24 ChatGPT prompts for Primary and Secondary teachers who teach Computing Today, I've taken a different approach with my #ChatGPT prompts for Computing. Given the way Computing sits in the curriculum, I'm sharing 6 prompts for KS1, KS2, KS3 and KS4 directly informed by the requirements of the National Curriculum for Computing. The prompts are shared across three categories, Lesson Planning, Workload Reduction and Resource Creation. I've also tried to recognise that at KS4, the requirement is normally embedded cross-curricularly rather than discretely in its own lessons. I hope that they resonate and of course, that you find them useful. Let me know what you think!

I'm not a ranty type of individual but why oh why am I only discovering this almost a year later while I was searching for something else? Those organisations who claim to be advocates for Computing in schools really need to up their game... gov.uk/government/publicatio…

Thanks to some trains today, finally finished this! If you intend to teach programming it’s worth a read even if you already have good knowledge. I’ve already stolen a few ideas to use in the classroom! Thanks @Baggiepr
