“An outstanding book that can simply be picked up off the shelf as a means to inspire any teacher when delivering computing. Simon has shared these super quick ideas that will have impact in every classroom, from rubber duck debugging to pedagogical approaches in the subject. This is an excellent read!” –Matt Warne, Head of Computing and Digital Learning at RGS The Grange, CAS Master Teacher and Computing Champion, @MattWarne
“Read this if you teach Computing! Packed with lesson ideas but more importantly loads of nuggets of wisdom about pedagogy: research-informed techniques that work, all packaged into bitesize chunks you can read in your break, or put this on your summer reading pile to come back refreshed and raring to go in September. I will definitely be doing "code golf" (write a program to solve a problem in as few lines as possible), "crazy characters" (back to back drawing to teach the importance of clear instructions) and "intelligent pieces of paper" (introducing AI by playing noughts and crosses against a written algorithm). Simon has pulled together a goldmine of inspirational and powerful ideas which is essential reading for the Computing teacher.” –

“This book is amazing for trainee teachers, NQTs and the more experienced teachers. I have been a teacher for 6 years, feel I have the depth in subject knowledge but wanted exercises across the topics that were fresh, engaging and looked at cognitive load. This book ticks all the boxes and you can see from the amount of sticky tabs, what i am implementing from next term. Hopefully there will be a version 2 soon.” –
