This Advanced Higher Computing Science resource takes pupils through the process of creating a Database Driven Website. It contains everything that is required in the course and also has some added extras that aren’t required but could be useful for pupil projects. It includes: Installing EasyPHP onto a USB Flash Drive Setting up your folders Starting up the servers Viewing your files in the directory Setting up the database Creating a Home page Creating a Squad page Creating a News page Creating a Clips page Creating a Login/Registration page Making a connection script Session Variables Making the registration form work Validating a password using JavaScript Making the login form work Displaying the login details and logging out Adding players to the Squad Viewing the players in the Squad Deleting players from the Squad Viewing the starting Viewing Player Profiles Viewing The Hughes United Legends Using a media query to make it work on a mobile This unit of work has made the WDD unit so much more accessible and understandable for my AH Computing Science pupils.

This resource is a collection of 4 Powerpoints that covers all aspects of the new updated Higher Curriculum (2018/19 onwards). UPDATED FOR PYTHON USERS It matches to the new arrangements and provides Presentations on all the content within the following: Software design and development Computer systems Database design and development Web design and development These slides have worked wonderfully well with my class and have made new parts of Higher much more accessible to my classes. I have included PDF versions as well. The Fonts I have used are called Fortuna Dot and Abscissa

This resource is a Powerpoint that covers all aspects of the new updated National 5 Web design and Development unit (2017/18 onwards). It matches to the new arrangements and provides slides on all the content within the following: Analysis Design Implementation (CSS) Implementation (HTML) Implementation (Javascript) Testing Evaluation These slides have worked wonderfully well with my class and have made new parts of National 5 much more accessible to my classes.

This resource is a unit of that shows pupils how to create relational databases and query their database using SQL. This is a great way for pupils to get hands-on experience of SQL, which is an essential part of the new updated National 5 Database Design and Development (2017/18 onwards). I use this in conjunction with the PowerPoint that I also have available and the SQL examples used in the booklet match the ones in the PowerPoint.

Practical Database Unit (Using Filemaker Pro) for pupils following the BGE course in Computing Science. This is a great precursor to the National 4 and 5 courses as it teaches them about various parts of those courses such as; Files, Tables and Fields Setting up a flat-file database. Creating a Form for outputting information Sorting a Database Searching a Database It meets both level 3 and 4 of the Experiences and Outcomes and the Significant Aspects of Learning and will link to the Benchmarks that are coming soon. I have found that pupils really enjoy working through this unit and it allows you to differentiate between level 3 and level 4 pupils.

Multimedia Unit for pupils following the BGE course in Computing Science. This is a great precursor to the National 4 and 5 courses as it teaches them about various parts of those courses such as, Data and Information and Standard File formats for Text, Graphics, Sound and Video. It meets both level 3 and 4 of the Experiences and Outcomes and the Significant Aspects of Learning and will link to the Benchmarks that are coming soon. The pupils use the notes to help them with the theory based tasks, but it is always good to start with a discussion of what Multimedia, Data, Information and Knowledge actually mean.

This is a Computer Systems Unit aimed at pupils during their BGE Computing Science Lessons. This can be used by any year group but I use it with S2. It links to both the E's & O's, the Significant Aspects of Learning and will also link to the new Benchmarks. I use the PowerPoint as an introduction and the pupils can work through the tasks at their own pace. It is a great booklet for differentiating between Level 3 and Level 4 pupils.
