Retrieval resource for students, which I have used in Computing but can be used in any subject. These are designed to be used in lessons, to stimulate discussion between students and thus help them with the retrieval of learning from previous lessons. This resource is based on the the idea for retrieval placemats from Kate Jones’ excellent book “Retrieval Practice” As with all my resources, icons are from the Noun Project for which I have paid membership and thus I can use them legally without attribution (evidence can be provided if need be)

Attractive classroom display, giving a visual representation of the OCR GCSE Computing course. Would be a useful resource for an options evening. File is in high-quality PDF format.

Visual representation of the OCR A Level Computing syllabus created as classroom display. Would be a useful resource for an options evening. Exported as a high-quality PDF document.

This is a student study and revision guide for GCSE/Post 16 students. It was written with ICT and Computing in mind, but can easily be tweaked to use for other subjects (I have included an editable file along with the PDF) It has been produced with dual coding in mind The guide does not cover subject content, but is about study techniques to support learners throughout their studies, Many of the topics apply to all subjects. The guide includes sections on: Note-taking (why we take notes, the Cornell method, Outlining, Mind-mapping) Revision (How the brain works, spacing, interleaving, retrieval practice) Productivity (Getting Things Done and Pomodoro) Wellbeing (Diet, the importance of sleep, hydration, mindfulness, and digital wellbeing)

Retrieval / revision exercise for GCSE Computing ( OCR, the new 277 Spec) This resource covers spec points 1.2.4 - 1.2.5 (Data Storage to Compression) . The resource is provided in both PowerPoint & PDF formats and includes answers as well as a blank answer grid for students. Retrieval grids are perfect for classroom activities, homework, or student revision.

Perfect for a new seating plans at the start of a new term, this is a PowerPoint file 30 slides with numbering in decimal, binary and hexadecimal. It allows students to quickly identify their allocated seat in a computer room while reinforcing learning on number bases. Just print each slide and stick it on the wall behind your PC 's - alternatively print each slide in A5 and stick next to/near workstations. The PowerPoint file is editable so you can easily add more slides if you have more than 30 seats. PLEASE NOTE : The poor formatting in the screenshot is not representative of the presentation of the numbers in the resource.

One in a series of ten “retrieval grids” for A Level computing. This one covers: 1.1 The characteristics of contemporary processors These grids are perfect for supporting retrieval practice in the classroom or for student revision. Each resource comes with: • A 3 x 3 grid of questions • An answer sheet • A student answer sheet • A template which can be used to create additional grids The retrieval grids can be used with an optional “points” system. Questions are worth 1 – 3 points each. The points are based on the order in which the students are likely to have been taught the content (based on the order the topics are listed in the spec) with questions on the most recent topic being worth just a single point. The points system is optional and if used, it is important that it is “low stakes” only
