How to teach coding with Rubik’s Cubes: exploring the PRIMM model in Computer Science
Details:
I will introduce two models of learning, one being the PRIMM model that is currently popular among computer science teachers, and one created by Charles Owen in the 1990s that describes learning for “design”, and relates to it many subjects. I will discuss the possibility of Owen’s model simulating PRIMM, and the applications PRIMM may have outside of the computing classroom.

Presentation Title:
Blended learning is here to stay!
Details:
The pandemic opened up a wealth of new tools and rapidly accelerated their adoption into traditional teaching. In this contribution, I will share the edtech toolbox I will keep beyond Covid-19. These consist of free, easy-to-use and no-fuss websites and apps that have proven to improve students’ engagement and intrinsic motivation. I will share concrete examples as to how digital tools can help build camaraderie and positive relationships in both a socially distanced and remote class setting. Lastly, I will present how video recordings of class content eased my workload and how a combination of online and offline work in a station rotation lesson can support teachers to give frequent, detailed and individual feedback to their students.

Presentation Title:
Cultural Capital….Whose Cultural Capital?
Details:
What does it mean for schools to deliver Cultural Capital? This needs to be deconstructed to enable educators to think more deeply about what Cultural Capital actually means and what it stands for. The ultimate question is whose Cultural Capital are we talking about? Is it the Stormzy versus Mozart choice that we are making? Or is it more profound than simply a choice between modern and classical? popular culture versus tradition and the test of time? And where does a drive for a Govian model of Cultural Capital leave class, race, gender equality?

The Ultimate Humor Equation to Augmenting Students’ Engagement in Class at all levels
Details:
Of late, it is becoming challenging, at times, to get students fully engaged in the teaching-learning process be it face-to-face, or online. This simple technique will enable teachers, educators, and practitioners to easily use an equation combining three main elements namely humor, student, and the lesson’s content to capture students’ attention and thus redirect his/her focus on the lesson.

Presentation Title:
Climate Change: A Safeguarding Issue?
Details:
With stigma and barriers in dealing with mental health dropping, the rise of eco-anxiety and the impacts of climate change becoming more tangible, now is the right time to put forward the argument that climate change issues should be considered when it comes to a school’s safeguarding duties. Framing the climate crisis as such will strengthen the argument to your SLT in moving the issue away from tokenism to whole-school agency.
