Growing up during the late seventies and eighties, Jon Silvera spent a great deal of time around early home computers. Having started his career in programming, he moved into sales and established a custom PC business in London before moving into software development with FastTrak Software. More recently, Jon has moved on to his own projects, including FUZE Technologies, where he created the FUZE; a programmable electronics and computing workstation, specifically designed to help with teaching computing.
The computing curriculum has been in place in schools across the UK for the best part of a year; enough time for both teachers and students to have adjusted to this new and challenging subject; in theory, at least. In reality however there is a huge discrepancy between the graphical ‘concept’ environments like Scratch, and the more complex text-based languages such as Python, both of which are used to teach students computing.
