How can students prepare for the A267 exam if they don't have a computer at home? Get them to think through the process they would go through in the exam, to complete the A267 exam. Before and after screenshots of tasks in Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Publisher and Access: How did the student get from Point A to Point B. Great for revision, class discussion or home learning.

A simple resource to revise the key skills required in the A451 Programming unit. Idea of use in lesson: 2 minute madness game - "Explain to the person beside you the items on the memory jogger in 2 minutes". The other person then writes down what they remember. Then you move round one, to the next person, and do the next memory jogger in the pack.

Preparing for the GCSE Business Communication Systems A267 exam. Students seem to dislike/fear mail merge. I have created this resource to bring the 'fun' element into mail merge, in a way that students will understand how it works. My access file wouldn't upload, so I have exported the database to excel.

Python Efficiency - Lesson 2 Menu-driven Program Creating a menu using Procedures, Functions and Selection. Menu to perform calculations: Add, subtract, multiply or divide 2 numbers from user input. (Example Python code in text file - simply copy and paste into Python)

Key Stage 3 Computer Science HTML & Dreamweaver Unit Systems Security Website Lesson 7 - Identifying Vulnerabilities & External Hyperlinks Practical: External Hyperlinks using HTML code Theory: Identifying vulnerabilities in computer networks

Scratch - Secondary Perspective. Following on from practice learning game provided by teacher, students will now develop games in order to demonstrate programming skills. A good way of introducing terms that they will use when exploring Python later in the year. Iteration Selection Lists User input Output Broadcast (aka. function in Python)

Year 8 - HTML & Dreamweaver Project on Security Systems. How to user guide for common tasks in Dreamweaver. Students have on desk to prevent need to teacher-assist: 1) Look in the How to Guide 2) Ask a peer for help 3) If you still don't know, then ask the teacher.

End of term activity comparing Scratch and Python. Lists Sequence Selection User Input Variables Output. Based on the 12 Days of Christmas songs. First 4 days completed in Scratch and Python to give the structure of the code for students to complete the challenge for the other 8 days. A bit of programming fun to end the term. (Python code included in notepad - copy and paste into Python; screenshots of Scratch code, in case the file won't open). Merry Christmas.

Key Stage 3 Computer Science HTML & Dreamweaver Unit Systems Security Website Lesson 6 - Threats Posed and Rollover Images Practical: Manipulating rollover images using HTML code Theory: Threats posed to computer networks.

An example of how to present the planning, development, testing and evaluation of a Python program - to assist students in the thought process/evidence required for the A453 Controlled Assessment.

As requested by my students to practice for their controlled assessment, prompt sheets for common tasks. Adding a record number to a file. Reading from, writing to, appending file. Lists, for loops and while loops. Troubleshooting Trees

Python Efficiency module - using functions. Adding to file. Reading from file. Explanation Example with annotation. Practice task. Code included for teacher example.

Lesson 8 Feedback Page Final lesson in the HTML and Dreamweaver unit for KS3 Unit has been on Systems Security. The final webpage teaches students how to create forms in Dreamweaver using different types of questions. Differentiated resources.

How to: Use imported modules in a Python program Introductory lesson to: random time turtle tkinter Developing students use of the programming cycle: Analyse, Plan, Success Criteria, Develop, Test and Evaluate. Python code in notepad - copy and paste into Python.

Using Lists in Python 09.02.17 Success Criteria: Create list Print list and elements in list Add elements to a list Alter elements in a list Remove elements from a list Sort elements in a list Activity Python code in a text file.

Key Stage 3 Computer Science CS1 Understanding Computers Lesson 2: Introducing Flash Creating a title sequence for the 'Understanding Computers' animation In this unit, students are introduced to the theory of how a computer works (basic level - Year 7). They will learn the theory and develop ICT skills in Flash concurrently, creating an animation summarising key learning. Lesson plan Flash student activity Example animations of title sequence (differentiated).

Key Stage 3 Computer Science CS1 Understanding Computers Numeracy bridge lesson This lesson bridges the gap between the PA1 Scratch unit and CS1 Understanding Computers unit for Year 7. The lesson focuses on the computer system - Input - Process - Storage Output. The activities are based around the Little Man Computer simulation.
