This is an EXAMPLE PAGE from my paid resource; an eight page student booklet and six lesson outlines on Multimedia Presentations and Web Reliability. On its own though, this activity is a great starter that gets students comparing two websites and making decisions about which is more reliable. A following class discussion/debate about overall choices should lead to some agreed criteria for what a reliable website looks like or contains. I hope you can make use of this resource, enjoy!

Useful for GCSE ICT students. Exam style questions on Internet Security feature; the Human Response Test. Ideal for homework.

These instructions show you step by step how to LINK to a YouTube clip from your lesson PowerPoints. There are more complicated instructions to actually EMBED clips into your presentations within my resources (free). Once set up, you click the link within your presentation and then you'll be taken directly to your chosen clip. This saves having the link, copying and pasting it in, and then loading up YouTube and makes for a more professional approach to presenting your lesson. These instructions are correct at the time of writing and work for most versions of PowerPoint. There's no need to feedback if they don't work for you, it might be your computer/version. Enjoy!

Here I've outlined one way to embed YouTube clips into your lesson PowerPoints. If this doesn't work, or is too complicated, search my resources for the other method! These instructions go through step-by-step how to embed YouTube clips into PowerPoint. This is a temperamental process, so if it doesn't work, try my other method (don't feedback to tell me it doesn't work, it works for most!). The videos are actually embedded into your presentation so there's no need to visit YouTube. You will need an internet connection when you play the presentation though. Good luck! Enjoy...

Print this sheet on A3. This is a quite engaging and relatively accessible start to Business Studies, particularly for Year 9 or low ability groups OR useful for PSHE or Enterprise lessons. They DRAW their idea for a business (there’s a shop front, so most will come up with businesses in retail, though could equally be a service based business like Estate Agents etc.). They then design a logo, flyer and come up with a business name. After this (which is a good introduction), I teach GOODS and SERVICES and SECTORS then get them to complete their sheet fully. I also get them to colour and make it look good for display. I’ve also included a version I made for new students who had just arrived from Poland. Enjoy.

Ideal plenary to an E-Safety lesson, or an ice-breaker to a PSHE Internet Safety session. There is a sound track to the first slide too; save everything to one folder - if it doesn't work you may need to set it up! Macros enable the shapes to move, so make sure they are enabled when a warning appears. Hope you enjoy!

A nice little sheet to get students thinking about Business costs. Students get help by finding the words in the word search! Enjoy.

Exactly what the title says! A blank, 5 period day, timetable template. Useful to give to students to copy up their weekly timetable or for teachers to display on the wall to show primary classes which lessons are scheduled for when. Uploaded as a Word document so it can be coloured/typed on to suit. There are two versions of the five period day to suit when you may have lunchtime. There's a six period day uploaded separately if that helps too! Enjoy!

This starter task introduces whether businesses OWN or OWE something. Essential when calculating working capital. There's a PowerPoint with answers. I've also uploaded a Working Capital booklet in my free resources which would follow this starter nicely and be an almost entire lesson! Enjoy.

Obviously I don't own the music, but it's a free resource! A simple PowerPoint which gives your learners one minute to complete a task/discussion/thinking time. Enjoy, for free!

I've been doing some work on planning for questioning and come up with this presentation as a tool to improve my questioning technique. I plan the questions I am going to ask and use Pose, Pause, Pounce, Bounce (NOT MY IDEA!) - I think this is a concept from Teacher Toolkit, though I could be wrong. My idea is the planning tool and the wait time. Teachers should write their planned questions on separate slides using the template, perhaps moving the circle in the top right hand corner to identify whether the question is open or closed (this helps me to ensure the majority of the questions I ask are open questions). Use the tool for a starter or plenary by showing the question (by clicking the yellow POSE button). Allow 15 seconds thinking time (by clicking the PAUSE button), the soothing Jeopardy music will play. Click POUNCE to ask for an answer from the student and then BOUNCE to ask the student to select someone who will answer the next question (or the teacher could do this). I hope this helps! Enjoy.

An editable template for a great starter activity (or plenary/review!). Simply change the questions on the wooden panels. Delete and resize if you need less panels. The 2nd slide is differentiated, so the more challenging questions are at the end. I don't own the format, obviously, so this resource is shared for free. I add the theme tune too, but for copyright reasons I can't share on TES! Enjoy!

A quick, low stakes activity to review storyboards.

A short task to complete after teaching learners about copyright.

A quick ‘do now activity’ / starter for use when teaching Small Business Ownership.

A homework activity sheet mainly aimed at year 7 or 8 students. Print-and-go activity! Enjoy!

Teacher PowerPoint and student handout to guide them through coding a rock, paper, scissors game using Block Editor on the Micro Bit website. The lesson includes two extension challenges. I start by playing rock, paper, scissors the old fashioned way, just so they get the idea of how the game works. Students then code it, add to the device and play the game themselves using their Micro:bit. Quite fun! Enjoy.
