In final preparation for the GCSE Computer Science 9-1 exam, I have created some characters and simple tips to help students remember how to approach the different types of questions. If you can you this, and it can help students, please download. Good luck to all GCSE Computer Science students on 14 & 17 May 2018.

Component 3 Exam - Daily Dose of DIT My students have downloaded the Google Classroom app to their smartphones so they can receive regular notifications from me. I use the stream on Google Classroom to provide students with a Daily Dose of DIT, and then put the Daily Dose into a spreadsheet. Really recommend Google Classroom if you are not already using it, and I hope that the Daily Doses attached can help you/your students in preparation for the Component 3 exam. I will update this regularly as I add more daily doses.

I have trialled BTEC Digital Information Technology during 2017/2018, and have produced a number of resources linked directly to the new specification. This free resource is one of a set linked to the theory required on sectors for Component 2 LAA, and the skills required in Excel for LAB. The image with this resource shows the different placemats I have created for this unit which can be purchased for £6. Thanks for taking an interest in this resource.

I have created this marking grid to use with the OCR Computer Science 9-1 June 2018 papers. When marking the mock exams for my Year 11, if they show some knowledge of the topic, I will put the marks awarded in the ‘Knowledge demonstrated’ column, whereas if they get low or 0 marks, I will put the mark in the ‘Area for further revision’ column. This way, when students receive their feedback, they can target revision at their weaker areas prior to re-testing. I hope it can be of use. Thanks for taking an interest in this resource.

Paired Discussion/Written-based Revisision Activity Discussion Cards for Component 3 - C1 Responsible Use/C2 Ethical and Legal Peer: Read the card asking the same questions for each key concept: What is it? How is this relevant to business? Why is this relevant to me? Once discussion has taken place, the student then writes a paragraph summarising the discussion. Peer Support: Knowledge Organiser provides overview of topic.
