In episode three, Mari-Jane Paterson and Gavin Morrison from the Connected Falkirk team are joined by Steve Bunce from XMA to discuss the benefits of coding and computational thinking. We then take a deep-dive into the app-design activity Steve has worked on with pupils throughout Falkirk and hear from Ms Archibald and some of her P7 pupils from Carron Primary about their experiences of designing their own apps. 

We focus the discussion around our three main tenets which are: Easy because the life of a teacher is hard enough, Compatible because these ideas should work alongside existing practice and Useful because we’re teachers too, we want to know about things that actually work in classrooms.
