Edexcel GCSE ICT Theory Mind Maps

(0)
These resources are summary mind maps that can be used in isolation at the end of a topic or as a revision tool at the end of a course. They can be used appropriately as formative or summative activities. Each mind map has associated past paper questions and questions taken from, or inspired by the course workbooks and revision guide. I have confirmed with Pearson that i have permission to share these resources with other teachers and students. The topics include: Personal Digital Devices, Connectivity, Operating Online, Online Communities, Online Goods and Services & Issues. I tend to use these resources for group work tasks where students get a series of points for the methods that they have used to work out the answers. Please note that these resource do not have the questions attached that feature in the other, similarly named document that I have uploaded here. They are stored in the form of a jpg.

Edexcel GCSE ICT Course Booklet v1.0

(0)
This course booklet contains all of the: - worksheets - chunking/terminology activities for each lesson - homework's - associated mind map and revision activities I issue each student that I teach with this booklet and we work through it with the associated PowerPoints. The booklet starts with a specification checklist and a PLC activity for each unit of work. Each lesson starts with the associated chunking/terminology and then features lesson content and an associated home task (past paper of exam-style questions). I work through these one lesson at a time and test the terminology/chunking knowledge in the next lesson (usually a practical or CAB lesson). At the completion of each teaching block, student create their own mind map. At the end of the course are some revision activities and high quality mind maps. This is the complete document for teaching the Edexcel GCSE ICT theory components.

5-4-3-2-1 Arousal Cards/Behavious/Stress Management

(0)
This is an excellent technique for managing student stress or behaviour issues. I have these card printed and laminated (A5) for individual students who suffer from stress or anxiety and they use this when they are highly aroused. The Learning Support Assistants within my team all have these to hand in order to implement the simple strategy when required.
Feedback comment banks for marking

Feedback comment banks for marking

(2)
According to Professor John Hattie, feedback has the biggest impact on learning. However, the written feedback that we provide is often rushed (in a bid to finish marking that pile of books!) It is also a common trait that we don’t teach our students how to use the feedback that we provide. So with this method, I tend to concentrate on writing quality feedback and at the start of the year, following my first written feedback, we work on how to use this information to inform and progress our learning. As a result, this is a document type that I use on a daily basis in school. The concept involves writing a set of statements that can be used to feedback on a piece of work. I tend to write the statements/comments at the same time as I write each of the tasks as this allows me to think of all of the possible outcomes that a student will produce. The feedback for each task is provided in four ways: Instant: this is the feedback that the students look for straight away. It very quickly establishing ‘how well’ they have done/ Constructive: this part of the feedback outlines exactly what the student has done well and what they need to develop. I simply ‘copy and paste’ the whole statement into the feedback box and colour code it appropriately. Students are now used to looking into this section in order to ascertain the specifics of where they have achieved/no achieved. Progressive: this is essentially an extension task for the student to follow. I often differentiate these pase on the ‘Constructive’ section. It takes the form of a link to a website; a video lecture or an activity. Sometimes these are assessed online - i.e. a Moodle Quiz or Educanon Assessment. Specific: this section focuses on the school or subject priority. For example, Literacy is high profile in our school environment so I will often tailor comments in this section to be around Literacy and quality of written answers.

Giant Race Track - Spheroball

(0)
Spheroball is a great programmable tool to introduce programming to students. It can be operated using a plethora of free and paid apps and there is a huge amount of support online for teachers and students. I use the attached race track when delivering this unit in either Computing or Creative Design lessons. Students design obstacles to feature around the track which is printed on our poster printer - the pixel size of this image are huge in order to maintain the high print quality.
6 Team League

6 Team League

(0)
This is a 6 team league which enables students to work independently during in-class activities (where teams are assigned points for a variety of activities or contributions to learning) or for sports activities. During PE lessons, I use this with large groups who self-manage their fixtures and results, allowing me as the teacher to target my interventions and teaching points with better quality differentiation and fault analysis.
