Information, Advice and Guidance

Free to SLA Schools Telephone & Email Advice The CLC will endeavour to provide a telephone and email response service. However, if a query requires significant input, it must be taken as a consultation session. The CLC will advise when and if this applies.

Twitter Keep up to date with CLC activities and join the ever-growing teaching community using social media to learn and share ideas, by following @LdnCLC on Twitter. If your school has not yet joined the Twitter community, why not use one of your consultancy sessions to find out how to make the most of this very powerful form of social networking (see page 12).

Pupil Workshops at the CLC These practical days take place at CLCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clapham centre. The sessions are led by a CLC staff member but the class teacher is expected to take a leading role in teaching and organising the session. These workshops have been designed with reference to the new national curriculum programmes of study. Sessions have been split into specific support for delivery of the new computing programmes of study and sessions that enable new technologies to be integrated across the curriculum (technology enhanced learning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; TEL).

Computing Half-Day Workshops at the CLC Games Design for KS1

Code: WH02 Years 1-2

Pupils will use 2Simpleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2DIY and other software to design and program a simple computer game. Pupils will be challenged to write, debug and refine simple programs, thinking carefully about purpose and audience, and will use logical reasoning to make predictions. Teachers will have an opportunity to see how the design of computer games can be used to meet the requirements of the new computing curriculum.

Understanding Networks and the Internet KS2

Code: WH03 Years 3-6

In the new computing curriculum, schools are required to provide pupils with a basic understanding of the structure of the Internet. This workshop is all about delivering these new, and possibly daunting, learning objectives in an engaging and active way. Pupils will explore the inner structure of computer networks, the Internet and the world-wide web. Using a combination of interactive games and hands-on computer activities, including web design, the CLC will help transform your pupils from web-savvy Googlers to network conscious web-designers.

Robots and Computing KS1 and Lower KS2

Code: WH01 Years 1-3

This workshop is a great opportunity for pupils to use robots to understand and apply the skills specified in the new computing curriculum. Pupils will be supported in creating and debugging simple algorithms, and will use logical reasoning to complete a series of challenges. This workshop also offers teachers a chance to build their skills and expertise to deliver the new curriculum in school.

Children’s finished pieces of digital art can be saved in their art portfolios and/or shared on school blogs and websites.

Geography FieldTrip KS1

Code: WH04 Years 1-2

Using aerial photographs and plan perspectives, pupils will enhance their locational awareness by mapping their journey from school to the CLC. Pupils will research their route using Google earth, noting key human features along the way. They will then devise their own simple map using a variety of digital tools.

Cultural Learning and New Technologies – Mini Projects Following on from the success of last year’s projects, the CLC has developed a number of new partnerships with some of London’s leading arts and cultural organisations, enabling schools to use cultural learning as a context for creative work with new technology. NB. Portraits and Personality combines a cultural visit with a follow-up session at the CLC. Schools must commit to both sessions. Demand is expected to be high and places will be limited to one year group per school and will be offered on a first come, first served basis.

IBM Robo Challenge

Code: IBM

Use your SLA to take part in the 8th IBM Robo Challenge

For the last seven years the CLC has partnered with IBM to run the Robo Challenge. The project invites nine schools to put forward a small team of students (about six per school) from Years 5 and 6 to come together to take part in a competitive programming day using Lego NXT and its software. The school must commit to establishing a group of children to take part in the competition. These pupils will be supported by IBM mentors. The final event, on a Saturday in March, is fun, challenging and very rewarding. The pupils will be put through their paces with a series of challenges including programming robots to dance, racing and navigating a predetermined route, and presenting the team’s strategy to an unfamiliar audience. Although only a small number compete in the event, whole-class activity can be done in preparation.

In order to take part, schools will need to commit the following from their entitlement: • 1 x Lego loan • 1 x CLC twilight • 1 x Full-day pupil workshop either in school or at the CLC (optional) Please note, the Robot Challenge will be heavily subscribed. Priority will be given to those schools that have not been involved previously.

In-School Support These in-school sessions bring some of the CLC workshops into your school. Some sessions are designed so that the class teacher can work alongside a CLC tutor and others require small groups of children to be taken out of class to work on a specific task. For these sessions, it would be beneficial if a teaching assistant could support the CLC tutor to ensure that work can integrate into school practice. Some of these sessions may require schools to download specific software onto school machines. Sessions cannot run if the necessary freeware is not installed and tested on the school system. All workshops must be booked as full days.

Code: WS03 Years 5-6

1 full day divided into two half sessions for either Year 5 or Year 6 These half-day sessions, requiring little use of technology, will give a broad introduction to the Internet and the world-wide web. Starting with a brief exploration of the networks that exist within school or in the home, this session will help children conceptualise the infrastructure of the Internet and how this is used for the transfer of data. The session is very practical and involves some physical activities. A large space (eg the hall) will be required.

Datalogging in School KS2

Code: WS08 Years 3-6

Science and Maths Working with small groups, a CLC tutor will use datalogging equipment to lead a science investigation in your school. Pupils will also use technologies to report their findings. Investigations will be linked to your current science topic. This could include using sound sensors to find the noisiest classroom in the school, or using heart-rate monitors to see how exercise affects the body. We will work with a whole class over one day, taking each group for roughly one hour. We will require access to a small workspace for the day.

Housekeeping Satisfying school demand

Cancellation

Every effort will be made to ensure that schools are given their first choice. However, on occasion it may be necessary to provide an alternative allocation. This will be done in consultation with SLA coordinators to ensure that the alternative is agreeable and appropriate for the school.

The CLC will endeavour to operate a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no cancellationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; policy. However, unavoidable circumstances such as illness may occasionally require sessions to be cancelled. Where this occurs, the CLC will make alternative provision at the earliest opportunity. The CLC will not cancel CPD provision if numbers are low, although it may offer a more cost-effective alternative or occasionally postpone to increase numbers.

Service standards The CLC is accredited as an Apple Regional Training Centre and is an official trainer for Purple Mash. Staff at the CLC are qualified CEOP Ambassadors and ThinkUKnow Trainers. The CLC was recently awarded a NAACE (subject association for ICT) Impact Award 2014 - 2015 for the quality of its school support services and were named as Technologists of the Year 2012-2013 by the Association of Learning Technologists. The CLC has recently been accepted by Computing at Schools as a Lead Centre for the teaching of computing and computer science.

Complaints If a complaint is made regarding the CLC service, it will be investigated fully, with a response made within five working days. Complaints should be made by email to Julia Lawrence jlawrence@londonclc.org.uk
