GDPR CPD - Breach Awareness
This GDPR CPD resource is aimed at developing awareness of data breaches in staff by asking them to consider a series of common scenarios. This group activity removes the burden of the GDPR lead to deliver training as the school authority, and instead asks staff to identify the actions and mitigations required to deal with some common causes of data breaches in schools. The session ends with a set of priorities for improving security when handling data in school.
The activity resources are published as a single A3 PDF as a pack to be provided to groups of staff and can be adapted to support CPD sessions from 20 to 90 minutes.
A set of three worksheets designed to provide discussion when leading in to work with the micro:bit.
1. THE INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) Presents pupils with a range of IOT devices and asks pupils to consider why they are connected to the cloud.
2. WHAT PRODUCTS COULD I USE A MICRO:BIT FOR? asks pupils to respond to a range of micro:bit applications and consider further how these associations could be developed.
3.MICROBIT PARTS A quick exercise for identifying and recording the different parts of a micro:bit.
A 10 question maths based quiz aimed at KS2. Penny Quizzes explore the use of building block based computer games to introduce concepts across the curriculum.

BTEC Level 3 Subsidiary Diploma in Construction and the Built Environment Unit example assigment briefs for units 2 - 6.
Although outdated there are a number of excersies that would still be useful for the new range of Construction courses.
Third booklet in a series that explores the development of a novelty Santa hat as wearable tech using the BBC Microbit. Suitable for KS3 Computing or Design and Technology. This third 8 page booklet in the series looks at a range of switch types then explores how home made versions might be made. Pupils then sketch their own ideas and explore the code required to start their novelty hat program.
This presentation is one of a series aimed at supporting teachers wanting to introduce micro:bit programming into their lessons. The presentation is authored in a way to mimic the use of the block editors with a step by step tutorial while freeing the teacher to lead discussion. Each presentation contains linked questions to deepen learning and an embedded video to illustrate the microbit output.
The full PowerPoint presentation is available together with a link to a YouTube video to help the teacher familiarise themselves with the presentation sequence.
1 LONG COUNTDOWN simply takes the class step by step in producing a sequential countdown on the microbit's LED display .

3 MOVEMENT SENSOR reuses the decision loop introduced in SHORT COUNTDOWN to react to selected micro:bit inputs.
Second booklet in a series that explores the development of a novelty Santa hat as wearable tech using the BBC Microbit. Suitable for KS3 Computing or Design and Technology. This second 8 page booklet in the series introduces the range of micro:bit sensors, LED matrix and message strings and asks how these might be applied to this project. The booklet then looks at connecting external inputs and ends with experimenting with code.

2 SHORT COUNTDOWN builds on the code from LONG COUNTDOWN and introduces a variable and a iterative loop to produce a more efficient algorithm.
Fourth booklet in a series that explores the development of a novelty Santa hat as wearable tech using the BBC Microbit. Suitable for KS3 Computing or Design and Technology.
This fourth booklet in the series asks pupils to plan their tasks and identify equipment, components and tools needed. They are then asked to compose a Gantt chart then establish manufacturing costs.
Developed for the STEM Team Bridge Project but can be used in many contexts. This PDF file can be printed to produce 10 individualised chequebooks containing 20 cheques. Each cheque includes team number, 8 digit account number unique to the team, cheque number and stub. An editable version is available on request to purchasers.
The STEM Team Bridge Project is a whole class project aimed at Design and Technology at either KS3 or KS4. Each team is provided with an account with 100,000BB (Boulter Bucks) and invited to purchase from a range of available contracts for which the return for successful completion is greater than the purchase price.
This resource contains three tasks to supplement the contracts. A press release agreement, a social enterprise voucher and a tax return form used to complement work towards to the contracts.
These resources are in PDF format. Editable Word files are available on request for purchasers
