Barefoot Computing at School, Available on Maestro
News
25th March 2022
Developed by teachers for teachers, Barefoot Computing produces engaging and accessible computing lessons which are steeped in research and expertise. Their goal has always been to boost primary subject knowledge, save time and bring excitement into the classroom. Based on these shared values, our new partnership with Barefoot has led to us having a fully sequenced computing curriculum available on Maestro.
Schools with access to Maestro will have the ability to deliver the computing curriculum using downloadable lessons and resources that have been mapped to the Cornerstones knowledge and skills framework. Barefoot’s lessons have been sequenced and grouped into projects for each year group to make adding them to your curriculum easier. Links to Cornerstones projects have been made in individual lessons where appropriate.
Areas of coverage include:
- Staying safe online
- Algorithms
- Programming and debugging
- Using data
Barefoot makes computing easy to teach and fun to learn, with or without a computer, and teaches children about the use of technology.
Tip: You will need to register on the Barefoot website and create an account to download the resources. Your account can be created free of charge. Barefoot also offers online guides and CPD workshops.
