If you have ever used my previous top down racer videos then I would suggest you move on to these ones as they are superior. Loads of skills to create a 2 player racing game like micro machines, lap counters, oil slicks, speed ups, and showing how to stop any cheats. Will keep kids busy for about 2-3 hours in general.

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.

Podcast that examines how teleworking will impact upon the employer. Useful for GCSE and AS level revision.

This is a sample chalkboard that I created for use with my AS level students on the WJEC course. You can find more of these on Teach-ICT, but they are not free. They are however my best work to date.

Some basic graphics work to get kids to make fabulous artwork to adorn your classroom walls with. All using the free browser based graphics editor called Pixlr so everyone can access this lesson. Jolly good fun that will keep the kids busy for a couple of hours at least.

Series of videos to show kids how to make an insert for a video game case. The example uses a well known series of football games and will keep your students busy for many hours and they will learn some really good graphics skills along the way. It’s a really good project that your students will enjoy. I made the videos a few years ago now but it all still works today.

Quite simply there is nothing out there better than this set of tutorials to get your students’ heads around scratch. Most teachers will use YouTube videos or paid for resources and frankly the kids learn very little by just repeating what they see on the video or printed in front of them. Why is this app different? Because each video sets a task for the student to do and eventually it builds into a playable game. If your students struggle with a with a task then there is also a solution video and there is always a final video to identify extension tasks to stretch and challenge the most able. I promise you that you will change what you currently use and have your students use these videos on your tablets at school. Best of all the apps are completely free. Apple/iOS - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/scratch-tutorials/id1546971406 Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.popseven.scratchtutorials We have dropped a couple of files as examples of how the videos, in the app itself there are around 70 video files though!
