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. And questions are in three colour columns (1 mark - blue; 2 marks - orange; 3/6 marks - purple). 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. The resources are printed/designed for A3 and students get 3x the marks for knowing the answers without the use of mind-map or research. 2x the marks for using the mind maps and 1x the marks for utilising online research methods to work out the answer. Going through the solutions is done via the medium or a walking-talking exam. At the end of the session, I photograph and e-mail a copy of the completed questions to the class and individuals take home their own blank copy of the activity sheet to work on and target their own misconception or gaps in knowledge. I have also added a black and white version in order to save on printing costs for colleagues. UPDATE: Amended questions for Online Goods and Services 2. UPDATE 2: Now included is a simple spreadsheet to document team progress.
