In Italy, as like in the other country , is quite different it depends what grade of school you considered, what part of our country, or what kind of teacher (I means teacher open in trying to understand and approcce new sistem of teaching, or not). Recently our government introduced some important law and regolaments to improve computing skills in our schools.

In my schools the students learn how to use software but they didn't write code yet and they didn't work whit robot.

In my country primary school teachers usually have a weak scientific formation. It makes hard the development of computing teaching.

In my school there are few teachers interested in computing teaching. At the beginning of this year I proposed to plan a project on coding or educational robotics, but I couldn't find enough support.

Students learn how to use simple software like MS Word but they have no idea of what writing code is. I try to teach coding by using "code.org" activities.

In Italy ITC is mandatory only at secondary schools where students learn basic skills (internet browsing, word, power point, excel or access) at the first two years, if they choose technical schools, they can study algoritms, basic C++, html, php the last three years. So they are able to use basic software but not all can write a code. I believe very much in ITC so starting from my school I am strongly promoting the diffusion of robotics (Lego or Arduino) at all educational level.

In our school we combine computing teaching with activities meant to reinforce the students' knowledge in some areas of learning. We teach the use of the most common software with specific activities that help students (Excel for Maths or Geography, Word for Italian or other languages, etc.).

In Greece computing has been introduced in education in each grade of the primary education quite recently. For many years students were taught some of the topics presented in this module's videos in the secondary education for two hours per week. Students are taught almost avery topic mentioned in them. The use of software, to my experience, relies more on the exposure that a students have to such software at home. They do enhance their skills in school. They are also taught basic concepts on coding, but very few show interest in using it outside their classroom. And of course there is almost no interest on robots. The topic of esafety was considered for many years a minor problem. Fortunately it has become a major one these last years and there are many projects on it especially. As a teacher of literature (ancient and neogreek) and history I'm interested to learn more on how my subject matters relate to computing.

In our school computing teaching is now part of the curricula of the 1st graders in primary schools.

In Italy the situation is quite varied both from the structural point of view and from that of the integration of ICT in teaching. The southern regions have benefited from European funds to acquire technology infrastructure, those in the north have done along other roads. In recent years it is spreading the coding starting from primary schools. The Ministry is promoting the use of coding in schools but are still those few that are used, in addition to software or applications, robots and other devices. In my school, for the moment, I am the only one to have started children coding through the portal of time code and using the app Scratch Junior.

Italy, unfortunately, despite the excellence in computing, has not made much use of technology in schools, especially in primary schools, not to mention the coding, concept that only two years ago came into our schools andIt not quite yet understood. In my school I asked the teachers to participate in the queues week (7-13 December), and it was a good opportunity to introduce the coding to school. The students take turns using the computer in labratorio informatics and practice with the basics of coding.

The school, as a first approach to coding, has decided to participate in the project "Programme the future"

The project includes two different paths: one basic and five advanced. The basic mode of participation, called The Hour of the Code, is to be undertaken by the students one hour of introduction to computational thinking. A more advanced mode of participation is otherwise to be followed in this first hour of start of the routes more depth, developing the themes of computational thinking with more lessons. They can be carried out in the rest of the school year.

All my Italian colleagues have wonderfully given a picture of Computing in our schools.

One aspect is the most relevant one, that is situation is highly different from school to school and from region to region. Apart from experimental projects or initiatives, this year with the new Education Low (the so-called La Buona Scuola) this topic seems to have gained the foreground on a national basis. However, apart form recommendations, still a lot of things have to be done before we can state that Computing is a real context in Italy.

What is the situation of computing teaching in your country? I think it is not a bad situation, some autonomous communities are beginning to include coding in its curriculum.

Do students learn how to use software? Yes, they do. We have a table from Year 1 to high school with all the skills which they have to achieve.

Do they already write code? Yes, they do. We have done some projects with scratch.

Do they work with robots?Yes, they do. They do as extra lessons.

Do they explore topics such as esafety? Yes, they do. It is very important to learn it.

Teachers are starting to talk about computing. This year the Italian Education Ministry is pushing schools, especially Primary Schools, to coding and digital development. Projects and many activities are promoting computing and training events want to focus teachers' interest on this topic. My students are quite expert at using computer, softwares in a creative way. As eTwinning Ambassador I have been trained in digital tools. About esafety and digital literacy in general I am not so prepared and I have never talked about it at school. At the moment in my school students are doing some activities to learn how coding is and to use it to make games.

In Italy since 2014 it has started an experimental project by the Ministry of Education. However, many schools are in a special situation with regard to technical equipment, since the country is for the economic crisis for the new government policy is going through a very difficult time. Therefore nationally we are witnessing a strong differentiation between the different schools. There are schools that have undertaken the experience of coding other than a lack of suitable instruments you have been prevented from doing so. Across the country, however, they are spreading initiatives by private associations in the this sector. In Italy the Ministry of Education (Ministry of Education) organized an experimental program " Programma il futuro" aimed  with the aim of providing to all the schools a set of tools simple, fun and easily accessible by train students to the basic concepts of computer science.

The situation in my country is fairly varied, some parts of Italy are tuned with coding robotics , softwares etc.. ; this happens in particuar in the northern part of Italy, but there are also some areas in the south too. As far as my school is concerned, I must say that it is too traditional type of school. Teachers ,even those who teach maths, are npt up-to-date in their methodology, so nobody write codes, some use internet or some software, but there is not enough preparation on how to integrate coding and programmin with subjects, unfortunately. I think that in my school I am the only teacher who tries to bring innovation into the classes. This might be good, but some students do not understand why I am so different in my approach and some of them get disoriented. Consequently I feel sad and frustrated because my primary intention is to help my students not to harm them. Therefore I think that all this can be carried out in a proficient way when there is a team or a group of teachers who drive to the same direction

I think primary and secundary schools here in Mexico specially public and some privete schools, doesn´t have clear or even more have a poor curriculum in computing. Some of the private schools are really engaged with the learning of computer literacy, and some of these are too engaged with computer science curriculums. At my school, we are introducing computer literacy to be use as tools for students, and we are introducing programming with scratch  (at secondary).

I think students really learn how to use software, i think it is easy for them because they already use tehcnology.

At secondary coding really represents dificcult, so they don´t code, and only some students that are interested in the area, can use or program robots. Esafety it is an impotant topic at my school, because it is understand that internet it is a great "world" but it has danger in it. I am interested in this course because i am relativily new teaching at this private school that it is really engaged with student learning,

Despite several independent initiatives that take place in Portuguese schools, I believe it has not yet implemented a true online curriculum for learning computing in schools. The curricula include ICT in education according to a user's logic and promptly creating a computational perspective. Students edit text, images, videos, they do multimedia presentations, publish content on sites, exchange messages through online systems using office software or commercial production tools. About 15 years ago, I organized a laboratory at the school where the children were building small applications using the LOGO language. They were simple games that resulted from the problem-solving and the development of simple algorithms. This initiative never had clear support at school eventually work only for two years. I still find that computers in the school should be used as tools to develop creativity and problem solving so that students share knowledge and solutions that they themselves create using computers as cognitive tools.

Students use many cloud apps for their activities like: Padlet, Edmodo, Tackk, Prezi, Emaze, Bubble, Examtime, Dipity, Moovly, etc.. and software like: Active Inspire, Scratch, Sketchup, Gimp, LibreOffice, MovieMaker, etc...

In my classes students are encouraged to access to the online learning environment (edmodo) to collaborate and share their ideas and products. We experience the teaching in virtual worlds on the platform of INDIRE, Edmondo, but also students work and build in this world.

In most schools in Brazil, we have only the use of ICT for production jobs and web searches. the work is usually very restricted to text editors, audio and video, creating webradios or podcasts. With my classes, young children were still wearing educational games, such as GCompris, which stimulate the reasoning and logic ability, but do not dare get into coding or programming and robotics. Teachers are not prepared for it. This was the reason for so much interest for this course!

As I couldn't do mod. 1 last week, there is not much I can add. Only that it differs a lot from school to school (speaking about secondary schools). In addition to the work defined by the Ministry of Education, there are, in several schools, a good range of initiatives related to computing or robotics.

In Spain we don't have a specific subject about computing in primary schools. But many teachers, knowing its importance, are using computing as a tool, mostly as ITC. We don't have computins or coding classes . So some of us have to learn by ourself, like in this course and tehn try to carry out in our classes little by little.

In Italy we don't have a specific subject about computing until higher secondary school (KS-4). We do have the subject of technology in middle school, but it doesn't really cover much of ICT.

We use computing as a tool in mostly every subject, though. This is very much demanded to ther personal choices of teachers.

Good news is that there is an ongoing coding surge, initiated by teachers and supported by the government. Many Italian school got involved in the "programma il futuro" initiative.

In Portugal this year that he began to teach in primary schools some programming, through the project "Introduction to Programming the 1st cycle" but that most schools protuguesas does joined. Still hesitate a discipline of ICT for students aged 11 to 13, where some of the history of computing is taught, internet security and some applications that are taught. In some schools there are projects where he teaches coding.

It is so new in our country. There are a few schools have computing teaching. ICT teachers teach basic computer skills in computer lessons. And our schools opportunities are not balanced. Our student only use computer technology they don’t create a technology about software. There are a few schools that do this professionally.

In my country, we don't have yet a culture about computing at school. In the school, where I teach this year, there's a great attention to computing. I hope it's a first step to continue.
