Children can learn toanalyse problems and computational termsandapply computational thinking to solve problemswithout turning on a computer.This book shows youhow you can teach computing through 'unplugged' activities. It provides lesson examples and everyday activities to help teachers and pupils explore computing concepts in a concrete way, accelerating their understanding and grasp of key ideas such as abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation. The unplugged approach isphysical and collaborative, usingkinaestheticlearning to help make computing concepts moremeaningful and memorable.This book will help you to elevate your teaching, and your childrens learning of computing beyond the available hardware.
