I’ve been working on creating a series of workbooks for GCSE Computer Science. I used a block based structure to plan the course and therefore the workbooks I’ve attached (in files) reflect that. Block 1 - Understanding the machine Block 2 - Computer hardware and software Block 3 - Networks Block 4 - Programming Block 5 - Issues surrounding the use of computer science technology. There is a teacher version and student version. They’re very versatile, they could be used as a revision activity, good for differentiation, build on from flipped learning or a good remote learning activity - these workbooks have worked well for my students during lockdown/closures.

This series of workbooks will cover networks and some other associated with it. The breakdown is as follows: CS17 - Types of networks (LAN, WAN, Client-server, Peer-to-Peer) CS18 - Network hardware CS19 - The internet (inc. Cloud storage and DNS) CS20 - Network topologies (Star/Mesh and Virtual networks) CS21 - Network protocols (Including layers) CS22 - Social engineering (Blagging, Phishing and Shoulder-surfing) CS23 - Malware (Different types and prevention strategies) CS24 - Network security (Brute-force, DDOS, Packet sniffers and prevention stategies (e.g. policies, penetration testing etc…) CS25 - SQL & Data Structures (How to write SQL, SQL injection and prevention strategies) CS26 - Defensive design (Authentication methods and Validation methods - how to add defensive design to your code) CS27 - Testing (What is testing, why is it important?, Final/iterative, test data) Each set includes a teacher and student version. The rest will be part of a bundle.

I’ve been working on creating a series of workbooks for GCSE Computer Science. The first block is all about ‘understanding the machine’ and consists of the following topics: CS1 - Boolean Logic (2.4) CS2 - Von Neumann Architecture (1.1) CS3 - Low-level languages (1.1/2.5) CS4 - Data storage (Numbers) (1.2) CS5 - Data storage (Characters) (1.2) CS6 - Data storage (Images) (1.2) CS7 - Data storage (Sound) (1.2) CS8 - Data storage (Compression) (1.2) There is a teacher version and student version. They’re very versatile, they could be used as a revision activity, good for differentiation, build on from flipped learning or a good remote learning activity - these workbooks have worked well for my students during lockdown/closures.

This series of workbooks will cover a wide range of issues surrounding the use of Computer Science technology. The breakdown is as follows: CS40 – Copyright, Designs and Patents Act CS41 – Data Protection Act CS42 – Computer Misuse Act CS43 – Freedom of Information Act CS44 – Privacy issues CS45 – Digital divide CS46 – Sustainability CS47 – Online services CS48 – Open-source v Proprietary software CS49 – Artificial Intelligence CS50 – Medicine CS51 - Crime

A set of questions that cover all the key specification points. Closely aligned to the range of questions they may get in the exam. For example, questions that fit into AO1 and AO2 strands. Mark scheme that explicitly mentions which strand each question falls into. Lesson PPT which is the walkthrough element, focusing on exam technique and how to better understand what is being asked of them. This bundle includes: CS17 - Network types CS18 - Network hardware CS19 - The Internet CS20 - Network topologies CS21 - Network protocols CS22 - Social engineering CS23 - Malware CS24 - Network security CS25 - SQL & Data structures CS26 - Defensive design CS27 - Testing
