Students will create a multimedia presentation using text, images and sound about themselves. In creating their pages, students are expected to be sensitive to the needs of their audience.

Students will work to prepare a printed publication related to a topic that is been studied in another subject within the school. Students will gather, process and output information in text and image form and explore a variety of image-capture and image-manipulation methods to create suitable image data. There are opportunities for links with English when pupils develop the text for the publication. Links are made to other subjects when choosing the topics for the articles, e.g. History or Geography.

Operations Management – Achieving Quality Production – Power Point’s and worksheets for teaching the IGCSE, complementing the text book.

In this unit, you will learn how simple models are built by first investigating rules, then by seeing how rules can govern the behaviour of simple models by the use of spreadsheets. You will discuss the ways in which different models could be used to present different information in a spreadsheet, identifying the inputs, the rules (formulae) and the outputs. You will also learn the use of absolute cell referencing and other formulae that will make the model more appropriate for the end user. You will test the effectiveness of the model by using sample data representing a number of scenarios as well as chart creation.

In this unit students will consider the information that they need in order to collect appropriate data to test a hypothesis. Students will collect data using questionnaires, design a structure to contain the data and enter it into a file by the use of spreadsheets and word. Students will also create a database and will analyse the results and draw conclusions from the data that they input. During the process students will learn how to add fields to the database and consider data-validation techniques that might be used to check the data for accuracy. Once all data has been collated they use the results to produce a report.

External Influences – Business & The International Economy – Power Point’s and worksheets for teaching the IGCSE, complementing the text book.

In this unit students will use the internet to gather information on a topic, collate it and present it from a particular viewpoint. Students will look at and identify key terms when searching for relevant information. Students will be given a stance to take and select information that is biased or non-biased. This will require students to consider the usefulness, provenance, reliability, status, and bias of the information that they collect and use. An audience will be used to evaluate how successfully students have presented their arguments to support your stance. The reliability of websites and the information that they show will be looked at.

In this unit students will study the use of sensors and how they can be used in different situations. Students will collate data from a variety of sources to develop a daily information service about weather. A key aim of this unit is find relevant information for a target audience and to develop a system that will meet the potential user’s needs. Students will model an Input, Process, and Output System in relation to a weather report.

In this Unit students will learn how to design and build an interactive PowerPoint on a subject of your choice. Students will learn how to control on-screen events and the flow of information accessed through linking pages page. You will learn that web pages are made up of objects, and that these objects can be programmed to carry out actions, e.g. a hyperlink can automatically connect a user to a different page in their presentation. You will consider a range of audiences, and how one site can serve a range of needs, e.g. a site dedicated to a historic town may contain a list of places of interest for the casual tourist, while also offering detailed primary source material for the more serious historian.

Using a story from a film. book. students will create a PowerPoint presentation, adding motion, sound and consistency through out their presentation of a story.

Different ICT activates that can be used as one off lessons, end of term activities or as cover lessons.

In this unit students will learn about control technology such as automation and the use of computer control. Students will also look at the way the sensors operate and their different uses in different situations. Students will learn hoe to create hyperlinks within applications by creating a quiz, which will result in different outputs depending on the inputs into the system. As well as what are computer parts.

Here you will find PowerPoints, worksheets, activities, internet research questions related to the Cambridge recommended text book Cambridge IGCSE in ICT by Paul Clowrey and Colin Stobart, with questions and other supporting materials to help you teach the unit. Each unit is labelled with the same sub sections as in the syllabus and text book for teaching the IGCSE in ICT, as to make it easy to use as possible.

In this unit students create a fundraising event that must make a profit (this is the constraint). They will use spreadsheets to solve problems associated with planning such an event, with the help of formulas and goal seek, they will work out the following outcomes as set. Students will create a mobile phone tables with different minutes used to create a table of best value, from this graph will be created and incorporated into a word document. Students will create a mail merge document by using a spreadsheet list of clients, this will help to integrate the use of one programme to another.

In this unit students will investigate the large-scale use of data by commercial organisations. The use of ICT in the retail industry and how this data can be used.
