GDPR CPD - Breach Awareness
This GDPR CPD resource is aimed at developing awareness of data breaches in staff by asking them to consider a series of common scenarios. This group activity removes the burden of the GDPR lead to deliver training as the school authority, and instead asks staff to identify the actions and mitigations required to deal with some common causes of data breaches in schools. The session ends with a set of priorities for improving security when handling data in school.
The activity resources are published as a single A3 PDF as a pack to be provided to groups of staff and can be adapted to support CPD sessions from 20 to 90 minutes.
This 28 page PDF guide follows the process of redacting the results of a subject access request from the moment paperwork arrives at your desk or in your inbox, to handing the response over to the requestor. The guide assumes the avaialbility of Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Challenge your pupils to design a bit of wearable tech for Xmas. Turn a cheap Santa hat into an interactive novelty using a BBC MicroBit and a few LEDs and buzzers.
These four 8 page booklets take pupils through the design work required to produce their own product.
Introducing Electronic Prototyping is a workbook containing 9 simple exercises aimed aimed at developing familiarity with an electronic prototyping board. The exercises can be completed as standalone tasks or in conjunction with prototyping kits. Students simply draw the connections from component to circuit board to connect battery pack, lamps, switches, resistors and LEDs in a number of series and parallel circuits. A wordsearch and a crossword are also provided.
Exercise included are…
Know your Prototyping Board
Building a Simple Circuit
Lamps in Parallel
Lamps in Series
Controlling a Lamp with a Switch
Controlling Two Lamps with a Switch
A Simple LED Circuit
Controlling an LED with a Switch
Controlling Two LEDs with a Switch
Basic Electronics Crossword

The workbook is in PDF format formatted to print as a 14 page landscape booklet printed back to back and stapled on the short edge.
Developed for the STEM Team Bridge Project but can be used in many contexts. This PDF file can be printed to produce 10 individualised chequebooks containing 20 cheques. Each cheque includes team number, 8 digit account number unique to the team, cheque number and stub. An editable version is available on request to purchasers.
The STEM Team Bridge Project is a whole class project aimed at Design and Technology at either KS3 or KS4. Each team is provided with an account with 100,000BB (Boulter Bucks) and invited to purchase from a range of available contracts for which the return for successful completion is greater than the purchase price.
This resource contains three tasks to supplement the contracts. A press release agreement, a social enterprise voucher and a tax return form used to complement work towards to the contracts.
These resources are in PDF format. Editable Word files are available on request for purchasers

A set of three worksheets designed to provide discussion when leading in to work with the micro:bit.
1. THE INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) Presents pupils with a range of IOT devices and asks pupils to consider why they are connected to the cloud.
2. WHAT PRODUCTS COULD I USE A MICRO:BIT FOR? asks pupils to respond to a range of micro:bit applications and consider further how these associations could be developed.
3.MICROBIT PARTS A quick exercise for identifying and recording the different parts of a micro:bit.
This presentation is one of a series aimed at supporting teachers wanting to introduce micro:bit programming into their lessons. The presentation is authored in a way to mimic the use of the block editors with a step by step tutorial while freeing the teacher to lead discussion. Each presentation contains linked questions to deepen learning, challenges for pupils to adapt the code and an embedded video to illustrate the microbit output.
The full PowerPoint presentation is available together with a link to a YouTube video to help the teacher familiarise themselves with the presentation sequence.
5 BUTTON WAR introduces a second decision loop to test for two conditions before incrementing or decreasing a variable.
