Lesson that covers types of switching as required by the new AS and A Level Computing specification. Contains an A to Z starter activity, recap questions, sample exam questions, the structure of a data packet and an idea for how you could use a practical activity, animation/video to explain, extension task. Designed to be used with OCR but would be suitable for any AS or A Level course.
Based on the AQA INFO 2 specification but suitable for most exam boards. 100's of questions broken down into categories with answers and examiners comments.
Originally a checklist for Part C of Unit 3 of the OCR GCSE ICT course. As students progress through their spreadsheet work they become 'Ninja's. Can also be used as a revision aid for Key stage 3 to AS or A2.
Year 10 Computer Science Progress Test (9-1).
32 mark progress test using questions from the OCR sample assessment materials (yes could do this yourself but this saves you time). There is no mark schemes but this is ideal as a cover lesson if you are off or for a bit of quiet time!
The test covers hardware, WAN's, file sizing, algorithms, cloud, the acts.
Suitable for year 10 or 11. Includes problem solving, trace tables, algorithms, binary and hex and a 6 marker at the end. Designed to last for 50 minutes and worth 45 marks. No mark scheme just the questions.

This is a resource that I used with a year 12 ICT class to revise the use of command words as they seemed unable to answer the questions correctly. Before the lesson set them a 20 mark question to plan as they will self assess their planning ability as part of the lesson. The starter looks at a news article about Ransomeware and they have to identify what back up and security recommendations they would make. The next part of the lesson is an INFO 1 rewind set of short questions to keep these topics in their minds. The main focus of the lesson is what responses are expected based on the command words and example questions are also shown for each command word.
