The Computer Revolution -
Meant as a cross department study with the Humanities and ICT/Computer Science. This is 1 lesson from a series of 17 (see below).
Each lesson is well constructed and fully resourced (all resources contained at the end of each PowerPoint to avoid multiple files). Lessons include a varied sequence of activities building up content and skills to answer a large essay question in lesson 17 on the nature of change and continuity thanks to the computer revolution, and a speculative discussion of the impact of future developments.
The series also runs parallel to a 17 part ‘Guided Reading’ pack on the same topic. Each lesson is paired with an extended piece of computing literature – for ease these extracts have been included inside the PowerPoints but you can access the reading as a separate bundle, and for free at Wolsey Academy.
The lessons are as follows:
Enigma and Turing (free)
The History of Women in Computing (free)
The Microchip and Moore’s Law
The PC, GUI and Microsoft
How Video Games Shaped Our World
Mid-Unit Test and Revision
Impact of the Internet
Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies (free)
Covid Track and Trace
Quantum Computing (free)
Artemis and Space X
Facial Recognition
Digital Divide
DeepMind, AI, AlphaGo and ChatGPT (free)

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
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.
