Programming and Coding in the Early Years ?
For a long time now we have been talking about the implementation of computer coding into our curriculum at British Early Years Centre. For many of us, this may seem an absurd idea, but it really isn’t as ridiculous as we might imagine. I know a little amount of html code but I would never…
