No materials for the event yet, sorry!

Jigsaw programming is very visual but this doesn't help us to say it out loud - how should we? It is a known problem that people are diverse in the way they read out loud a computer program, and that this may indicate a problem regarding their understanding the program. This workshop will demonstrate an early prototype of a Snap! microworld with limited commands and using turtle graphics to help the development of a 'speaking' literacy with regard to Snap! programs. Participants who enjoy designing or are interested in pedagogy for early programmers will practically take the prototype further in small groups or as individuals to explore the ideas and improve the practice.
