MS Excel - Tracking Student Data - IF Statements to Compare target to grades; teacher instructions

(0)
Teacher instructions to help with tracking data for departments, school wide or individual class trackers. These instructions show how to insert an IF statement to compare a grade (for a unit/exam/module etc.) to a target, to show whether it's above, below or meeting target grade. Two separate instructions for grades A*-G and numbers 9-1. Ideal for whole staff training. More advanced staff should be adapting the formulae to suit their needs. Enjoy.

ICT or Computing / Computer Science Wired vs Wireless Connections Booklet & PPT

(0)
This lesson introduces students to the different connections available for digital devices (wired and wireless connections). Students should mind map their own ideas first, before answers are revealed (click on the slide to reveal answers!). Students must then research OR use the support sheet to group advantages and disadvantages of each connection type. On the back page of the booklet is a review of the lesson where students must decide on the BEST method of connection; there are more answers, but the IDEAL answer is shown on the PowerPoint itself and students should be told this! Enjoy!

GCSE Computer Science - Computer Legislation Activities (Data Protection Act etc.) Differentiated

(0)
Two activities to introduce five laws to students. I teach low ability GCSE Computer Science, and this is perfect for them. Specifically mapped to OCR Computer Science J276, though good for any lessons covering these five laws: - Data Protection Act 1998 - Computer Misuse Act 1990 - Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 - Creative Commons Licensing - Freedom of Information Act 2000 There are TWO activities here which make teaching this (slightly dull) topic easier. 1. Laws Jigsaw - Print on A3. Students cut out all pieces and connect to make 5 jigsaws, one about each law. There's an answer sheet which I stick at the front if students struggle they're allowed a peek! 2. Laws Summary - Students fill in the missing words. Answers are provided to discuss. There is also a help sheet with potential words to use; this is again stuck at the front and students are allowed one or two peeks whilst completing the task. There are TWO versions of the sheet, one with letter prompts to make it easier. The harder one is good because students often use different words, so good for discussion. Enjoy.
