This presentation is a follow on after students have already learnt about how the Fetch Execute Decode Cycle. The idea of the presentation is that they can flow on from what they've already learnt. This will focus on the AS Level - Von Neumann / Harvard systems and it explains the difference. Following on from this the students are taught the difference between CISC and RISC. The idea of this will be that they understand how instructions are split. There is a task at the end with requirements for students to build a revision poster at the end.

This lesson starts off with some previous exam questions about LAN and WAN. It includes answers and shows students where they can gather their marks. It then explains to students how a protocol works. It gives them an example and gets them to think about their communication. Following on from this there is a video explaining the TCP/IP stack with the 4 layers that they're likely to need to know. Each layer is broken down into key points. There is a single exam style question. Students are then expected to look up the remaining protocols which are used regularly in networks. This task can be through poster, video or other medium.

This presentation introduces operating systems to AS Level Computer Science. Also includes a YouTube link to a video of the teacher presenting this lesson online. Students can have access to this video to re-cap on the lesson afterwards.

It should help you with your delivery.

9 Slides looking at testing in computer science. Covers - Alpha Testing, Blackbox testing, Whitebox testing, Destructive testing, Acceptance testing and other test strategies. No worksheets attached.

These 7 slides introduce artificial intelligence to students. It includes two basic worksheets with answers and helps the students to get a little deeper in their thought behind how artificial intelligence learns.

A Powerpoint presentation explaining Big O Notation. There are some examples of code and some graphs which help students visualise what is meant by exponential and the complexity of algorithms. This was useful to my year 13 students and hopefully it will help yours.

Many of my students struggled with the concept of converting from denary into floating point binary. This presentation shows a variety of question and breaks down how to tackle the questions. There are 5 sample questions at the end of the presentation for students to attempt and the technique is broken down into simple steps to help both the teacher and the students understand it. It breaks down how to do some simple questions such as number 7 but also shows you how to work out negative numbers such as -0.375 and shows the technique for multiplying the decimal by 2. I hope that this will help struggling teachers.

Break down of lessons including assessment : - Lesson break down included in the week plan so that you can see what students are expected to achieve. Topics covered in this unit of work: - -Connectivity -Hardware -IP address -Data Packets / Packet Switching -Hardware -Encryption -Topologies -Advantages / Disadvantages

This shows students how to design a class with a class diagram. It walks through the need to design classes and there is a worksheet attached that gets the students do design the class and build the program. They can use a number of different programming opportunities with this and it will help them for their A-level project.

This unit of work should break down planning techniques and give students a structure with some assessments to complete and assignment sheets to go with it. There are three assessment points. A timeline of what to complete and when as well as PowerPoint slides to go with each of the resources. This should give you some structure / guidance for delivering this in 2022.

This resource introduces the creation of a spreadsheet to users with multiple videos. There are 7 Powerpoints with some activities to complete. Over 12 video tutorials which include the following skills. There is a learning Journey document which shows what they should have learnt as well as a curriculum planning sheet for your faculty. Formatting Formula Absolute Cell References Sorting / Filtering If Statements Freezing rows and columns Charts Conditional Formatting Pivot Tables Macros (3 Assessment Points with Tick sheets) Sample Assessment

This worksheet introduces sound to the students. They’re expected to answer a series of questions which talk about analogue sound, bit rate and bit depth. There are questions included which build on knowledge that they may have previously covered. For example, ASCII and Unicode. There are also questions about lossless and lossy compression included which support the need for compression on files.

Assessment covering the following areas of data representation: - Units - bits, bytes, nibble etc... Numbers - converting to hex, denary and binary Binary Shift How to convert whole denary numbers Characters - use of binary codes Character Sets Images - How to represent images as a series of pixels Images - Metadata included in a file Images - Colour depth and resolution Sound - Sampling rates / Size / Bit Rate / Frequency Compression - Need for compression / types of compression

Objective: - We’re learning to identify the hardware and classification linked with networks. This lesson includes notes in the teacher slides to help teachers understand the content they're delivering with links to videos and also embedded videos. During this lesson students will learn about: Client server models Client-Server Servers available Peer to peer networks Advantages and disadvantages Network hardware NIC Wireless access points Routers Switches Draw your own network diagram

This lesson gives you a structured break down to delivering the Micro:bit lesson for the first time. I have combined this with the Micro:bit book to make the creeper face. In this lesson: - * reason for the Micro:bit and discussion with the students * students given time to read health and safety instructions and feedback to the teacher * how to get onto the website. * pictures to show how to connect to the website * how to download the program in 3 easy steps * how to get the program onto the MicroBit * worksheet with extension * introduction to Selection * Challenge with video

This lesson will introduce to students how they're able to sequence and talks about how they're able to make code more efficient. There are teacher notes and there is information about advanced selection. This lesson will introduce Tinker time and will get the students to use pages within Kodu. Students will continue to work with Kodu after this to complete their game.

This scheme of work is purely a way of structuring some of the content for primary of secondary. There is examples of selection, moving and how to clone objects within the game. The first 3 lessons come with evidence worksheets and it's broken down in such a way to help you support your students. Students are encouraged through this scheme of work to develop a game but also to take regular print screens of testing their game. I have included all worksheets and powerpoints and there are lesson plans. The lesson plans are basic but show how to split the lesson into tasks. There is a free lesson to give you an idea of what to expect.

Lesson explaining how Data representation works. There is a PowerPoint which walks through two methods of conversion but it also specifies how to use binary.
