A/AS Level Computer Science for OCR Digital Teaching Programming (2 Years)
A new series of print and digital resources developed for the 2015 OCR and Eduqas A/AS Level Computer Science qualifications. Containing a structured series of detailed programming projects designed for various abilities, this classroom resource provides a lesson-by-lesson plan for teaching different programming techniques, using engaging and relevant scenarios. Including tasks, annotated sample answers in different programming languages, common errors and solutions, each programming project can be used across several lessons for programming practice and coursework preparation. This online resource will help teachers who are new to the subject or those returning after teaching ICT, with detailed guidance on teaching programming.
