Video tutorials based on the work of @gideonwilliams that take learners through making Pacman in Scratch. PS - video number 7 is by Jake in my Y7 group who figured out how to stop the prizes reappearing in the walls. I've also put an AfL-style before & after self assessment sheet in that&'s really good for starters é plenaries.

<p>Four task sheets for students learning Scratch programming at KS3.</p> <p>Each sheet has tasks that follow the PRIMM pedagogical framework recommended by the NCCE.</p> <p>Each one is designed to last roughly a single 1 hour lesson combined with teacher input/modelling etc.</p> <p>The sheets give students code comprehension and writing practice in the following programming techniques:</p> <ol> <li>Output with ‘Say’</li> <li>Variables and input with ‘Ask/Answer’</li> <li>Variables and operators - basic mathematical and true/false logical operators</li> <li>Selection - if and else</li> </ol> <p>Sheets are in MS Word and PDF formats.</p>

<p>A nice little lesson in which learners edit the HTML of a basic text web page to customise it.</p> <p>Lesson slides, task sheet, boilerplate HTML file and images included.</p> <p>Also comes with two videos showing students how to get started the tasks.</p> <p>This lesson is a LOT easier if you set the files in a folder structure on your network that students can copy/paste into their own workspaces first. Also, ensure learners save the structure exactly as you want.</p> <p>The first video gives an example of how I’ve done it on our network.</p>

<p>A full set of lesson slides and student task sheets for introducing python programming to beginners.</p> <p>This unit has lessons on:<br /> Output<br /> Input<br /> Variables<br /> Variables with operators<br /> Count controlled iteration<br /> End of Unit Assessment</p> <p>The unit uses the PRIMM pedagogy - there are student tasks for each of the stages on every task sheet. All relevant tasks have links to starter code.</p>

A lesson designed to introduce copyright and creative commons. Learners watch a YouTube video and complete a match activity. They then complete an activity in which they search for copyright free images to match some song lyrics.

Short starter activity. 2 sheets per page. On the left is a collection of images of mobile designs before 2007. On the right are images of phones post 2007. Students have to guess what happened in 2007 to cause the shift in design.

This homework helps pupils to understand the importance of picking relevant keywords when searching the web. It's a competition to see who can get the fewest search results with a two word search. The aim of the game is to try and find a Googlewhack.

Remember Minipops? This is a complete SOW in which learners design and create their own multiple choice quiz. The web link leads to a lesson by lesson outline with video tutorials and assessment materials.
