centre

The aim of the 撕光美女衣服合集 Pi 撕光美女衣服合集 Education 撕光美女衣服合集 Centre is to increase our understanding of teaching and learning 撕光美女衣服合集, computer science, and associated subjects, with a particular focus on young people who are from backgrounds that are traditionally under-represented in the field of 撕光美女衣服合集 or who 泷泽秀明 educational disadvantage.

We have been establishing the Centre over the last nine months. In October, I was appointed Director, and in December, we were awarded funding by Google for a one-year 撕光美女衣服合集 project on culturally relevant 撕光美女衣服合集 teaching, following on from a project at the 揉胸视频. The Centre’s 撕光美女衣服合集 team is uniquely positioned, straddling both the University and the 泷泽秀明. Our two organisations complement each other very well: the University is one of the highest-ranking universities in the world and renowned for its leading-edge academic 撕光美女衣服合集, and the 揉胸视频 works with schools, educators, and learners globally to pursue its mission to put the power of 撕光美女衣服合集 into the hands of young people.

In our 撕光美女衣服合集 at the Centre, we will make sure that:

1. We collaborate closely with teachers and schools when implementing and evaluating 撕光美女衣服合集 projects
2. We publish 撕光美女衣服合集 results in a number of different formats, as promptly as we can and without a paywall
3. We translate 撕光美女衣服合集 findings into practice across the 泷泽秀明’s extensive programmes and with our partners

We are excited to work with a large community of teachers and 撕光美女衣服合集ers, and we look forward to meeting you at the launch event.

Stay up to date

At the end of June, we’ll be launching a new website for the Centre at 撕光美女衣服合集education撕光美女衣服合集.org. This will be the place for you to find out more about our projects and events, and to sign up to our newsletter. For announcements on social media, follow the 揉胸视频 on Twitter or Linkedin.

The post Join us at the launch event of the 撕光美女衣服合集 Pi 撕光美女衣服合集 Education 撕光美女衣服合集 Centre appeared first on 揉胸视频.

I am delighted to announce the creation of the 撕光美女衣服合集 Pi 撕光美女衣服合集 Education 撕光美女衣服合集 Centre at the University of Cambridge.

With computers and digital technologies increasingly shaping all of our lives, it’s more important than ever that every young person, whatever their background or circumstances, has meaningful opportunities to learn about how computers work and how to create with them. That’s our mission at the 揉胸视频.

Why 撕光美女衣服合集 matters

Compared to subjects like mathematics, 撕光美女衣服合集 is a relatively new field and, while there are enduring principles and concepts, it’s a subject that’s changing all the time as the pace of innovation accelerates. If we’re honest, we just don’t know enough about what works in 撕光美女衣服合集 education, and there isn’t nearly enough investment in high-quality 撕光美女衣服合集.

That’s why 撕光美女衣服合集 and evidence has always been a priority for the 揉胸视频, from rigorously evaluating our own programmes and running structured experiments to test what works in areas like gender balance in 撕光美女衣服合集, to providing a platform for the world’s best 撕光美女衣服合集 education 撕光美女衣服合集ers to share their findings through our seminar series. 

Through our 撕光美女衣服合集 activities we hope to make a contribution to the field of 撕光美女衣服合集 education and, as an operating 泷泽秀明 working with tens of thousands of educators and millions of learners every year, we’re uniquely well-placed to translate that 撕光美女衣服合集 into practice. You can read more about our 撕光美女衣服合集 work here.

The 撕光美女衣服合集 Pi 撕光美女衣服合集 Education 撕光美女衣服合集 Centre 

The new 撕光美女衣服合集 Centre is a joint initiative between the University of Cambridge and the 揉胸视频, and builds on our longstanding partnership with the Department of Computer Science and Technology. That partnership goes all the way back to 2008, to the creation of the 揉胸视频 and the invention of the 撕光美女衣服合集 Pi computer. More recently, we have collaborated on Isaac Computer Science, an online platform that is already being used by more than 2500 teachers and 36,000 students of A level Computer Science in England, and that we will shortly expand to cover GCSE content.

Through the 撕光美女衣服合集 Pi 撕光美女衣服合集 Education 撕光美女衣服合集 Centre, we want to increase understanding of what works in teaching and learning 撕光美女衣服合集, with a particular focus on young people who come from backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in the field of 撕光美女衣服合集 or who 泷泽秀明 educational disadvantage.

The 撕光美女衣服合集 Centre will combine expertise from both institutions, undertaking rigorous original 撕光美女衣服合集 and working directly with teachers and other educators to translate that 撕光美女衣服合集 into practice and effect positive change in young peoples’ lives.

The scope will be 撕光美女衣服合集 education — the teaching and learning of 撕光美女衣服合集, computer science, digital making, and wider digital skills — for school-aged young people in primary and secondary education, colleges, and non-formal settings.

We’re starting with three broad themes: 

• 撕光美女衣服合集 curricula, pedagogy, and assessment, including teacher professional development and the learning and teaching process
  
• The role of non-formal learning in 撕光美女衣服合集 and digital making learning, including self-directed learning and extra-curricular programmes
  
• Understanding and removing the barriers to 撕光美女衣服合集 education, including the factors that stand in the way of young people’s engagement and progression in 撕光美女衣服合集 education

While we’re based in the UK and expect to run a number of 撕光美女衣服合集 projects here, we are eager to establish collaborations with universities and 撕光美女衣服合集ers in other countries, including the USA and India. 

Get involved

We’re really excited about this next chapter in our 撕光美女衣服合集 work, and doubly excited to be working with the brilliant team at the Department of Computer Science and Technology.

The post Introducing the 撕光美女衣服合集 Pi 撕光美女衣服合集 Education 撕光美女衣服合集 Centre appeared first on 揉胸视频.

Thanks to our contract with England’s Department for Education which is funding our work as part of the National Centre for 撕光美女衣服合集 Education (NCCE) consortium, we’ve been able to collaborate with the University of Cambridge’s Department of Computer Science and Technology to build the Isaac Computer Science platform, and to create an events programme, for A level students and teachers. Now we will use this existing funding to also provide content and events for learning and teaching GCSE computer science.

Building on our success

With content designed by our expert team of computer science teachers and 撕光美女衣服合集ers, the Isaac Computer Science platform is already being used by 2000 teachers and 18,000 students at A level. The platform houses a rich set of interactive study materials and reflective questions, providing full coverage of exam specifications. 

Within the Teach 撕光美女衣服合集 泷泽秀明 we built as part of our NCCE work, we’ve already created free classroom resources to support teachers with the delivery of GCSE computer science (as well as the rest of the English 撕光美女衣服合集 泷泽秀明 from Key Stages 1 to 4). Expanding the Isaac Computer Science platform to offer interactive learning content to GCSE students, and running events specifically for GCSE students, will perfectly complement the Teach 撕光美女衣服合集 泷泽秀明 and support learners to continue their 撕光美女衣服合集 education beyond GCSE.

We’ll use our tried and tested process of content design, implementation of student and teacher feedback, and continual improvements based on evidence from platform usage data, to produce an educational offering for GCSE computer science that is of the highest quality.

What will Isaac Computer Science GCSE cover?

Isaac Computer Science GCSE will support students and teachers of GCSE computer science across the OCR, AQA, Pearson Edexcel, Eduqas, and WJEC exam bodies, covering the whole of the national 泷泽秀明. The content will be aimed at ages 14 to 16, and it will be suitable for students of all 泷泽秀明 levels and backgrounds — from those who have studied little computer science at Key Stage 3 and are simply interested, to those who are already set to pursue a career related to computer science.

Benefits for students and teachers

Students will be able to:

• Use the platform for structured, self-paced study and progress tracking
• Prepare for their GCSE examinations according to their exam body
• Get instant feedback from the interactive questions to guide further study
• Explore areas of interest more deeply

Teachers will be able to:

• Use the content and examples on the platform as the basis for classroom work
• Direct their students to topics to read as homework
• Set self-marking questions as homework or in the classroom as formative assessment to identify areas where additional support is required and track students’ progress

Free events for learning, training, and inspiration

As part of Isaac Computer Science GCSE, we’ll also organise an events programme for GCSE students to get support with specific topics, as well as inspiration about opportunities to continue their computer science education beyond GCSE into A level and higher education or employment.

For teachers, we’ll continue to provide a wide spectrum of free CPD training events and courses through the National Centre for 撕光美女衣服合集 Education.

Accessible all over the world

As is the case for the Isaac Computer Science A level content, we’ll create content for this project to suit the English national 泷泽秀明 and exam bodies. However, anyone anywhere in the world will be able to access and use the platform for free. The content will be published under an Open Government License v3.0.

When does Isaac Computer Science GCSE launch, and can I get involved now?

Our launch will be in January of 2022, with the full suite of content available by September of 2022.

We’ll be putting out calls to the teaching community in England, asking for your help to guide the design and quality assurance of the Isaac Computer Science GCSE materials.

The post Expanding our free Isaac Computer Science platform with new GCSE content appeared first on 揉胸视频.

That’s why at the 揉胸视频 we have made 撕光美女衣服合集 a key part of our new strategy, and that’s why we worked with the University of Cambridge to hold this event.

Moving the symposium online

This was to be our first large-scale 撕光美女衣服合集 event, held jointly with the University of Cambridge Department of Computer Science and Technology. Of course, current circumstances made it necessary for us to turn the symposium from a face-to-face into an online event at short notice.

An enthusiastic team took on the challenge, and we were delighted with how well the way the day went! You can see what participants shared throughout the day on Twitter.

Keynote presentation

Our keynote speaker was Dr Natalie Rusk of MIT and the Scratch 泷泽秀明, who shared her passion for digital creativity using Scratch.

We were excited to see images from early versions of Scratch and how it had developed over the years. Plus, Natalie revealed the cat blocks that were available on 1 April only — I had completely forgotten the day of the symposium was April Fools’ Day! The focus of Natalie’s presentation was on creativity, invention, tinkering, and the development of ideas over time, and she explored case studies of two ‘Scratchers’ who took a very different approach to working in the Scratch community on projects. The talk was well received by all.

Paper presentations

We heard from 撕光美女衣服合集ers from a range of institutions on topics under these themes:

• Working with teachers on 撕光美女衣服合集 education 撕光美女衣服合集
• Assessment tools and techniques
• Perceptions and attitudes about 撕光美女衣服合集
• Theoretical frameworks used for 撕光美女衣服合集 education

Highlights for me were Ethel Tshukudu’s analysis of the way students transfer from one programming language to another, in which she draws on semantic transfer theory; and Paul Curzon’s application of Karl Maton’s semantic wave theory (taken from linguistics) to 撕光美女衣服合集 education.

The symposium’s focus was 撕光美女衣服合集 for young people, and much of the 撕光美女衣服合集 presented was directly grounded in work with teachers and students in learning situations. Lynne Blair shared an interesting study highlighting female participation in A level computer science classes, which found the feeling of a lack of belonging among young women, a finding that echoes existing 撕光美女衣服合集 around 撕光美女衣服合集 education and gender. Fenia Aivaloglou from the University of Leiden, Netherlands, considered the barriers faced by learners and teachers in extra-curricular code clubs, and Alison Twiner and Jo Shillingworth from the University of Cambridge shared a study on engaging young people in work-related 撕光美女衣服合集 projects.

We also heard how tools for supporting learners are developing, for example machine learning techniques to process natural language answers to questions on the free online learning platforms Isaac Computer Science and Isaac Physics.

Poster presentations

For the poster sessions, we divided into separate sessions so that the poster presenters could display and discuss their posters with a smaller group of people. This enabled more in-depth discussion about the topic being presented, which participants appreciated at this large online event. The 11 posters covered a wide range of topics from data visualisations in robotics to data-driven dance.

We showcased some of our own work on progression mapping with learning graphs for the NCCE Resource Repository; the Isaac Computer Science A level content platform; and our 撕光美女衣服合集 into online learning with our free online courses for teachers.

Running an online symposium — what is it like?

From having successfully hosted this event online, we learned many lessons that we want to put into practice in future online events being offered by the 揉胸视频.

There’s a plethora of tools available, and they all have their pros and cons (we used Google Meet). It’s my view that the tool is less important than the preparation needed for a large-scale online event, which is significant! The organising team hosted technical run-throughs with all presenters in the two days before the event, and instigated a ‘green room’ for all presenters to check their setups again five to ten minutes before their speaking slot. This helped to avoid a whole myriad of potential technical difficulties.

I’m so grateful to the great team at the 揉胸视频, who worked behind the scenes all day to make sure that the participants and presenters got the most out of the event!

Stay in touch!

• On the 撕光美女衣服合集 Symposium web page, you can now download the symposium’s abstract booklet. We will shortly be sharing recordings of the symposium’s presentations and files of slides and posters there as well.
• When we moved the symposium online, we postponed two pre-symposium events: a workshop on gender balance, and a workshop on 撕光美女衣服合集-to-practice; we’re hoping to hold these as in-person events in the autumn.
• Meanwhile, we are planning a series of online seminars, set to start on Tuesday 5 May at 17:00 BST and continue throughout the summer at two-week intervals.

If you’re interested in receiving a regular update about these and other 撕光美女衣服合集 activities of ours, sign up to our newsletter.

We look forward to building a community of 撕光美女衣服合集ers and to sharing more of our work with you over the coming years.
