A series of videos that show students how to create a DTP version of the Mail on Sunday. Your best students should be able to create something that would be hard to tell from the real thing!! The 2 graphics are an example front cover and the masthead of the paper. Sorry about the lack of controls on the films, but can't re-render.
Series of tutorials using Impress (sorry for wrongly labelling this as Powerpoint previously) to create a quiz that uses triggered animations and sounds recorded by students. Ideal exercise for combining ICT with Languages. I must apologise to any French teachers in advance for me poor attempts at speaking the language!!
Useful for unit 20 of the OCR Nationals course. A set of short videos about how to create a simple banner advert in Flash. If you don't like cartoon violence then a penguin being hit by a car may not be for you. Once again sorry about the lack of controls but I have lost the original screencasts.
Sorry about the lack of controls on the videos but I can't find the original recordings to rerender. Anyway nice set of tutorials to show kids how to make a two player racing game in scratch. Have to admit there are a few mistakes later on, but kids will be able to work out how to amend!!
We use this exam with our year 7's as their end of year exam. The mark scheme is a simple tick sheet exercise that enables you to grade the work created very quickly. Sorry about all the separate photos but you can't use a zip file here.
Set of tutorials that guide students through how to create a set of top trumps based on teachers at their school. Tables, forms, reports and queries all covered and you actually have a database exercise that kids will enjoy. Make sure the kids simply save each of the avatars as they go along.
In these videos we show you how to make a quiz using triggered animations and Open Office Impress rather than Powerpoint. In this example, we create a quiz for a French class and this sort of work is a good cross curricular exercise between ICT and languages.
The following videos explain how you can integrate monkeyjam, audacity and a graphics program of your choice (I use fireworks) to create something a little more advanced than the standard 'lego youtube' efforts that we have all seen.
These videos show you how you can genuinely use a Nintendo Wii combined with a copy of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games in the classroom to inject a bit of fun into a relational database build.
Simple tutorial but highly effective and engaging for students of all ages. Using just 2 layers in Flash and a few tools you can create a piece of art work in the style of Julian Opie. You will be surprised at just how good your students will get with this one, we have some amazing work on the walls at school that Mr Opie himself would have been proud of....
Very cool tutorial that shows how to construct a set of rollover buttons that are all sliced up and act as various triggers to link to websites, change the rollover colour and change another image. Perfect for students chasing a distinction grade on unit 21 of the OCR Nationals.
It's a series of camtasia tutorials (vid files) and video footage taken with a camcorder (film files) that explain how to construct a database suitable for a video store. Tables, forms, reports and queries are all covered and some 'advanced' features like combo boxes and report calculations. Please check the document 'order of videos' to get everything in the right way!!
Lots of Flash tutorials to show how to make a fabulous animated banner that links to a website. Motion tweening, shape tweening, movie clips and actionscript all included. Suitable for the OCR unit 20, if perhaps a little more advanced than strictly necessary.
Of all my scratch tutorials this is my favourite. Lots of skills and commands used in scratch and the kids end up with a game that they will genuinely play. Loads of extension possibilities are easily identifiable too.
We have had a few posts on the ICT forum in the past about how to mail merge a picture. Seem to get lots of long winded answers so I thoguht I would create this video to show you how it is done. I have used this video with my own AS level students who are doing the WJEC course.
I had a request from a student doing a GCSE database project that involved wanted to make a form that listed only the models of a specific make of car on the form. So I made this video and throught someone else might find it useful.
Yes it's a fab set of videos to show kids how to make the very first video game Pong. Once they are happy with it I would personally set them the task to make the game 'breakout'.
A series of video tutorials to show students how to build a website from scratch using Dreamweaver.

A series of video tutorials to show students how to build a website from scratch using Dreamweaver. Very suitable for OCR National students who want to access distinction grades. Certainly useful for AS level students too and there is no reason why the more able KS3 student could not use this material too.
Also covers some basic work with Fireworks and Flash too. PLEASE NOTE 2 MORE VIDEOS IN THIS SERIES IN PART 2
