Must be in your bag and off. This will be confiscated, if it is seen or heard by your teacher.

Each computer has a pair of these incase you require sound. You must not use your own at any point and they should not be seen in class.

You will be assigned a seat by your teacher. You will sit in this seat each lesson and must not move without your teachers permission.

You should bring expected equipment each lesson

You are not allowed drinks, or food in the computer room. All food and drink must be kept in your bag while in the classroom.

I will be professional and polite. I expect the same in return. I expect you to be polite at all times to everyone.

Reflection

WHY?

It is important to reflect on the past.  We can learn from it, improve and become better people when we properly reflect.

What topics have you covered in Computer Science to date

What was your favourite topic and importantly, why?

Which topic was the most challenging and why?

With independent learning tasks, which statement best matches you?

I completed all ILTs last year to the best of my ability

I did most of them, so a good standard

I did a couple because my ALT was poor

I didn't do any

What were the barriers to your learning last year?

Can you suggest some good practices or advice to overcome any of these barriers

Overcoming barriers

• Use MS Teams to stay on top of work and meet deadlines
• allocate time outside of school to complete work
• Ask for help when stuck
• Use school equipment if you don't have suitable at home
• Be responsible for lessons you miss (email, teams)
• Remind yourself of the benefits to doing well and give 100%
• Always stay positive and look for the positives. 

Independent Learning Tasks

•  Set each half term
• On MS Teams
• Must be completed and submitted back to your teacher (via teams, email)
• You can only get a 1 for ATL when these are completed at a good level
• Repeated failure to complete them will result in a ATL 3 score

Why is Computer Science important?

Potential areas raised

• Meeting needs of the many (climate change, unemployment, simulation modelling etc...)
• Advancements in healthcare (data mining)
• Education (research, clouds, virtual learning, online courses)
• Communication (social media, video calls, apps)
•  Automation and AI (prediction, data analysis, cost saving, life saving in hazardous situations)
• Problem solving - At the heart of CS is the ability to solve a problem, which is a life skill

A future in Computing?

• Computing is often in top 5 most desirable degrees to take in UK
• Jobs include - Scientists, Technicians, Instructors,  Consultants, Linguists, Designers, Administrators and Data analysts
• Starting salaries range between 21-30k
• Average salaries range between 45-65k (Over £25 per hour)
• Top tier salary can be in excess of 80k
• Over 80% employment rate post degree
• Serious gender gap making it a greater prospect further for women

Do you think Computer Science is important in your life?

😒🙁😐🙂😃

Is it something you might consider as an option in the future (eg A Level?)

Yes, without question. I want a job in this sector

Yes, because the skills are highly valued and I enjoy it

Maybe. I haven't thought about it enough yet

No, I don't think computer science is important for me

No, I don't enjoy the subject at all

Final thoughts and Pledge.
Take 5 minutes to write your final reflection (include what you will do to be successful and your plans for the future)
