KS3 Computing/ICT - Multimedia Presentations Student Booklet & Teacher Guide

KS3 Computing/ICT - Multimedia Presentations Student Booklet & Teacher Guide

(0)
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.

KS3 Understanding Computers FULL Scheme of Work & Student Booklet!

(0)
'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).
