CAS Hubs
WHAT IS A CAS HUB?
A CAS HUB IS A MEETING OF TEACHERS
WHO WISH TO SHARE THEIR IDEAS FOR
DEVELOPING THE TEACHING OF
COMPUTING IN THEIR SCHOOLS, THEIR
CLASSROOMS AND THEIR COMMUNITY. IT
IS A MEETING OF LIKE-MINDED
INDIVIDUALS WITH THE GENERAL
OBJECTIVE OF SUPPORTING EACH OTHER
AND THE SPECIFIC AIM OF PROVIDING (AT
LEAST) ONE IDEA THAT CAN BE TAKEN
AND TRIED IN THE CLASSROOM.

A Hub provides opportunities to have:
• Face to face networking with peers in the area over
a cup of tea or coffee
• Open discussion of shared issues, such as how to
introduce the new computing curriculum,
• Taster CPD sessions where programming languages
and tools are demonstrated,
• Sharing of learning and resources which should help
teachers in their day to day work.
Why should teachers attend a Hub meeting?

The Computing at School (CAS) group aims to promote computing education in UK schools. It is supported by various partners including BCS, Microsoft, and Google. The document discusses the growth of CAS over the past year, including the development of 10 new regional centers to support communities of computing teachers. It also highlights various resources available to teachers, such as a magazine called SWITCHEDON that shares ideas and best practices, and a BCS teaching certificate program to help teachers gain accreditation in computing education.

The document discusses how e-learning can help develop soccer coaches, players, and volunteers. It estimates that by 2010, there will be 25 million English-speaking soccer participants with broadband internet access. E-learning is suggested to help learners gain knowledge themselves and support their development. Video, user-generated content, and interactive content are identified as most effective for e-learning. The document provides examples of e-learning tools like blogs, forums, and presentations that can help organize and deliver content online.

How, When, Why to Get Started with Online Community

Small World Labs

Organizations of all shapes and sizes are increasingly looking to private online communities as a means to connect with and engage their base. However, building and sustaining a thriving online community is no simple task. In this presentation, we dive into all things "online community." From a high-level perspective, we provide specific insights into the reasoning for, timing of, and considerations involved with launching an online community. We then highlight a specific use case from a member-based organization that traveled along this path and emerged with a valuable asset for the organization and its members.

Best Practices Community Partnerships

Bonner Foundation

This document discusses strategies for strengthening partnerships between Bonner programs and community partners. It proposes organizing students and partners around issue-based teams to take on higher-level roles that build partner capacity. Web-based tools like Wikis and online forums are presented as ways to facilitate information sharing, project management, and networking among campuses. Challenges in implementing these approaches include partners' limited resources and preferences for lower-level volunteer placements. The document seeks feedback on how to address these challenges and support stronger campus-community collaboration.

Drive Member Engagement through Revitalized Chapter Events

Designing for Openness: Values Based Organisations Place in the Digital Lands...

Ronald Macintyre

Digitisation, open and online, digital innovation, digital participation, all press on and ask questions of values based organisations. Based on work with a range of Third Sector partners over a number of years this paper explores how values based organisation understand and find their place in messy landscape. Suggesting it is not always appropriate for values based organisations to adopt practices from private sector digital disruptors, as these start with different assumptions and values, but instead develop their own approaches based on their organisational values and the needs of the people they support. Using work with a range of partners in different sector, from Health and Social Care to Trade Unions the paper looks at how values based organisations have approached this tension. Sharing what has been learnt from working in partnership, and how this has informed a mutual understanding of how to design and produce digital artefacts and critically the social and situated nature of how they are used.

The Jewish Trinity : Sabbath,Shekinah and Sanctuary 4.pdf

JackieSparrow3

we may assume that God created the cosmos to be his great temple, in which he rested after his creative work. Nevertheless, his special revelatory presence did not fill the entire earth yet, since it was his intention that his human vice-regent, whom he installed in the garden sanctuary, would extend worldwide the boundaries of that sanctuary and of God’s presence. Adam, of course, disobeyed this mandate, so that humanity no longer enjoyed God’s presence in the little localized garden. Consequently, the entire earth became infected with sin and idolatry in a way it had not been previously before the fall, while yet in its still imperfect newly created state. Therefore, the various expressions about God being unable to inhabit earthly structures are best understood, at least in part, by realizing that the old order and sanctuary have been tainted with sin and must be cleansed and recreated before God’s Shekinah presence, formerly limited to heaven and the holy of holies, can dwell universally throughout creation

Editor's Notes

Computing At School: Helping Schools to embed the Computing Curriculum Education should prepare young people for jobs that do not yet exist, using technologies that have not yet been invented, to solve problems of which we are not yet aware (Richard Riley). The aim of the new computing curriculum is very much about preparing our young people for their future and this process is being watched with interest (and envy) by the rest of the world: USA, Singapore, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Denmark, Norway… However, the introduction of a completely new school subject does bring with it some problems, not the least of which is encouraging, supporting, and equipping the teachers of the nation to deliver the new Computing curriculum with confidence and enthusiasm. During this session you will find out how Computing At School (CAS) are supporting thousands of teachers through the CAS Hubs network, how the Hubs are providing access to bespoke CPD resources for primary and secondary schools which have been funded by Microsoft, in addition to a host of other resources shared via the CAS community. You will find out how your school can sign up to become a Hub or where the nearest Hub to your school is so, that your school can get the support it needs.
