Integrating Computer Science Across the Core is a guide to systematizing computer science and computational thinking practices in your school. While most books explain how to teach computer science as a stand-alone discipline, this innovative approach will help you leverage your existing curriculum to deepen and expand students' learning experiences in all content areas. Effective, equitable, and sustainable, this blueprint provides principals, curriculum directors, directors of technology, and other members of your school or district leadership team with suggested organizational structures, tips for professional learning, and key resources like planning instruments.

The Kagiso readers series is an illustrated graded reading scheme for the foundation phase, which presents a range of situations and contexts authentically and realistically. These readers will enable learners to develop literacy skills incrementally and with confidence to motivate them to read further. Reading is integrated with other aspects of language, thus developing listening, speaking, writing, thinking and reasoning skills, as well as language structure and usage. Available in the following languages: English, Afrikaans, Siswati, Sesotho, Xitsonga, Tshivenda, IsiZulu, IsiXhosa, Setswana, Sepedi, IsiNdebele.

Teach computing with confidence, whatever your level of subject knowledge. A component of the Oxford International Primary Computing series, Teacher's Guide (levels 1-3) gives you the tools you need to grow students' digital literacy and develop their computational thinking and programming competence. Providing support at every level, this guide provides expert guidance and support for delivering compelling lessons at every level. Within each stage, key concepts are covered to give learners not only the skills they need to use technology effectively, but also the knowledge in how to do so creatively, safely and collaboratively.

The process of integrating technology into education often overlooks that technology is a sign; it is not a neutral message conveyor, but rather a material artefact placed into a context inevitably subject to culture. In an original and novel combination, Decoding Technology Acceptance in Education brings together two academic domains not previously pursued together, yet which diverge in many ways: cultural studies and technology acceptance studies. Drawing on empirical data, Stockman demonstrates that teachers activate a meaning-making process through encoding and decoding signs around technology as an artefact of culture, and as a result their acceptance behaviour and decisions rely on the dynamics of the cultural whole to which they belong. In this study, technology acceptance is revisited as an issue of cultural negotiation; the common approach, which provides an instrumental view on technology as a neutral tool, is insufficient for the topic of technology acceptance. Rather than proposing yet another model of technology acceptance, Decoding Technology Acceptance in Education offers a renewed frame of mind and the conclusions it provides are of vital importance to the theoretical and practical advancement of technology acceptance studies, as well as to the practical integration of technology into education. Providing original empirical evidence for the influence of culture on educational decision-making, the book raises awareness for the importance of cultural research in areas where it has been under-considered. This book will be of great interest to researchers, academics and postgraduate students engaged in the study of technology acceptance and technology use in education, as well as those interested in cultural studies.

Amazing Applications and Perfect Programs explores operating systems, computer programs, sorting and storing files, databases, and the programs that allow users to have fun with words, pictures and sounds.

The purpose of this book is to reach out to teachers, parents, coaches, and students who may be hoping to, or just investigating the possibility of, how to get started with robotics. At the same time, we hope to leverage the efforts of those who have been hard at work and "play" in this massive movement for many years, applaud their efforts, and provide them with documentation, support, and additional resources to reach further into the possibilities they can help create for all of us in bringing the power and potential of learning through robotics to more students, to the classroom and beyond. Not only does this book provide resources and firsthand insight into this exciting field, but it also provides one-of-a-kind perspectives of curricular applications of robotics for student learning.

Teaching with ICT prepares pre-service teachers across the three phases of learning to understand the role technology can play in teaching and learning. This book encourages students of teacher education to apply their understanding of pedagogy to using ICT in the classroom. The focus is on teaching with ICT rather than on teaching ICT. The book aims to empower students with problem-solving skills related to the availability and logistics of technology, and gives them the confidence to introduce a range of digital resources into their teaching. With practical examples of ICT use in the classroom, this book is a valuable resource for both pre-service teachers and teachers. It is aimed at students taking BEd modules on 'using ICT in teaching and learning' and in-service teachers. The course, usually taught at second year, is variously called Computers in Education; Teaching Methods, Instructional Technology and Instructional Materials; Computer Skills for Educators; ICT and the Roles of the Educator; Educational Media and Classroom Competence; Information Communication Technologies for Learning (ICT); Computer Integration in the Classroom; Education I: Media in Teaching and Learning; ICT Integration into the Classroom.
