We reflect briefly on the difference between ICT and computing. The first session sets primary school computing within the historical context of educational computing and present policy. I provide an overview of Syemore Papert’s work. I introduce you to BYOB Scratch and you use it to explore a few simple exercises in turtle graphics before using it to copy or create more complex shapes. I brief you on the module assessment.
