Students are shown a web page in a browser, each of which are not displaying as intended. Students told how the web page should have looked and have to identify what error may have been made in the code that would cause each page to display as shown. Question 2 may be used to generate lots of good discussion as often there may be several possible answers. This could easily be used as class written work or for staff absence cover. The download includes the original HTML files created while writing the questions. These may be used for demonstration, discussion or as part of your HTML course.

(Greg Reid has written two Computing text books for the Scottish education system. His resources are used in thousands of schools all over the world.) Five intermediate level worksheets that teach the specialist skills of computer drawing using shapes (known as vectors). These colourful, professional resources cover cutting shapes in two, adding effects like transparency, shadows or filters and how to add clip art from Serif's built in gallery. Worksheet II introduces students to nodes, allowing them to potentially create as complicated a shape or drawing as they wish. Previously these resources had an average rating of 5. Previous comments are shown below: &quot;Thank you for sharing these fab resources!&quot; &quot;Just what I needed to introduce Serif Drawplus to my students, thank you!&quot; &quot;Great resource, thank you :)&quot; &quot;Fantastic resource - thank you so much for sharing!&quot; Basic and Advanced worksheets are also available.

(My resources are used in thousands of schools all over the world. I hope you enjoy this one.) At the end of my App Inventor unit I asked my students to create a phone app of their own. While most coped well others required a bit more help. These three worksheets provide worked examples to be used for inspiration. The worksheets may also be used by staff who wish to see working examples of apps as part of their own learning. Screenshots and images from App Inventor for Android are created and shared by Google and used according to terms described in the Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution License located at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0 Have fun.

Creating Professional Looking Teaching Resources

Creating Professional Looking Teaching Resources

(0)
Ever wished you could write resources that looked like they could have been professionally written? This staff tutorial teaches the skills and techniques required to create colourful, professional looking resources quickly. If you'd like to sell resources yourself or simply improve your own classroom resources this download is a great place to start. Today’s pupils live in a world where they are surrounded by colourful, interactive content which is literally at their fingertips. It should come as no surprise then that when presented with a white worksheet covered with black text and a couple of Googled graphics many pupils instinctively respond negatively. A modern teacher has a responsibility to improve their own skills in order to create engaging resources Note that this version of the tutorial contains instructions to create resources using Serif PagePlus, a very popular desktop publishing application. PagePlus is used in many schools due to its fun interface, ease of use and fantastic facilities. I highly recommend it to colleagues when delivering training on this topic. This staff tutorial could possibly be used with older students to teach the skills required to write professional looking reports.

Make your lessons fun with Computational Thinking! Structured Query Language is a programming language used to manipulate information stored in databases. As with all programming languages the best way to learn its functions is through solving problems. In this series of fun worksheets (or possible homework sheets) are sets of problems that are solved by writing or interpreting SQL instructions. Students must either predict the output of SQL instructions or calculate the SQL that must have been used to produce some given output from a database. Set 2 includes an explanation of the uses of INSERT, UPDATE &amp; DELETE functions followed by 5 pages of questions. This style of learning is very well received by students who &quot;love solving the problems&quot;.
