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.

Inspired By.... Janesville: An American Story

(0)
Janesville: An American Story, by Amy Goldstein. 2017. The 2017 Business Book of the Year. It tells the story of Janesville, Wisconsin, home of a large GM car factory – until it closed in 2008. This is the story of what happened next. To understand modern America, you need to understand Janesville. Teaching as I do mostly foreign children the view from outside is that America is still a land of wealth and opportunity. To see its people, react and vote, in a manner that suggests otherwise is deeply puzzling. Outside the country the US voter’s desperation for change looks merely like ignorance and hatred for everyone else. Outsiders need to understand that large parts of this once mighty nation have essentially been gutted thanks to globalisation and technological change. This lesson hopes to address that need. With a strong focus on EAL needs and vocabulary it tries to tell the story of the negatives of globalisation. It is part of a wider mini-SOW on Globalisation I have made especially for EAL students. I’d highly recommend teaching this lesson in the context of the wider SOW so students get a real appreciation of the larger forces at work. Hope it helps.
