The final lesson in our Past, Present & Future series which explores who we think are the key people, companies, inventions and events from current developments

Factfile for students to use for research (DOCX)
SWOT analysis template (can be completed in PDF, available free on the website)

There is a student ticksheet for R082 with some guidance on use/explanaton which is particularly useful if they are using Adobe Photoshop to complete this Creative iMedia unit.
Three mini exercises that I used to revise / recap the use of PowerPoint and RocketCake to make an interactive multimedia produdct for R087.
Once both practice activities are complete students compare the software so they can make a choice of how to tackle the brief.

The teacher can choose the tasks from an interactive whiteboard
Students can pair up and one has it on their screen whilst the other student does the task

Please note: this booklet is divided by topics which reflect how we split up the teaching of Rocketcake in our lessons
