(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.

(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.) Computational Thinking (learning to think in a logical/problem solving way) is the buzz word in the teaching of programming. By teaching students to predict the outcome of small pieces of code they naturally become better at building their own programs. Although this homework uses Scratch program code, the code is simply a vehicle to ask the questions and the homework may be used with students who have never seen Scratch. This homework focuses on move and rotate. Permission has been granted by the Scratch team to uses images of Scratch code. Have fun. My students loved these!

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 & DELETE functions followed by 5 pages of questions. This style of learning is very well received by students who "love solving the problems".

Create a version of the popular phone app Flappy Bird and then add Percy the Parrot of Doom, Invincibility and Increasing Difficulty to enhance the game. This colorful, exciting workbook introduces programming skills and develops problem solving skills while using proper computing terminology. Unlike a lot of programming resources this workbook has been targeted specifically at able Elementary School or Middle School students. During a series of increasingly challenging tasks students will create a version of the popular mobile phone app Flappy Bird. They then go on to enhance the game by adding another character, increasing levels of difficulty (using variables) and invincibility mode (using the timer). Students will be expected to think like real programmers solving problems and testing their solutions. The 52 page workbook contains detailed solutions to each task for both staff (who may lack programming confidence themselves) and students. A glossary of Computing terms is included at the back of the workbook. Once students have completed the tasks (either on their own or with some help) they should be well equipped to write computer programs of their own.
