This application is a totally customisable version of my "Family Fortune - Top 20 Inventions" application. The default settings have been kept as the top 20 inventions of all time, however in this version you are able to design and implement your own top 20 list. The design process uses custom built userforms, VBA programming and has undergone user testing to ensure ease of use. Simply select the Designer Mode, enter a Title for your game and then add your top 20 list items. When you are done click on Play and you will be able to play and present "your version" of Family Fortunes.

Python Programming Home Learning Course Lesson 2 This course is suitable for home study, students unable to attend classes due to sickness or as learning material during school closures. This second lesson begins with a refresher task to review all the skills and programming techniques practiced during Lesson 1. Students are then introduced to more interactive elements of Python Programming including Nested Loops, Random Values, Switch Case Statements, Casting to a String, String Manipulation and how to Collect Data from a User. The lesson is completed with the first Python Programming Challenge. Here students will be required to use the programming skills from the last two lessons to build a working game. Students are requested to review each section of the Lesson Workbook, and to create an Evidence Document of their own where they can record their progress using print-screen evidence and annotations. This is an ideal lesson pack for remote study, allowing the student to work at their own pace, producing evidence of their programming skills as they progress through the course that can then be forwarded via email to the subject teacher for review, assessment and feedback.

This can be used for question & answers segments within starters, as well as throughout the lesson to reinforce learning and establish understanding of the lesson topic. Excel spreadsheet using VBA programming and User Forms providing a customisable interface format, allowing you to type or copy & paste a range of student names (maximum 50) onto the worksheet - then following the on-screen instructions to generate a random name selection.

An excellent teaching resource for ICT / Computing: Number Systems, providing a step-by-step walk though for converting denary (base 10) to binary (base 2) numbers. The application provides two different methods of conversion and allows the user to enter an example number of their choice; the system will then convert their denary value into a binary number, showing the steps taken to do so. The resource has been built using Excel 2010 and will be compatible with both Excel 2010 and 2013. The programming for the application is powered by VBA, the application is self-contained and button controlled. The full version of the application includes an assessment system to test users understanding of the conversion methods and is available for purchase in the TES resources area.

Parents Evening - Student Grade Visualisation This spreadsheet has two worksheets - Data and Display. The Data worksheet is where you can add students first and last names - in adherence with GDPR these names are edited with a formula to display the first name and initial only - as well as the effort, behaviour and homework scores for each student. The scores are in the 1-4 format where 1 is the highest grade. In addition the students current and target grade are entered to allow the spreadsheet to calculate how much progress they have made towards their target. The Display spreadsheet has a drop-down box with all of the students names. Here you can select a student to view the data as well as a graphical display of their progress. This has been a valuable resource during parents evenings and for 1:1 discussions with students.

This resource is for both teachers and senior management, enabling you to accurately track subject specific actions taken to support Pupil Premium students. Sourcing potential strategies from the Education Endowment Foundation's Teaching and Learning Toolkit, the Pupil Premium Records Tracker encourages you to keep a record of instances where a strategy may be applied to support PP students and give reasons. All entries to the Pupil Premium Records Tracker are time and date stamped and sorted so only specific students records are viewed when they are selected. There is a print button built into the application which will automatically provide a print-preview of the worksheet. The bespoke data entry system (Update Records) allows you to select a Pupil Premium student, teacher, identify the current topic, detail current performance grades, select a suitable strategy (built-in to the system) and leave a detailed comment. Within the data entry section of the application you can enter the students name and if they are a Pupil Premium student. You can also enter the names of teachers - if used within a department you may include all relevant staff and if used school-wide include Heads of Department only (identifying specific teachers in the comments section). The application is password protected but there is no password needed to unlock the worksheets.

The tracking document is a macro-enabled excel workbook that allows you to add up to 35 students and track their progress through seven separate units of work. The dashboard feature of the workbook displays data graphically to give a clear indication of each students progress. Attached with the resource is an Overview document that shows each of the accessible worksheets.

Worksheet Images Store Tab - Here you enter student data - max: 92 students / 4 classes Data Tab - Here you can edit the Grade Boundaries Dashboard Tab 1 - You can view results filtered by class Dashboard Tab 2 - You can view results filtered by student - single or multiple selection Dashboard Tab 3 - You can view results filtered by grade PLC Tab - You can select by class, then by student to view a complete overview with graph Using the Resource I primarily use this resource for assessments - entering student details, the assessment title and the students grade for each question in the STORE TAB - from here everything is automated! I often use this during department meetings, annual reviews, when writing reports and at parents evenings. Additionally, it is very useful to have data and graphs for each unit assessment to keep students and parents up-to-date with either a printed Personal Learning Checklist (PLC) or digitally via email.

Python Programming Home Learning Course Lesson 1 This course is suitable for home study, students unable to attend classes due to sickness or as learning material during school closures. This first lesson focuses on the core elements of Python Programming, and provides access to a free on-line Integrated Development Environment (IDE) where students can practice coding and complete lesson tasks. Students are requested to review each section of the Lesson Workbook, and to create an Evidence Document of their own where they can record their progress using print-screen evidence and annotations. This is an ideal lesson pack for remote study, allowing the student to work at their own pace, producing evidence of their programming skills as they progress through the course that can then be forwarded via email to the subject teacher for review, assessment and feedback.

An Excel Spreadsheet where you can store you class information and record all of the primary reporting markers (ATT, BEH, EFF, HWK). The spreadsheet allows the user to select a student to display graphical representations for these primary reporting markers. To support your report writing, the spreadsheet auto-generates a report comment based on each students data information - which can be copied and used, or edited for your needs. Additionally, this resource can be very useful during Parent’s Evenings - providing a visual representation of the students progress, and having the report comments to refer to during the meeting.

A working clock built into an Excel spreadsheet - can be displayed as both analog and digital. An additional feature has been added allowing you to start and stop the clock. This can be a useful resource to have on hand, helping you keep track of time during lesson activities or to display on the main board.
