Before lockdown I created a large project to be delivered at KS3. It’s divided into three stages:
LO1 - Creating a 2D game using Python Turtle
LO2 - Creating a video game cover for the game they created using Photoshop
LO3 - Creating a leaflet to go with the game which gives tips on how to game safely online.
It was designed to cover all strands: Computer Science, ICT (with a big focus on Creative iMedia/Digital Media and E-Safety.
Scheme of work provided.
This has recently been updated to include the following:
2 x Homeworks with answers
1 Assessment with answers
1 workbook included on the advancement of DNA technology

CS21 - Network protocols (Including layers)
CS22 - Social engineering (Blagging, Phishing and Shoulder-surfing)
CS23 - Malware (Different types and prevention strategies)
CS24 - Network security (Brute-force, DDOS, Packet sniffers and prevention stategies (e.g. policies, penetration testing etc…)
CS25 - SQL & Data Structures (How to write SQL, SQL injection and prevention strategies)
CS26 - Defensive design (Authentication methods and Validation methods - how to add defensive design to your code)
CS27 - Testing (What is testing, why is it important?, Final/iterative, test data)
Each set includes a teacher and student version.
The rest will be part of a bundle.
NEW WJEC DIGITAL TECH RESOURCES!
A revision style workbook for students complete for revision or useful as a flipped learning activity.
Includes a teacher version with answers to supplement the student version.
NEW WJEC DIGITAL TECH RESOURCES!
Each lesson provided is for first-time teaching and they include the following components:
Starter activity – The starter is designed for knowledge retrieval, many people believe (including myself) that revision should start from the very first lesson. So each lesson the starter activity will include questions from previous topics to improve memory recall.
Exam practise – As much as we would like students to be great at exams, they need considerable practise and guidance to master the art. Each lesson includes a ‘walk and talk’ style exam question that students can work through and self-assess using the mark scheme provided.
Keywords – Each lesson will include a set of key words students will come across throughout the lesson. The really important key terms will include a definition and meaning which they can refer back to throughout the lesson.
New information – New concept is introduced and, in most cases, a video is provided which students watch and then answer a set of questions based around it. This is designed to provide some in-class discussion before moving onto the main activity.
Activity – Each lesson will include at least one activity that allows students to be more independent and dig a little deeper into the new concept. All activity sheets include answers.
Self-checker tool – This is a useful AFL tool in which students can check their understanding. The lesson could include a multiple-choice quiz which was built in Microsoft Forms.
FOR THE NEW WJEC GCSE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY COURSE STARTING IN SEPTEMBER 2021
This is part of a premium bundle and each lesson (just like this one will contain the following)
Full lesson with objectives, knowledge retrieval starter, exam question practise, keywords, in-class discussion activities.
Worksheet(s) that include answers.
Knowledge capture which is a plenary style resource to check students understanding of the topic.
Self-checker tool - A short quiz done in Microsoft forms to check their understanding of the content (link included)
I’ve been working on creating a series of workbooks for GCSE Computer Science. I used a block based structure to plan the course and therefore the workbooks I’ve attached (in files) reflect that.
Block 1 - Understanding the machine
Block 2 - Computer hardware and software
Block 3 - Networks
Block 4 - Programming
Block 5 - Issues surrounding the use of computer science technology.
There is a teacher version and student version. They’re very versatile, they could be used as a revision activity, good for differentiation, build on from flipped learning or a good remote learning activity - these workbooks have worked well for my students during lockdown/closures.
