2. What are the biggest challenges you face as a teacher when it comes to the new Computing Curriculum? (8.11 pm)
3. How are you planning to engage the children when teaching the new Computing Curriculum? (8.21 pm)
4. Are any of you adopting a cross curriculum technique of teaching by combining the new Computing Curriculum with other subjects i.e Maths or Literacy? (8.31 pm)
