A key part of the PGCE Computing Course is continuous self-assessment, via skills audits. I will use these audits to assess my personal computing skills, and my knowledge and confidence in teaching computing at Key Stages 1 and 2. Having completed this at the beginning of the course, I will now analyse the results and create an action plan to direct my self study. The plan will be posted on this page, and should help to develop my skills, and help me to become a better, more reflective practitioner. The grades below relate to my self-assessed level of competency and understanding. A I am very competent and confident. B I am competent and confident. C I have an adequate level of competence but wish to strengthen my skills. D I feel competent at few or no aspects and need considerable training and support. Level of knowledge and/or skill in the following: KS 1 Floor Turtles e.g. Bee-Bot, Pro-Bot B KS 1 Programming Language e.g. ScratchJr, Daisy the Dinosaur, Lightbot C KS 2 Programming Languages e.g. Scratch, Kodu D KS 2 Physical computing devices e.g. Crumble controller, Codebug, Makey Makey D Computer Networks (E.g. LAN, Internet, workings of search engines) A Presentation Software (E.g. Prezi or PowerPoint) A Spreadsheets A Databases A Graphics C Video Editing (E.g. Movie Maker) A Music Creation and Podcasting (E.g. Garage Band, Audacity) B Animation (E.g. I can animate App) C Blogging A Twitter A Facebook A Mobile App Publishing (E.g.
