The Computer Revolution -
Meant as a cross department study with the Humanities and ICT/Computer Science. This is 1 lesson from a series of 17 (see below).
Each lesson is well constructed and fully resourced (all resources contained at the end of each PowerPoint to avoid multiple files). Lessons include a varied sequence of activities building up content and skills to answer a large essay question in lesson 17 on the nature of change and continuity thanks to the computer revolution, and a speculative discussion of the impact of future developments.
The series also runs parallel to a 17 part ‘Guided Reading’ pack on the same topic. Each lesson is paired with an extended piece of computing literature – for ease these extracts have been included inside the PowerPoints but you can access the reading as a separate bundle, and for free at Wolsey Academy.
The lessons are as follows:
Enigma and Turing (free)
The History of Women in Computing (free)
The Microchip and Moore’s Law
The PC, GUI and Microsoft
How Video Games Shaped Our World
Mid-Unit Test and Revision
Impact of the Internet
Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies (free)
Covid Track and Trace
Quantum Computing (free)
Artemis and Space X
Facial Recognition
Digital Divide
DeepMind, AI, AlphaGo and ChatGPT (free)
Emerging Technologies and their impact
Cybersecurity case studies
Revision keyword flash cards and essay assessment.
