Lesson 7 - Identifying Vulnerabilities & External Hyperlinks
Practical: External Hyperlinks using HTML code
Theory: Identifying vulnerabilities in computer networks
Scratch - Secondary Perspective.
Following on from practice learning game provided by teacher, students will now develop games in order to demonstrate programming skills.
A good way of introducing terms that they will use when exploring Python later in the year.
Iteration
Selection
Lists
User input
Output
Broadcast (aka. function in Python)
Year 8 - HTML & Dreamweaver Project on Security Systems.
How to user guide for common tasks in Dreamweaver.
Students have on desk to prevent need to teacher-assist:
1) Look in the How to Guide
2) Ask a peer for help
3) If you still don't know, then ask the teacher.
End of term activity comparing Scratch and Python.

Output.
Based on the 12 Days of Christmas songs.
First 4 days completed in Scratch and Python to give the structure of the code for students to complete the challenge for the other 8 days.
A bit of programming fun to end the term.
(Python code included in notepad - copy and paste into Python; screenshots of Scratch code, in case the file won't open).
Merry Christmas.

Lesson 6 - Threats Posed and Rollover Images
Practical: Manipulating rollover images using HTML code
Theory: Threats posed to computer networks.
An example of how to present the planning, development, testing and evaluation of a Python program - to assist students in the thought process/evidence required for the A453 Controlled Assessment.
As requested by my students to practice for their controlled assessment, prompt sheets for common tasks.
Adding a record number to a file.
Reading from, writing to, appending file.
Lists, for loops and while loops.
Troubleshooting Trees
Python Efficiency module - using functions.
Adding to file.
Reading from file.
Explanation
Example with annotation.
Practice task.
Code included for teacher example.
Lesson 8 Feedback Page
Final lesson in the HTML and Dreamweaver unit for KS3

CS1 Understanding Computers
Lesson 2: Introducing Flash
Creating a title sequence for the 'Understanding Computers' animation
In this unit, students are introduced to the theory of how a computer works (basic level - Year 7). They will learn the theory and develop ICT skills in Flash concurrently, creating an animation summarising key learning.
Lesson plan
Flash student activity
Example animations of title sequence (differentiated).

CS1 Understanding Computers
Numeracy bridge lesson
This lesson bridges the gap between the PA1 Scratch unit and CS1 Understanding Computers unit for Year 7.
The lesson focuses on the computer system - Input - Process - Storage Output.
The activities are based around the Little Man Computer simulation.
Key Stage 3 Computer Science
A unit which introduces Year 7 students to the Computer System.
Theory is used to create an animation in Flash, thus developing ICT skills whilst learning Computer Science theory.
Developing unit during Spring Term 2, so more resources to follow shortly.

Scheme of Work and e-learning 'Working Document' with self-assessment differentiated checklist.
Designed as prompt cards to remind students of programming skills developed in the 'Introduction to Python' and 'Python Efficiency' units.
Whilst students attempt OCR's '20 Programming Challenges', these cards are useful for reminding students of programming techniques such as iteration, selection, list (arrays), functions, SQL etc.
Created so they can be printed out on card, and displayed in pockets at the front of class. Students then collect and refer to during the tasks preparing them for the controlled assessment in September.
Also a 'compilation set' for students for revision purposes.
Tricky Words Revision Resource
A451 Computer Systems & Programming
Get your students ready for the A451 exam with this keyword sheet.
a) Circle the ones you don't understand
b) Starter: Allocate a word to each member of the class, they need to explain it to the rest of the class
c) Plenary: Choose a word, explain it to leave the lesson
d) Home revision: You need to know what these words mean for the exam,
Fill students with confidence by word recognition.
Good luck to all your students in the exam.
Year 7 Summer Term Assessment.
Understanding Computers.
Differentiated questions on: The computer system, hardware and software.
Following a unit where students were introduced to the workings of a computer, and creating a flash animation on the topic, this assessment checks their understanding of the underlying theory.
