Summary

This unit will enable pupils to create a complete app with full takeaway functionality on an iPhone, Android, Windows or Blackberry smartphone as well as a desktop web browser in class. Pupils will plan and implement their own projects using skills from a teacher demonstration app which creates a guide to the Periodic table including image galleries, video, interactive maps, and web links. Pupils will also be able to program extensions to their own apps using the built-in language Blockly. The unit will be assessed using an assessment portfolio and the completed apps can also be made available for parents and teachers to view online.

What's included in the 10th Anniversary toolkit?

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 that fully meets the national curriculum requirements
  2. Improved foundational content for related topics in the latest GCSE and vocational qualifications
  3. Detailed lesson plans for new and non-specialist teachers
  4. Full HD 16:9 widescreen presentations with enriched illustrations
  5. Learning objectives and outcomes, with assessments for each unit
  6. Updated news articles, links and references to newer technological developments
  7. Homework sheets with answers for every lesson
  8. Worksheets with answers for every lesson
  9. Starter activities and plenaries for every lesson
  10. Activity preparation slides in all presentations

What people say...

“
”

Our year 8 girls really enjoyed the Python Unit and even complained when we moved on to another topic.

I have used two sets of resources so far but the best has been the cyber crime one.  The students have loved it - they all have a tale to tell about email scams and hacking!!
