Summary - New: 3rd Edition
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.
This unit requires the use of AppShed which is available by separate subscription at AppShed.com.
A discount code offering 15% off any EDU account is available with a unit purchase.
What's included in the toolkit?
The currently available 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 KS3 units are]..."very useful especially as most of my colleagues are new to computing. Its great having a starting point and guidance on assessment. Theory at KS3 is a new concept for most but it is actually going down well and adding purpose to the lessons."
Mr J Pritchett. Head of Computing, Brookfield Community School
