Computing without computers

It is tempting to use computers for almost everything in computing lessons. However, providing activities such as role-play and creative writing, and using pencil and paper, can help clarify topics that can later be reinforced through computer use. For example, you could act out a binary search. The pupils can then discuss the algorithm used and try to implement it. CS Unplugged and CS4FN both have a range of resources for engaging pupils in active non-computer-based tasks.
