KS3

Summary 

This unit covers some of the legal safeguards regarding computer use, including overviews of the Computer Misuse Act, Data Protection Act and Copyright Law and their implications for computer use. Phishing scams and other email frauds, hacking, “data harvesting” and identity theft are discussed together with ways of protecting online identity and privacy. Health and Safety Law and environmental issues such as the safe disposal of old computers are also discussed. Safety is discussed outside the realm of e-safety which is covered in greater detail in the Using computers safely, effectively and responsibly unit. Assessment for this unit is by means of a multiple choice test.

What's included in the 10th Anniversary toolkit?

The new units have been written to satisfy the new National Curriculum for Computing. They are designed for teaching at KS3 but individual lessons in some units may also be appropriate for teaching Key Stages 2 or 4, particularly where Year 10 students may not previously have been exposed to certain topics.

1. Revised content based on teacher feedback that fully meets the national curriculum requirements 
2. Full HD 16:9 widescreen presentations with enriched illustrations 
3. New starters and plenaries with every lesson 
4. Full answer slides for all questions asked in presentations 
5. Worksheets with answers for every lesson 
6. Homework sheets with answers for every lesson 
7. Updated learning objectives and unit assessments 
8. Updated lesson plans for new and non-specialist teachers 
9. Pointer slides to worksheet activities in all presentations 
10. An improved foundation and progression for the latest GCSE and vocational qualifications 

What people say...

”

We had been looking around for some KS3 computing resources for some time.  However, we couldn't find any that were suitable and value for money. The PG Online units provided us with exactly what we were looking for to get our new computing curriculum up and running. Each unit is designed to provide a complete solution including; comprehensive lesson plans, editable presentations and an end of unit assessment. Purchasing these units have saved us valuable time and has helped us to create a curriculum which is both easy to follow and engaging.

The feedback I have had from my staff are all positive. We use your material and adapt each to suit our students. It has certainly made our life easier, especially as there are so many other factors that take up our time. It’s actually the first time I have bought in resources in the last 6 years. What we like is the quality of the resources, the activities are engaging for our students and the assessment material is varied (tests as well as tick sheet) and easy for students to understand.
