What topics have you covered in Computer Science to date

Which topic was the most challenging and why?

With SmartRevise revision obligations how would you rate yourself

I repetitively met the expectations of revision using SmartRevise

I used some aspects of Smartrevise regularly but not consistently

I only used it when my ATL was being flagged as 3 or less in order to raise my ATL

I rarely used it, despite poor ATL grading

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. 

SmartRevise Expectations

• 2x20 min sessions per week in out of lesson time
• Focus on all 3 elements (Quiz, Term, Advance) for set focus
• Work through all syllabus areas over time
•  

Evidence

Why and how it works...

Demo of last year data and impact.

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 something I will want to persue

Pledge
I want you to plan a response here for a pledge you will all make to yourselves and me this year. I will explain and you can make notes here. You will email your pledge to me
