I have created two posters /handout as study aids for students or they can be printed up as classroom displays.
The poster/handouts are as follows:
RAM - what is RAM, what is primary memory and types of RAM
ROM - what is ROM and where ROM is used
The files are in both PDF and JPEG for printing in color and for printing on a wide format printer.
As simple lesson that briefly introduces input devices. Pupils complete a starter activity, which matches a types of input devices to it’s definition and then working in pairs pupils will research and create a poster on how the device works. These posters can be shared on your schools VLE or they can be used in a classroom display. If pupils require an example of the technical detail they must go into then show them my video.

A guide showing the basic skills for Synfig open source animation software, which can be used as a replacement for CC animate.
The guide teaches the skills on the syllabus for CIE A Level IT (9626) but can be used with any class.
Teachers can use this to practice the skills needed quickly for teaching or the guide can be given to students so they can follow it independently and complete the activities at the end of each section to cement their knowledge.
A simple user guide on the basic skills that need to be covered for vector graphics in the CIE A level IT (9626) syllabus.
The guide can be given to students to follow independently or for teachers to gain the skills needed for teaching.
Each section has an activity for students to complete such as recreating the Hungry Caterpillar and pacman.
A whole lesson with starter and activities. The lesson contains the following:
Starter:
A link to a video explaining what cloud computing is

This lesson discusses the three main logic gates and the XOR and NOR gate.
Students will
create a truth table for each logic
Pupils will then use a logic gate simulator to solve some problems
Pupils will decode facts from binary to ASCII and learn how characters are represented as numbers.
Starter
Using the ASCII table pupils will decode the objective for the lesson
Lesson
Pupils will learn about how the characters on the keyboard all have assigned numbers but some languages cannot be represented as ASCII.
Pupils will learn about unicode and how emojis are represented.
Task
Depending on the ability of the group. Pupils can decode two or four facts (rest can be set as homework). They will convert binary to ASCII and them to character.
I have created to posters/revision sheets that can be printed as handouts or printed as classroom displays.
The posters are as follows:
The function of each logic gate and the truth tables
The order of rank for building circuits
Real life examples of where the three main logic gates are used
I have attached PDF files and JPEG files.
A full lesson with starter and activities .

A user guide for App Inventor that shows students how to use the TinyDB component in app inventor that stores information so when an app is closed the data is still available.
The scenario for this app is to make a To Do List, using block code store the data and remove when it’s no longer required.
The idea for the user guide is to give it to students and let them work independently.
