Digital Devices - 9. Case Study: Microsoft Operating Systems - Edexcel ICT iGCSE Unit 1 – EAL
Catering for Edexcel ICT iGCSE Unit 1.
Lesson 1 of 16 (lessons 1 & 2 and the revision guide are free to download)
These lessons were made for students in the Middle East and have a strong focus on EAL and keyword acquisition/application. Each lesson has 3-8 keywords on easy to use cards that fit into the lesson activity and also make excellent printable revision resources (the revision guide features them all in one place).
Each lesson begins with a different active learning activity, a mini-plenary and a written or creative ICT task requiring the correct application of the keywords. All have stretch questioning to the main activities. The SOW has an online mid and end of unit test that can be found at the Wolsey Academy website.
Wolsey Academy has had a lot of success with this SOW with EAL students who have really progressed in their understanding of the technically vocabulary involved with the ICT iGCSE.
Part of a Wolsey Academy SOW of 7 lessons with a revision guide and online test at the end. Designed for EAL and weaker students to introduce them to new vocabulary regarding coding, robotics and the future of AI. Later lessons make use of Google Doodles, Ozobots, Robozzle and Scratch to demonstrate some very fundamental coding techniques and functions.
Lessons blend key word acquisition with basic skills, ideal for EAL and weaker students. Can also act as a general introduction to these concepts to all classes.
Designed for all ICT/Computer Science courses.
Impact on society
Case study on autonomous vehicles
Repeat Functions (via a Google Doodle exercise)
Debugging (Using Ozobots)
Subroutines (Using Robozzle)
Random Function (Scratch Star Wars Game)
IF statements and compilers (Scratch Flappy Birds Game)

A lesson from the Scheme of Work for ICT EDEXCEL: IGCSE Unit 5 Applying ICT
The lesson includes:
An 8-12 minute video screencast by the teacher (me!) instructing students how best to use the lesson and providing greater knowledge, insights and understanding into the key concepts.
Literacy/Numeracy/Think settler
Kagan Activity for keyword acquisition (Quiz-Quiz-Trade or Relay activity)
A main activity dependent on the key topic.
A plenary.
A set of lesson specific keyword cards.
An EAL keyword focus activity sheet
This lesson was made during the Covid19 lockdown and therefore is geared for distance learning with every lesson including an instructional video by the classroom teacher (me). Therefore, it is probably best used ‘out of the box’ as a series of homework tasks (it’s only a small unit compared to some of the others). However, I have put the ‘in class’ activities (like Quiz, Quiz, Trade or group activities) in the ‘resources section’ at the end of the PowerPoint so each lesson serves a dual purpose – it can easily be used as an out of the box self-study/homework resource or can quickly be edited for use in classroom by dragging those activities out of the resources section and back into the main part of the lesson.
The entire Module 5 SOW includes 7 lessons in all that cover the entire of module 5 for EDEXCEL ICT IGCSE exam
Correct use of software types
Types of Data
Software purpose, part A
Software purpose, part B
Checking tools
Software evaluation
End of unit Revision: A range of activities, all 23 key word flash cards & a self-marking online test.
This module and modules 4 & 6 are in a totally new style to the previous Wolsey Academy ICT IGCSE module lessons (modules 1- 3) and, as you can see, include a wider range of activities and are presented in a much clearer and colourful way for ease of use.
Hope it helps.
