A quick and easy starter activity. Students need to name the parts of a computer (leading to my lesson on input, output or storage devices which is also available in my resources). Enjoy!

Descriptions of 10 famous people in business. Great for a small display. I’ve cut the answers off mine - you could cut these out separately and dot around the display so learners just have to match them up - or perhaps cover the names up. PDF format as it’s unlikely you’ll have the font to match.

This worksheet is ideal for a summary / review after teaching franchises. Also suits a home learning task. Includes a peer assessment space at the bottom as the answers are mostly advantages/disadvantages, so marking is easily done by learners. Enjoy.

Ideally printed on A3, students write about each part of the computer shown in the boxes and label the parts they can see. Space for teacher feedback and a gap task/extension/homework task to find one more part of the computer and define/label it. I've used this with year 7, but equally would suit up to GCSE and as low as year 5/6. Enjoy!

Saves making your own! 7 basic rules for students to follow when in the ICT suite/computer room. Enjoy!

This activity gets students to complete a profit and loss account for the fictional, Flippin’ Pancakes. Students must use all the data on the handout to complete the various activities. This is part of a differentiated task - there are three handouts which you might give to all students to complete in succession, or group students based on ability. If basing on ability, this is the more challenging activity.

Free quiz I made for a tutor time activity. Enjoy!

This activity gets students to complete a profit and loss account for the fictional, Barmy Burgers. Students must use all the data on the handout to complete the various activities. This is part of a differentiated task - there are three handouts which you might give to all students to complete in succession, or group students based on ability. If basing on ability, this is not the most challenging of the activities.

A short PowerPoint presentation to be used as a quick starter activity in a Computing or PSHE lesson focusing on Internet security. Students are given some brief information about password security (choosing a secure password) before being asked to rank 5 passwords (most to least secure). A quick resource that may provide a good discussion when the answers students have given are revealed! Enjoy, your feedback is always valued!

A nice shading activity to reinforce cell referencing, could be used as a starter or homework activity - great for year 7.

---This resource is similar to the match up resource, so don't buy if you've already invested in that resource!--- Students need to cut out each of the 10 cards (each card has two halves like a domino). They must then match the French to the English to translate the names of animals/pets. This should lead to them having a long matching string of cards from start to finish, like a row of corresponding dominoes. This resource could be cut out and laminated to form a reusable game. Perfect for KS2 or year 7 french, introducing names of pets in French or for lower ability year 8 groups. Printing in colour will also help highlight the usage of le/la un/une for masculine/feminine words. Ideal starter to introduce the words, main activity to reinforce translations or plenary to review a lesson. Enjoy. Feedback always gratefully received too.

TWO RESOURCES for the price of ONE with PowerPoint visual for whiteboard to reveal answers/lead discussion and DISPLAY/FLASH CARD resource potential! 1) Colour translation dominoes game = Students need to cut out each of the 10 cards (each card has two halves like a domino). They must then match the French to the English to translate different colours. This should lead to them having a long matching string of cards from start to finish, like a row of corresponding dominoes. This resource could be cut out and laminated to form a reusable game. 2) Colour translation cut ,match and stick activity = Students need to cut out each of the cards and match the French colour names to the English. Again, this resource could be cut out and laminated to form a reusable game. Perfect for KS2 or year 7 french, introducing names of colours in French or for lower ability year 8 groups. Ideal starter to introduce the words, main activity to reinforce translations or plenary to review a lesson. The presentation can also be printed and laminated for display purposes. Printing on A5 could make it form part of a keyword wall or printing 4 to a page would make ideal flashcards! Enjoy.

It's a great idea, at the end of a topic or unit, to get students to create their own quizzes. They can then complete one another's to test their understanding or to revise a topic. I've created a PowerPoint template for students to be given to produce a quiz. The PowerPoint is fully linked because the main purpose of this type of activity is the questions and the answers, not the linking together! This also means this activity lends itself to ANY SUBJECT and a range of year groups. There are ten question spaces, students can easily use 'duplicate slide' to add more questions though. As an extension, whilst other students complete their work, students can improve the look of their quiz or add further elements. This activity comes with a peer assessment sheet - the idea being that students should be given the opportunity to complete one another's quizzes (further recapping and revising a topic) and 'rate' them on various criteria. This sheet is in word format, should teachers wish to add to or amend the criteria. As the sheet is editable, it could be used for other peer assessment evidence - as you're paying for this resource it's worth adapting to get the best value for money!! Overall, a fun activity leading to quite an interactive peer assessment activity. Teachers don't need to be skilled in the IT behind the linking/functions of the quiz - just make it available on a shared drive for students to take a copy of before completing it! Enjoy.

See a video preview of this resource below! Such GREAT value for money… you can use this for any year group, any topic or even any subject once downloaded! USE OVER AND OVER AGAIN!! Remember the game where you’re shown a tray of objects - then they’re covered and you have to remember as many as you can… Well this it THAT game in literacy/teaching and learning terms! Perfect for a starter or plenary activity, students are asked to memorise ten key words / terms. They then have 45 seconds to recall them independently. Perfect for embedding spelling / literacy in your lesson. The PowerPoint has been set up to run itself, so no timers required! All text, ideas are mine. Images are public domain and sounds are royalty free. Enjoy!

BEFORE YOU COMMIT YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY; view the video to see the quality of this resource below! This PowerPoint contains eight generic starter activities suitable for upper KS2 to Post-16 teaching in ANY subject. I’ve also provided a set of teacher notes to accompany the resource which opens up the activities to a variety of adaptations which does mean the eight activities can be used over-and-over again, even with the same class! I’ve tried really hard to make sure the PowerPoint is well designed and engaging. The main aim was MINIMUM effort from the teacher, MAXIMUM gain - incorporating elements of literacy into ANY subject area. I’d love your feedback. Enjoy!

An eight page student booklet and accompanying outline of six lessons of work that gets students to create a PowerPoint presentation about either the Loch Ness Monster or Big Foot to include text, links, images and sounds. This is a fun, short unit of work suitable for Key Stage 3 ICT or Computing lessons. I must stress that, unlike some of my other resources, this is not a pick up and go, fully planned unit of work. It is an engaging student booklet that is GREAT for collating evidence of student work and it is a collection of six lesson OUTLINES. Teachers will need to add to this in order to fully teach reliability and skills in producing a multimedia presentation. I'd see this as a perfect first unit for either year 7 or 8 to get them started for a year of engaging ICT or Computing lessons. Enjoy! Any feedback is, as always, greatly received.

'Understanding Computers'; scheme of work and accompanying student booklet for Key Stage 3 Computer Science. Fully planned and resourced, print and go. The unit of work has been referenced against the new KS3 programme of study for Computing. The unit includes short topics on hardware, software, devices, input, output, storage, binary numbers, convergence and future technologies and is a good basis for an introduction to computers. This unit would ideally suit year 7 or 8 students and has elements of differentiation throughout to allow teachers to deliver the same unit of work to multiple ability groups (save on the planning!). The scheme of work should also give you some fresh ideas for more creative teaching strategies in Computing. *Copyright Notice* I have produced this under the name Barnett Education (that's me!). All text is mine, all images are public domain and are credited (p.12 student book).

NEW! See a video of this resource in action below BEFORE choosing to buy. TOP quality, fully resourced purchase. Can I first apologise if anyone is actually French and using this! I think I have expertly translated as best I can. Excusez-moi! This version of my plenary selector gets students to look back at what they have learnt in a French lesson. Slide 1 includes a spinning wheel that can be stopped to choose the plenary for the lesson. There are seven different outcomes so it could be used regularly and routinely in lessons to get students to reflect on their learning, all fully resourced where required. The PowerPoint took ages to make and code, so please don’t share too readily! You must enable macros on your computer to allow it to work, or get in touch with your IT technician! Enjoy. I own all text, even the French stuff. Images are public domain and copyright free.

A single A4 sheet asking learners to calculate revenue and profit for a given scenario. Perfect for EdExcel Business Studies topic 1.3.2. Comes as a printable PDF, a host online PDF and with answers! Enjoy.
