Digital Technologies Teaching Resources for NCEA: Programming and Computer Science

Latest update: 25 Aug 2012

Guide to resources

The material that was temporarilly on this page has now all been moved to the NZACDITT collection of resources. This is an extensive collection of material to support teachers using the new Computer Science and Programming standards for NCEA.

Draft resources for feedback

The following documents have been prepared by students at the University of Canterbury to support teaching the new Achievement Standards in Programming and Computer Science. The students need feedback from teachers on the suitability of the resources; we'd particular appreciate any feedback by 21 May 2011. Please send any thoughts to Tim Bell

Standard AS91075 (1.45 and 2.45): A tutorial on using Pseudocode (this covers structures up to the complexity needed for 2.45, but the basic idea of Pseudocode is useful for 1.45).
Parts of standards 2.44, 2.45, 2.46 using robotics and the 12blocks language: The Magic Robot and Binary Number Representation in LED lights
