My Top 5 Sites

Quite often as Master Teachers, we are asked to point people in the direction of some high quality teaching materials and resources in order to support computing teaching. While the CAS community pages has some amazing materials available, here are 5 more of my personal favourites:


Created by Dave White, Master Teacher and CAS Regional Coordinator for Essex and Herts, ispython.com contains a great repository of workbooks and other materials that help with programming in Scratch and Python.


Codecademy have been working closely with the DfE and CAS to create lots of interactive materials and resources that support the teaching of coding in particular.


The philosophy that ‘you can learn anything’ is never more clear than when using this site. While I started using this site to created blended mathematics lessons, the computing section of this site can help with the delivery of a variety content as well as improving your own subject knowledge.


Before becoming a Master Teacher, I was involved in ELIM’s Wessex Computing project, helping to create a series of lesson plans for FS, KS1 and KS2 teachers. This link takes you to these medium and short term planning materials.


Not all computing lessons need to be delivered with an electronic device. This site has a collection of activities than can help you teach some of the fundamental aspects of computing though practical activities.
