<p>This download includes 4 presntations and a homework sheet.<br /> It is designed to introduce the wonderful BBC Microbit. Some schools were lucky enough to get some of the 1 million free Microbits give away at launch, the rest have to buy them (~£17 on Amazon).</p> <p>The pack starts with incrementing numbers, a doddle but gives the slower students time to get used to the web app. The 2nd lesson introduces selection in the form of the infamous “rock, paper, scissors” game. Lesson 3 encourages the students to choose a game to build. Lesson 4 uses the 4 sensors to test light levels, temperature, angles &amp; compass in a science worksheet.</p> <p>Please give me useful feedback in a review and follow me.</p>

<p>This presentation is designed for KS3 as an introduction to spreadsheeting. Included files are the presentation, the finished spreadsheet and a homework / assessment sheet.</p>

<p>Print this help sheet this help sheet to support students during Python Turtle lessons.<br /> The sheet contains the code needed to get started, an example of drawing geometric shapes using a loop and functions used in Python Turtle.<br /> i use this help sheet to keystage 3 students, Python Turtle is a great way of getting students into coding as it creates graphics as opposed to a text response</p>

<p>Using the pen tool to draw in Scratch which students generally find easy due to the block programming in Scratch.<br /> The presentations cover making geometric shapes using repeats (loops), plotting (using X Y coordinates - great tip - find out what your student’s Maths is like first to avoid disappointment!) and using functions to draw the same shapes in a drawing (e.g. windows in a house).<br /> These lessons lead nicely into drawing with Python Turtle.</p>

<p>Presentations walking students through the basics of using Adobe Fireworks to design Top Trumps cards using bitmap and vector images, finishing by exporting the image.</p>

<p>This sheet compliments my Introduction to BBC Microbits pack. Students build 4 mini programs, one for each sensor using all 4 triggers (Shake and bbutton presses). They fill in the sheet planning where they will use the Microbit sensors to test for best light conditiond etc.</p>

<p>Use this worksheet in lesson or set it for homework, plan what your sprites will look like in Scratch, how they will move and how they interact with each other</p>

<p>This presentation is a simple guide to designing effective and purposeful presentattions. Its a combination of my experience delivering to students in a long classroom meaning clarity is very important. It also looks at which parts of a presentations layout are important and how to avoid things like too much information. Its a presentation on how to avoid “death by Powerpoint”.</p>

<p>This game helps students relate X &amp; Y axes to the real world. It should be used with my Drawing with Scratch Advanced-ish download to get students to think about how to move sprites around in the popular visual programming game Scratch from MIT.</p>
