Three mini exercises that I used to revise / recap the use of PowerPoint and RocketCake to make an interactive multimedia produdct for R087.
Once both practice activities are complete students compare the software so they can make a choice of how to tackle the brief.
Final lesson includes teacher presentation
I used these when teaching “Job Roles in the Media Industry” alongside a research task (will put on TES soon!)
Helps students remember which parts are important.
Includes PDF of 2 per page and a PDF with 4 per page
Also include a little presentation slide with some rules I made up!
Updated of last year’s activity chooser with some new tasks
Plenty to choose from and if not, the bottom right one should help!
Portrait version included as well
Devote a lesson to a Christmas countdown (that can also count down to any date!
Include worksheet that students work through and a teacher presentation that guides them through building the code.
The sheet has a challenge task and the presentation also includes an extra challenge to stretch the most able students.
I’ve used the lesson with low and high sets as it’s fairly flexible
It helps if they have studied selection and loops but it can be scaffolded
Includes Python files
Final lesson in our Modelling Data Series, designed to help students revise for an end of unit assessment
Lesson includes:
Skeleton presentation with learning objectives, task direction and plenary questions
All the videos used in the Modelling Data Series:
Support sheet summarising all the key concepts (in the guise of a menu)
Differentiated activity in which students create a spreadsheet based on the nutrition in a meal deal
Version 1 – Guides them and tells students what to write and do (includes screenshots of Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets)
Version 2 – Tells them what is required but doesn’t tell students what to do
Spreadsheet Solution
Suitable to support students using NCCE Modelling Data unit
Ideal for remote learning delivery – I’ve used for this!
*Updated February 2023 - task sheets now in Word format and a few corrections made!
38 page booklet containing help for students in using RocketCake software
Contains a contents page to direct student to specific skills
If using with examined courses, remember to adhere to assessment rules - it is intended for practice and not as an assessment companion!
Great for Creative iMedia (R085/R087/R097); BTEC Level 3 IT (Unit 6) and BTEC Level 3 Computing (Unit 15)
A useful companion to our RocketCake video tutorials and RocketCake lessons
Need to prepare students for Unit 6 but don’t have any resources? You can purchase and get students ready without needing to re-create the wheel. I have been delivering BTEC since 2010 and so have years of experience working with requirements!
For A:
6 lessons to prepare students for the A assignment
Lessons include the presentation and a variety of tasks
Keywords Checklist
For B&C:
10 lessons to prepare students for the B&C assignment

Looking for an alternative to students learning and writing HTML?
This SOW meets the requirements of the specification and assignment brief
It incorporates my new lessons on delivering RocketCake including adding code and using master pages
Lessons include the presentation and a variety of tasks, video demonstrations and interactive exercises
Some lessons could still be used if you don’t use RocketCake! You could also teach aspects such as as HTML, JavaScript and CSS as before/after as well

Please note: lessons not currently include lesson plans
RocketCake Professional Edition required for Unit 6 (around £45 for a site licence)
Pack DOES NOT include the Knowledge Map as TES limits bundles to 20 items. It is available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12741404
Resources for a starter/revision activity for students to learn/revise basic Excel formulas. Sheets provided in case you can pin them to the wall/corkboard. if not a copy is provided on the student answersheet.
Mini-project in which students have to design some food/drink packaging. Can be used as cover or as part of a larger project. The PDF can be ticked and typed into!
Originally made for ECDL but versatile so could be used as a cover or with other courses such as WJEC Vocational ICT
An exercise where students decide how word processing, presentation and spreadsheet software can be used for improving productivity
Each one includes a scaffolded sheet with the first row completed with an idea as well
Students are guided though fact finding before they choose how to present their work. They have to cover protecting a device, using location services, safe searching, keeping safe and when communicating online.
After completing visual identity practice I then move onto teaching students how to prepare images that they download off the web so they are suitable for a ‘main graphic’.
On the stages we work through setting up folders to keep them organised, download and store the images; change the resolution, take screenshots to evidence the steps taken; save the image for use later.
You will need to think of a practice idea as I use this sheet alongside a themed set of lessons preparing students for R094.
Note: Repurposing is mentioned though does not have detail about this as I have another dedicated resource for this.
