HTTCS @ LGfL

UPDATE: my talk was warmly received, thanks to everyone who came to my stand later to talk to me, it was a fantastic day.

The content (actually a 12-inch remix version of my talk*) can now be found below. Also in the attached is a discount code for 30% off my books this summer at John Catt bookshop – read the embedded PDF below to find it!

*for the younger generation, a 12-inch vinyl single was an extended recording of the track, often up to 3 times longer than the 7-inch single.

I am delighted to be speaking and exhibiting at the LGfL “Let’s Celebrate II” conference in London on Friday 30th June 2023. I’ll be giving a talk on Powerful Knowledge in Computing, and I’ll also have a stand in the exhibition area where you can buy my books and lovely new merchandise:

I’ll be speaking on the topic below. Hope to see you there!

A Knowledge-Rich Computing Curriculum (that also pleases Ofsted!) – Alan Harrison alan@httcs.online

What is powerful knowledge in Computing? What are declarative and procedural knowledge anyway? How do I squeeze computing into my packed Primary curriculum? What must I deliver at KS4 for those that don’t take Computer Science GCSE? Alan wrote the book “How to Teach Computer Science” and is passionate about powerful knowledge in the important academic discipline of computing. Alan also served on the working group that created the Ofsted Research Review and has interviewed successful Deep Dive recipients. Attend this talk to be enthused by powerful Computing knowledge and also get some actionable tips to be relaxed about OFSTED’s next visit.
