7 Apps for Teaching Children Coding Skills It's hard to imagine a single career that doesn't have a need for someone who can code. Everything that "just works" has some type of code that makes it run. Coding (a.k.a. programming) is all around us. If you're concerned that that a) elementary school students don't have the ability to code, b) there's no room in the curriculum, and c) you don't possess coding chops to teach programming skills, throw out those worries. In no particular order, we have listed all the coding apps that are appropriate for young learners.

Homepage - Te Kete Ipurangi (TKI) Flashcards: The world's largest online library of printable Form Time Ideas Workshop Resources Goofram - Google and Wolfram Alpha Side by Side Goofram is a mash-up of Google Search and Wolfram Alpha search. Enter your search term(s) into Goofram and it will display relevant results drawn from Google and Wolfram Alpha. Goofram really shines when you're searching for information about a topic that could potentially have a lot of numerical information as well as text-based information. For example, when I searched using the phrase, "first person to climb Mount Everest," the result was a column of links, generated by Google, to articles about Mount Everest and a column of statistical information, generated by Wolfram Alpha, about Mount Everest. (click the image below to see my Goofram results page). Applications for EducationGoofram could be a good resource for science and mathematics students conducting online research.

Inclusion and “Every child matters”…or do some matter more than others? | edjitraining What is inclusion? For me, inclusion is not simply the toleration of all pupils, but the active provision of opportunities for all to feel good about themselves and to have the chance to flourish, whatever their individual needs and potential barriers to learning might be. Equal moral worth Let’s start with the premise that all people have equal moral worth, irrespective of colour, gender, ability, ethnicity, religion, age or sexual orientation. Principle of difference Secondly, according to Lord Bhikhu Parekh’s Runnymede Trust report cited above, there exists the principle of difference. Recognising racism - Racism is not simply a moral issue. Inclusion in schools Reinforced by the Equalities Act (2010), not to mention the Race Relations (Amendment ) Act (2000) , teachers are supported by a raft of legislation that seeks to ensure that no child is left out of the health giving spa waters of our education system. Why it’s important Overall, the exclusion rate is 9 in every 10,000 pupils.

Ofsted 2012: Independent learning — From Good to Outstanding Banksy “Not all aspects of learning, for example pupils’ engagement, interest, concentration, determination, resilience and independence, will be seen in a single observation.” – April 2013 This is the only reference to independent learning in the latest Ofsted schedule. In the 2008 DCSF Independent learning literature review, the first key finding was, unsurprisingly that there are many definitions in operation regarding independent learning. “There are a number of different terms used to describe independent learning, the most common being ‘self-regulated learning’. Implication Any reference to, or promotion of independent learning will need to be supported by a clear and consistent definition of independent learning. Do we detect here a similar problem here to the one about judging creativity? (It wouldn’t be productive for me to re-purpose the review. All teachers know that independence doesn’t just happen.
