Roamer Part of CAS Primary Training Programme

Published January 25, 2014 | By Kate Hudson

CAS (Computers At School) is charged with the task of training English Primary School Teachers to deliver the new Computing Curriculum from September 2014. In recognition of Roamer’s potential to support the new curriculum initiative with exciting examples of the key concepts Valiant have been asked to run free workshops at the 6 Regional Training events.

You will get the opportunity for hands on experience of programming Roamer in activities that deliver the computing curriculum in a way that consolidates learning of other STEM Subjects.

Roamer’s provides a scaffolded approach to learning programming. Important commands are introduced gradually, in a way that build students skills and experience.
