I'm an experienced (20 years +) classroom teacher selling resources that are tried and tested in the classroom. I offer materials for GCSE & A Level Computing, OCR Creative iMedia Level 2 and OCR Cambridge Technicals Level 3. I would really appreciate it if you could leave a short review for any of my resources that you download so that I can keep making them better.

This retrieval grid generator allows you to instantly generate three-by-three grids of random revision questions at the touch of a button.
Each grid pulls questions randomly from a bank of over 170 questions, covering topics in both units (1 & 2) from OCR’s 277 GCSE Computing spec.
You can create grids based on:
Unit 1 - Computer systems
Unit 2 - Computational thinking, algorithms and
programming
Unit 1 & 2
An answer grid is also generated with each set of questions, and a blank answer grid can also be printed. The spreadsheet file is set up for easy printing.
When used in lessons on a regular basis, Retrieval Practice is an excellent way of boosting student learning and helping students transfer knowledge to long term memory. This retrieval grid generator makes it simple to create retrieval practice resources in seconds, so that students can embed their learning on a regular basis and not just in the run-up to tests/exams.
