This PowerPoint features 100 ethical and legal debates based on the AQA and Edexcel GCSE Computer Science specifications. As per the AQA & Edexcel specifications, it deals with: • cyber security • mobile technologies • wireless networking • cloud storage • theft of computer code • issues around copyright of algorithms • cracking • hacking • wearable technologies • computer based implants. With a focus on privacy. It also includes some other ethical issues (e.g. relating to AI, automation) that students will find interesting. Each debate asks students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position. This resource can be used for an entire lesson, but it is recommended as a tool to use at the end of lessons throughout the course: it’s especially useful in the event that your lesson finishes early, as a good way to use the last minutes.

An exam wrapper (A.K.A. Cognitive Wrapper) is a worksheet that allows for before and after reflections when students are taking practice exam papers or undergoing assessments. This exam wrapper is suitable for all subjects and is a fantastic way to improve the value and usefulness of practice assessments. Please see the attached preview files to see the high quality of these double-sided, colour, fully-editable, exam wrappers. Exam wrappers foster metacognition in students (i.e. getting to think about how they learn best and what factors are influencing their academic performance) - exam wrappers are frequently cited by researchers as an example of effective metacognition in schools. It is widely accepted that the use of exam wrappers is “best practice”: yet there are very few available online, and those that exist are often for university students and not suitable for younger people. This wrapper is designed for students aged 14-18 (KS4 & KS5) - and is designed to be fast, fun, and engaging. This download comprises one of five exam wrappers, you can buy all five versions in our bundle (linked below) and save money by doing so: using a variety of exam wrappers will help students to engage in a broader array of metacognitive reflection activities.

This download is useful for any teachers who are hoping to foster critical thinking skills in KS2 or KS3 students. This resource pack contains: A double-sided A3 poster/table that identifies, describes and exemplifies 32 common logical fallacies A 32 question ‘Logical Fallacy Quiz’ (with a teacher’s answer key) An ‘analysing and evaluating philosophical arguments’ activity’ The A3 poster/table is an excellent resource in and of itself and can be used for other activities in the teaching of critical thinking skills. The quiz is designed to be used alongside the table: students work in pairs or teams to identify examples of logical fallacies. There are 32 questions - which should be ample for a long lesson. This activity can be differentiated by changing team sizes and/or shortening the quiz (allowing for more reflection time). A smaller activity is also included: it introduces the idea of ‘philosophical arguments’, soundness, validity - and provides examples of simple philosophical arguments for young learners to analyse and evaluate. This resource is designed with KS2 and KS3 students in mind.

This multi-use interactive learning session is an ideal way to introduce philosophy to young learners. This session uses our unique format for philosophy teaching resources and features an integrated menu that allows teachers to select from a variety of starter, main, plenary, assessment and end-of-lesson reflection activities. With a massive selection of activities designed to trigger philosophical discussions, debates and reflections: you can re-use the resource numerous times with the same group. We designed this lesson not only to introduce philosophy as an intellectual discipline but to inspire a love of philosophical thinking. To this end this session explores topics such as: The nature of philosophy The different fields of philosophy (epistemology, metaphysics, ethics etc.) The philosophical method (of reasoned argumentation) The difference between knowledge and mere belief The big question asked in this session is “What is Philosophy?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a range of other philosophical questions such as Why is it important to think deeply about things? To what extent is it important to question and challenge the assumptions we live by? What is the difference between intelligence and wisdom? To what extent is certain knowledge possible? Students will analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims that have been chosen to represent the extensive range of philosophical enquiry such as: “We should not trust our senses as they are too limited, easy to trick and unreliable” “It’s important to be a sceptic and to doubt claims we hear and read on the internet” “The biggest moral problem of our age is how we treat animals” Aside from a wide range of debate and discussion activities, teachers can also choose from a variety of more substantial activities such as essay writing, poetry writing, and speech writing tasks. This resource is suitable for teachers of all school subjects who are looking to introduce philosophy, philosophical thinking and critical thinking. As with all our resources, this session will help students to develop vital communication, social and interpersonal skills: healthy debates will help learners to practice ‘disagreeing in an agreeable fashion’. This resource is suitable for students aged 8-16; due to the flexible nature of the sessions design it can be used for multiple hour-long sessions or as a stimulating tutor-group activity. The file is a PowerPoint Show: no planning or preparation is required.

The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is ‘E-Safety & Cyberbullying’. It is one of a series of PSHE-P4C sessions designed for KS2-4 PSHE students. The download comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used multiple times with the same group. This download is also relevant to all teachers of Computer Science, ICT and Computing. The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to PSHE designed for students in KS2-4: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind. In this context: ‘Philosophy Boxes’ represents a more student-centred ‘debate & discussion’ approach to PSHE issues. The aim of our ‘Philosopy Boxes’ PSHE sessions is to bring deep, critical thinking to PSHE, exploring PSHE using P4C (Philosophy for Children) debates and discussions. One advantage to the method is that it helps students to practice their social skills through the activities. The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities (in 8 different formats). The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from. The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes. The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity. Choose from out complete selection of our ‘Philosophy Boxes’ PSHE lessons here. You can also save money by purchasing lessons as a complete 20-session collection here!
