Outstanding Drawing in PowerPoint Resource

Outstanding Drawing in PowerPoint Resource

(0)
FULL LESSON: Includes Starter, Video Tutorials, Lesson Presentation, Print Screen Instructions and Printable Plenary. Not to mention differentiation with the Scaffolding presentation. Fantastic resource for a new Year 7 or Year 8 class to test their skills in problem solving and using drawing tools in PowerPoint. Students will use a range of tools such as the Intersect option when you merge group shapes and editing points on shapes to change basic shapes to match their need. Not to mention building on Audience and Purpose skills! The plenary can be either self or peer assessment but the printable worksheet is available for you to print. I used this lesson with a Year 7 class and was graded as Outstanding. So I know this lesson can get you outstanding. The weaker students use the Scaffolding presentation as it has some of the basic shapes and outlines to help them on their way.
Website Design Planning

Website Design Planning

(0)
Resource to help with the planning of a website. Students must plan the buttons and are prompted to plan the style of them when they are hovered on as well as static. Students then have to plan the layout of each webpage. An example is included to model against. I have included a sources log so students can log the resources they need as they plan their layout. They will then have a complete list of the images and text they need to find for each page. Good resource for a non ICT room and to make sure that all elements have been planned and organised before website creation. Original included so can be tweaked for your lesson.

Outstanding Project to for students to independently work through and manage their time . Excellent bridging unit before starting a GCSE ICT controlled assessment. Includes 22 downloads or create lesson material such as worksheets or task supports. A Management Agency asks the students to plan a tour for a Band/Artist. The project leads the students to > Research artist > Use sources Tables > Set up folder structures > Create Publication material (Programs, Billboards, Calendars ect) > Compile questionnaires > Complete Surveys > Analyse Survey results > Evaluate Processes > Create E-Portfolio. All these skills help student in their GCSE ICT project, so this is a fantastic bridging unit. A chance for students to practice skills without spoiling their Controlled Assessment. Can be expanded by adding Database task.

Image Representation Outstanding Lesson

(0)
An outstanding resource to teach about Image Representation. Covers a lot of areas and has clear explanations of important areas such as resolution, colour depth, meta data, lossy and lossless compression techniques. Each task is graded for differentiation to help students achieve their target grades. There is extension tasks aimed at the More Able students who I refer to as "Peg People". Every More Able student has a small peg clipped to their folder so that they know when ever they see a small peg image on work that they must complete this task. Also includes exam style questions.

Searching the Internet Task Workbook

Independent Web Quest. Inc Research, Implementation, Peer Assessment and Evaluation WORKBOOK, Excellent workbook with check list, success criteria and extension activity to aid independent learning. I have used this for cover lessons as it encourages students to keep focus and I can accurately assess the work completed in the lesson. Students have to create a Hyperlinked Presentation about the Day of their birth following guidelines about what they must include. Examples are given to start the student off. Once complete the next step in the booklet is to create a questionnaire for peers to complete about their presentation. Students also have to act upon feedback and improve where necessary. The next task would be to evaluate the whole process before completing the extension activity. Fabulous resource that can last 3-4 lessons. Can be used as cover for absent staff or as an assessment activity.

Show Progress Sheet

Fantastic worksheet to show progress in a lesson. Used mainly in my Computer Science lessons but can be used in any topic where students complete end of unit tests. Students identify areas they need to improve and also identify the impact of their improvement, for example the number of grades they would be from their target if they make the improvement. My students know this as levelling up.
