ABSTRACT
Several barriers that for decades have obstructed the egalitarian advancement of computing teaching in schools are not exclusive to Brazilian reality. As a counterpoint, this article looks at the United Kingdom context and the transformation needs also identified there regarding teaching computing to school-age children. In view of this analysis, an updated vision for computing teaching is proposed that is broader in the concept of technological artifact, instead of the computer seen only as a means in which pedagogical resources are used, privileges the design and demands of the context of use, rather than the focus on logic, algorithm or programming and it relates to different areas of knowledge. In the end, the article presents simple suggestions for teachers who intend to teach computing in a way that children perceive tech.
