OCR GCSE Computer Science Unit 1.4 Wired and wireless networks (Concept map)

The concept map contains most if not all of the key concepts students are required to know for their OCR GCSE Computer Science Unit 1.4 (Wired and wireless networks) and how the key concepts are linked together.

Concept maps are versatile resources that can be used by teachers in a variety of ways:

The concept map can be used as a knowledge organiser that can be distributed to students, to be placed on classroom walls to give a visual representation of what the unit contains, placed on the school’s website under the curriculum section to give more detail about the Computer Science curriculum to prospective students parents or as an available revision resource for students, or simply as a reminder to the teacher so that none of the key concepts are missed during class.

As a lesson activity or formative assessment a partially completed version of the concept map could be distributed to students, and the students could be tasked with completing the concept map. This is a good check to see if your students have retained the key concepts of the unit.
