A simple PowerPoint Assembly that takes students through 4 steps to encourage them to revise actively rather than simply read material again and again. (Please also see the PSHE tutorial version.)

Fun little tutorial to teach all the things pupils want to do in Scratch, move, baddies and directional lasers. The videos are silent and the link is to the finished game on the Scratch Website. However most importantly it gives students the basic code to do their own ideas...

Simple Guide to adding a form in MS Access 2010. Could be used as part of Top Trumps Scheme of Work. (See links)

This lesson focuses on the role of advertising agencies and what they can do for a company. In the original plan I gave students material to read, but you might prefer to allow them to do a Web-hunt to analyse the role of the agency.

You might be surprised by what colour combinations students respond to. I have a number of SEN students that find certain colour combinations far easier to read. Great SEN tool to help students find most comfortable colour combinations. This can also be used in ICT to help students think about design combinations for PowerPoint.

This is a guide to branding for GCSE Business Studies complete with lesson plan. I hope it is useful.

This Slideshow teaches students to use Master Slides and backgrounds effectively.

As a follow up to an Elasticity class I got the students to make their own Elasticity problems. The resulting effort I thought was good enough to use for teaching and shows how much effort students can put into their work. This can either be used as a straight worksheet or an example for others to make their own scenarios. I hope this is useful.

This is a complete Web Design module that can be used in Keystage 3 or as a refresher in Keystage 4. It uses the free software, Kompozer which is a WYSIWYG designer but enables you to see the code at a glance. In the module students design a Web Safety site, helping them to understand how to use the web safely. There are links to the software, the sample site and the planning lesson. (Videos are silent) Please be warned that students have made Internet safety disclosures during these lessons. Be prepared.

This lesson shows real crimes and the punishments that people get from them. My law students thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and were quite surprised by the leniency of most judges...

Automated marking has saved me weeks of time and enabled me to achieve quantifiably better results. This guide shows teachers how they can use automatic marking to improve formative and summative assessment. There's no theory here, just how to do it step by step.

This little presentation introduces Cartoon Story Maker. A great little application made by the Victorian State Government. The entire presentation was made using it and the first link shows you the end result it saves. The other link is to download the software for yourself. (Requires Adobe Flash to use)

These worksheets teach students about the ratings systems for games and how appropriate different games are for children. These worksheets would be useful as part of a Games Design project in ICT and in PSHE and citizenship in teaching children to be responsible about what games they play. Also added a link to the Games Based Learning collection.

This little tutorial shows you how to make a Gantt chart using the free software GanttProject. It's a lot easier to introduce project management concepts when they don't have to be bogged down with the complex Maths involved or use software that's not really designed to do it.

This little video and associated materials helps students to make a spaceship and get it to move in Scratch. There is also a link to the completed game on Scratch which you might want to share. (No sound on the video, because my students don't have soundcards.) Hope it's useful. I've also included a link to the Games Based Learning section so that you can find more Scratch tutorials.

This is a complete BTEC Unit 3 including the assignment and Scheme of Work. It has been used and moderated in the past. I hope it is useful. If you update it, please let me know and I will repost or link to the updated version. (Assignment 2 has now been corrected.)

A revision PowerPoint to help students with the Edexcel exam. Page numbers refer to Revise Edexcel GCSE ICT. (Not necessary for students to use.)

This lesson shows students how important interpersonal skills in making good customer service.

A complete lesson with Slides, handouts, exercises and plan. This is one of my favourite lessons, because it opened up my students' minds to the fact that there are more OSes than just Windows and MAC OS.
