關於這本電子書

The project-based activities nurture creative skills and give learners the opportunity to make decisions and develop projects that matter to them. Stage 2 projects focus on everything from designing a new piece of technology to navigating a maze, giving children the tools to build key computing and ICT skills, linking the five strands of theory to the practice of computing, and showing learners how computers work.

• Collins International Primary Computing series provides in-depth coverage of the Cambridge curriculum frameworks for Primary Computing (0059) and Primary Digital Literacy (0072), as well as the UK national curriculum for Computing at primary level.
• Each chapter enables students to develop their computing and digital literacy skills through a fun, practical and relatable project. Stage 2 helps learners to create a document to showcase an area of your school to new students, design a new piece of technology, make a program that allows a character to take a photo of an object in Scratch, collaboratively design and navigate mazes and solve a problem in their school.
• Learners will build their understanding throughout the stage, using a rich variety of sources with an international focus to support their learning.
• With regular opportunities for discussion, group work, investigation and design, the Student’s Book and Workbook encourage active learning throughout. This includes ‘unplugged’ learning to explore concepts and foster computational thinking skills. Each chapter concludes with an opportunity for learners to build and showcase their own work, consolidating their learning through self or peer assessment and reflection.
