Computing

In the light of recent news stories, this site may be of some use?

http://www.computingatschool.org.uk/

Attached is the curriculum, produced by a working party within CAS, describes in concrete terms what a Computing curriculum at school might look like.

It is not cast in stone, so please send feedback.
