Students learn to use variables, constants, operators, inputs, outputs. The use of the three basic programming constructs used to control the flow of a program:
Sequence, Selection, Iteration (count- and condition-controlled loops) The common arithmetic operators. The common Boolean operators AND, OR and NOT.
Sequence
Selection
Iteration
Variables
Constants
Data Types
Programmers, Developers, Software Engineering, Systems analyst, Systems Security, Web developer.
Awareness of online applications. Creating accounts. Sharing of personal information when signing up to use online apps.
As students’ progress through their learning they will consider more complex social needs and are encouraged to research and work collaboratively to find appropriate solutions to issues that may affect particular groups within society.
How developments in technology have changed our culture, particularly the rise in social networking sites and the ability to communicate instantly across National and International borders. Computing involves the breaking through of linguistic and cultural barriers. It is possible to email or chat across the world and to word process in the mother tongue.
Computing Literacy
Maths: Boolean Connectors. Arithmetic operators. Maths problems to be solved in code, such as area of shapes, angles of shapes, average calculations and formulas.
