Year 2, Lecture 2

2. Pupils should be taught…
how to plan and give instructions to make things happen [for
example, programming a floor turtle, placing instructions in the right
order]
to try things out and explore what happens in real and
imaginary situations [for example, trying out different colours on an
image, using an adventure game or simulation].

3. Pupils should be taught…
 how to create, test, improve and refine sequences of instructions to
make things happen and to monitor events and respond to them [for
example, monitoring changes in temperature, detecting light levels and turning
on a light]
 to use simulations and explore models in order to answer 'What if ... ?'
questions, to investigate and evaluate the effect of changing values and
to identify patterns and relationships [for example, simulation software,
spreadsheet models].

8.  One of the things you hear from the
businesses is that 'I don’t just want
people who are literate in
technology, I want people who can
create programs.’ I think that is a
real wake up call for us in terms of
our education system and we are
acting on that.”
 The narrowness of how we teach
children about computers risks
creating a generation of digital
illiterates
