Ethics debates for AQA GCSE Computer Science 9-1 8520

(0)
A PowerPoint presentation with over 100 ethical and legal debates for AQA Computer Science 9-1 (8520) Investigate and discuss Computer Science technologies while considering: ethical issues legal issues cultural issues environmental issues. privacy issues. Written by subject specialists, with in depth debates that are relevant to students. Content covers AI, automation, gaming, privacy, hacking, security, cloud services, piracy, copyright, algorithms, emerging technology, wearable technology and more! The pack includes a voting card that you may choose to use for students to vote, or students can move from one side of the room to another. A great resource that can be used for starters or plenaries, and can also become the basis of an entire lesson.

Binary Search full lesson

(0)
A full lesson for Binary search. The intention is for you to run through the presentation with the basics of the algorithm. The resources are not language dependent (although the coding challenge does have a solution in Python, this is easily changed to your language of choice) Students then have arrows cut out of ArrowsActivityResources.docx and record the algorithm stepping through numbers.docx The students then optionally step through NamesToSearch.docx Students then code TaskPseudocodeGuessingGame.doc Then students should be able to code the binary search algorithm!
