This is a sheet that can be used by pupils to analyse their own performance following mock exams or similar types of assessment. It asks them to reflect on how well they revised, what questions did they make silly mistakes on; which were easy for them; what areas to focus on in the future etc. which in these days of teacher accountability may be useful evidence to keep!
There is an editable word document which just needs you to edit the exam grade boundaries for your own and a .PDF file without them that you can use straight away.
A set of questions on RAM, ROM, Virtual Memory, Cache Memory etc. which can be used in two ways. Ask the class to work through C to A* or just give the relevant questions to pupils working towards that grade.
Self contained presentation which enables you to teach the basics behind graphics before using Fireworks etc. Contains a starter activity and tasks, suitable for all levels.
This set of resources includes an overview for a 2 year Key Stage 3 which is broken down into Digital Literacy, Computing and Information Technology. The assessment sheets are intended to be used throughout the delivery of the topics and can easily be adapted to suit the specifics of the topics delivered in your school. At the start of the topics the sheets are given out to the pupils and they set themselves 2 targets and an overall grade based upon what they will study. The sheets allow you to tick off or sign when you have seen the work completed by the pupil to save time when levelling at the end of the topic. At the end of the topic the sheets are used to allow the teacher to provide effective written feedback which is reflected upon and then responded by the pupil. Literacy keywords are embedded in the documents to allow you to comply with your whole school literacy policy easily and also to use these for homework, bingo, crossword starters etc.
Test suitable for year 12 students to check progress or as a revision aid.

This task provides a step by step guide to allow students to create their own text editor similar to notepad. They follow the guidance in the presentation to create their own text editor and all source code is provided to be used where appropriate. The presentation shows them how to publish the application with the intention that they will install it at home for their family to use as Beta testers. There is also a additional presentation which is to be used to check their understanding of the programme that they have just created. The idea is that they answer and add content to the PowerPoint before saving it as a video for the teacher to view. The questions in this presentation are structured to provide challenge to a range of ability's. I estimate that these materials could form the basis for 3 - 5 lessons and the price reflects the time spent to create the resources : - )
