BTEC First L2 Unit 1 Online World "Do It Now" Revision Activities Bundle

2 Resources
The first set of this revision resource proved so popular among my learners that I had to make some more! So here they are as a bundle… These “Do It Now” activity sheets are designed for the BTEC Fist in Information and Creative Technology – Unit 1: The Online World externally set exam. You have probably heard of “Do Nows” – brief warm-up activities that are usually at the beginning of a lesson to help students to start thinking. They are rooted in Dewey’s constructivist theory as well as Hinton, Fischer & Glennon’s active learning theories of student-centred learning. These can take place in the usual “Online World” session but can also be used at the beginning of any IT classes when the Online World exam is coming up. I know how difficult it is to squeeze in mock exams so you could think of these as mini-mocks! They are designed to be quick (five minutes for the questions, five for the answers) and to provide a different revision and recall route for your learners. However, they could just as easily be given out as homework or used by individual students for short revision bursts. Each activity sheet contains two multiple choice, one or two “explain” questions and two or three “true or false” statements. The latter does not exist in the exam as a question type but is intended here, to give students quick and easy definitions for course elements that regularly appear in the exams. Elements from all Learning Aims are included on each sheet wherever possible, but Learning Aims A & B are at the forefront. Answers are included, of course! This time round I have included a few network diagrams for learners to label, too. As they are time-constrained they reproduce an exam-style atmosphere where students must spend five minutes silently working on the questions. The answers can then be delivered in a way that you choose, to best suit your learners. I tend to ask individuals the answers and choose them according to ability. This part of the activity can often provoke discussion which will help students recall the information again. The activity sheets are formatted in PowerPoint – you can edit as you wish. These activities have proven highly popular with my learners and I hope will with yours too!

BTEC L2 Extended Cert in ICT - Grade Calculator in Excel

(0)
This editable spreadsheet allows your students to calculate their grades easily. It has the following units: Online World, Tech Systems, Digital Portfolio, Graphics, Animation, Spreadsheets, Databases. Web Design, Computer Networks. It does give ‘false’ results if students enter high grades for some units and none for the others so there is a note at the side warning them of this!

Four Spreadsheet Exercises for Beginners

(0)
These spreadsheet exercises were created for the BTEC Level 2 Extended Certificate in Information and Creative Technology but might be used in any beginners Spreadsheet class. They are design to be done after some teacher input and cover a number of simple function and formulae. These include: Addition Subtraction Multiplication Percentages Simple IF statement Minimum Maximum Average Creating simple charts and graphs Wrapping Text Borders and fills Change of font and size The aim, too, is to get learners to think about the math rather than blindly following instructions without really ‘getting it’. These exercises can be done by students of varying abilities - and there are some additional activities on each sheet for those who finish first.

Entity Relationship Diagram Tool & Form Design Template

(1)
These two PowerPoint slides are designed for students learning about Database Development at Levels 2 and 3. The first allows a user to create an Entity Relationship Diagram by dragging and dropping elements on to the screen - only the central part of which is in the print area. The second allows a user to drag and drop elements on to the print area in order to design a form in access. Elements include labels, images, text boxes and buttons. These two PPs allow learners who are acquiring database skills to experiment with their designs. I have found them very useful delivering the Database Development Unit for the BTEC Level 2 Extended Certificate in Information and Creative Technology.
