Barefoot Collaborating approach

What is collaborating? Collaborating means working with others and it frequently achieves the best results. Teachers plan together and observe one another to develop good practice. Collaboration motivates us to persevere with tasks which might otherwise seem too confusing or difficult. Computer scientists and software engineers often draw on or improve upon others’ work and […]

Barefoot Why is computational thinking important?

Computational thinking is the building blocks of our digital world, with the concepts forming the basis of much computer science. Computer scientists are interested in finding the most-efficient ways to solve problems, maximising accuracy and minimising resources (e.g. time / space). They look for solutions which can be applied elsewhere to save resources in the […]

Barefoot creative /systemic thinking

Computational thinking is about looking at a problem in a way in which a computer can help us to solve it. This is a two-step process: First, we think about the steps needed to solve a problem. Then, we use our technical skills to get the computer working on the problem. For a computer animation, […]

Barefoot Persevering approach

What is persevering? Persevering is being determined, resilient, tenacious – never giving up. Albert Einstein said: “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” Computer programming is hard. This is part of its appeal – writing elegant and effective code is an intellectual challenge requiring not only an understanding […]

Barefoot Debugging approach

What is debugging? Bugs are errors in algorithms and code. Debugging is the process of finding and fixing these and it can often take much longer than writing the code in the first place. There can be errors or in logic and syntax. We can think of errors in logic as parts of a story […]

Barefoot Creating approach

What is creating? Creating is about planning and making things. Some endeavours involve various media each providing an outlet for creative expression. Software and digital media allow scope for creativity and, by mastering software tools and digital devices, we develop confidence, competence and independence which we can use playfully, experimentally and purposefully in the expression […]

Barefoot Tinkering approach

What is tinkering? We often try out something new to discover what it does and how it works: this is tinkering. It’s closely associated with logical reasoning. Pupils build up experiences of cause and effect: “If I move this, then this happens.” It’s a big part of independent learning, without teacher lead. For young children, […]

Barefoot Evaluation

What is evaluation? Evaluation is about making judgements, where possible in an objective and systematic way. Every day, we make judgements about what to do and what we think, based on a range of factors. When considering a new digital device for the classroom, there are a number of criteria: operating system, portability, memory size, […]
