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

PG Online material for KS3 has been instrumental in helping me transit from ICT to Computing with a department of just two. Cutting down work load in planning SOW and resources. All material have been adapted to suit our school with ease and the pupils are really enjoying the programming elements.
