KS3

Summary 

This is a theoretical unit covering the necessary basic knowledge to use computers safely, effectively and responsibly. Pupils begin by looking at file management and security. The unit then moves on to e-safety (cyber-bullying, phishing etc.), and online profiles to give pupils a better understanding and awareness of using social media. The functionality and operation of email and search engines and how to use them effectively are covered, and a final lesson includes a multiple choice test on the contents of the unit and basic computer use. This might form part of a baseline assessment for new pupils if taught early in year 7.

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.

The 10th Anniversary Upgrade includes:

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

I think your work is great. I have just moved from Australia to the UK to teach computing and I selected your product from many options available. I have many of the units already.
