UK Interactive Entertainment (UKIE) - Digital Schoolhouse
Linking primary and secondary schools to universities and the games and technology industry to raise teacher confidence.
Digital School House
The Digital Schoolhouse sought to ensure that London schools led the way for Computer Science education; focusing in particular on years 5 to 7, taking advantage of significant changes in the curriculum to develop innovative teacher training.
Primary school teachers reported increased understanding of the new Computing curriculum and awareness of resources. Teachers said workshops helped them embed computing concepts in a way that avoid being “dry and one-dimensional”.
Secondary teachers reported improved knowledge and understanding of the new Computing curriculum and pedagogical approaches, increased confidence levels in delivery, and an ability to use and embed resources and materials with secondary school students.
Secondary school leaders reported that the programme was seen to help “encourage girls into computing”, inspiring an interest in programming amongst girls.
