Computer Science: Digital Literacy [L1]

This Computer Science Scheme of Work is Lesson 1 of a 7 week project for KS3 students (who have 1 lesson a week). It focuses on basic ICT skills, so is ideally suited for Year 7 students. It is a great introductory resource for new Year 7 students.

This is lesson 1 of the 7 lesson course. Lesson 1 covers:

• Understanding how to login to the School Network
• Creating a structured folder management system
• Learning to stay safe in the ICT classroom

Lesson 1 is free! The other lessons are available at a low price, and to grab a bargain, select the bundle package.

The skills this entire Scheme of Work covers include:

• Logging into the School Network
• Deciding class rules
• Creating folders
• Staying safe in the ICT Classroom
• Keyboard Shortcuts
• Skills using Microsoft Word
• Skills using Microsoft PowerPoint
• Staying Safe Online
• Cyber Bullying
• Skills using Microsoft Publisher
• Using Technology securely (Passwords, Emails, Viruses)
• Each lesson begins with objectives and outcomes being introduced to the students.

Worksheets (including differentiated tasks) are included, along with two homeworks which are linked to the SOW.

There is room for two assessments during the SOW. However these assessments are NOT included (only blank slides are left), due to different schools assessing student work in varying ways. However if you want the assessments linked to this SOW I am more than happy to provide them for free if required, when this SOW is purchased.

The main SOW is generated using Microsoft PowerPoint, and the information appears using basic animations, so students can experience the information one part at a time.

The linked worksheets are provided in Microsoft PowerPoint, Publisher and Word.

All resources are FULLY editable, so they can be adapted to suit the needs of your students.
