Digital Skills training for Key Stage 3 teachers
In December, CCEA will be providing a series of one-day courses aimed at Key Stage 3 teachers of discrete ICT/Computing. The courses are available to book through the Training & Support section of our website. Below is a brief outline of their content.
In this short video, Principal Michael O’Kane shares how he is developing coding through the school; where this fits in within the Northern Ireland Curriculum and the benefits and learning opportunities it presents for his pupils.

You will also begin to use Bootstrap to make your website responsive. This course is aimed at discrete ICT/Computing teachers with little or no experience of web design.
