At the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the Educator Support team have been spending a lot of time thinking about how they are approaching progression throughout the NCCE Resource Repository resources. In this month's episode, we hear from members of the team about their approach to progression developing Learning Graphs and how they expect these to be used by educators. Also this month, I speak with Oliver Quinlan, Head of Impact and Research at the Raspberry Pi Foundation, about the upcoming Research Symposium. Thanks to all our guests for their contributions to this episode, and a special thanks to Oliver Quinlan for our intro theme built from Commodore 64 sounds.

This month we’ve decided to focus a whole episode on a single aspect of pedagogy and how it applies to teaching computing. Back in September the National Centre for Computing shared its first Pedagogy Quick Read focused on Cognitive Load Theory. I sat down with Duncan Maidens from the Raspberry Pi Foundation to talk about the importance of considering cognitive load when designing teaching activities. Thanks to Duncan Maidens for his contributions to this episode, and a special thanks to Oliver Quinlan for our intro theme built from Commodore 64 sounds. You can (and should) contribute your thoughts and expertise by emailing the team or by leaving us a voice message, which we may include in a future episode. We want to make a podcast that is both interesting and useful to computing educators, and to do that we need your help.

We’re following up our inaugural episode’s exploration of the reasons for teaching computing with a discussion about what we mean when we talk about ‘computing’. During episode #2, we address the following questions: Computing is a rapidly evolving field, with technology advancing at a rapid pace — are there ideas at the core of computing that are constant and consistent? How do we as teachers relate these big ideas to our everyday teaching? Given that computing is broad and multidisciplinary, do our individual experiences influence how we view and ultimately present the subject to our learners?

Announcing an official media partnership with the SXSWedu® Conference & Festival In conversation with Richard Taylor, UK-based angel-investor in c.12 edtech start ups Recorded at Bett, you'll hear what Taylor believes are: The 3 lessons for edtech success What he thinks of accelerators, distributors and teacher pension schemes And why he thinks part of our latest obsession with coding is a red herring. Sample Quotes (@dick_taylor) Investing in early stage start ups is like a horse race. Only the horse race takes seven years and half of them you need to take out and shoot. Sometimes you make money but actually the better lesson is when you lose money. When I first started in education i didn't really care what it was or if it had any impact. If it made money that was all I really cared about. The ones that are more likely to be successful are the ones that have a teacher in the founding team 'When schools buy or use edtech there is a big cost, but also a big opportunity cost.' 'Schools buy million pounds worth of stuff pretty much how the local football club buy sausage rolls for their fundraising night' Don't forget to subscribe to The Edtech Podcast on iTunes or Stitcher.
