Once students have learnt the basics listed in the lessons below they then take two test papers for assessment throughout the unit (test papers and answers provided). An overall assessment checklist is provided for both student and teacher feedback. Please also view my ‘Year 7 Computing’ resources, this Year 8 program is a great follow on.
