An Introduction to Encryption for students. Everyone knows The Simpsons and the story of Who shot Mr Burns, well he has been shot again and we have 12 suspects. The shooter left us clues to their identity but they are all encrypted. The lesson plan is written as a script. You & Wiggum will take the students through 'Police Training” learning 4 different ciphers. Wiggum changes what he says when they have completed the task correctly. Good for encryption, computing, excel, group task,cipher, puzzle/problem solving or using a database type lessons. KS3 Computing. Clue 3 - Don’t put the ’ in don’t Clue 5 - Someone has pointed out that the 6th word comes out as ANC not AND. The mobile phone cipher is meant to be used, the 3 is D on a keypad.

Introduction/Recap lesson for Excel/Spreadsheets. This lesson starts Cell References, You ask a question and the students give you the cell ref of the right answer. E.g. Who make theiPhone? Answer=A1 (Look at slide 7). The lesson then covers simple formulas and then looks at functions. There are 2 tasks and 2 Model to class files. You show them what you want to do and they do that in the task files. There is also a plenary game built in. If they answer the question correct they get a chance to find a cold coin and win a house point.

This lesson is an introduction to what the Internet is and what E-Commerce is. This is all based on the Business Communication Systems course and what they need to know to pass the theory exam for that. There is a teachers PPT which takes the class through the theory and a PowerPoint that the students edit to answer questions. On each of the slides in the speaker notes section I have put instructions on what the students have to do on that question. What's covered: Internet, Search Engines, Boolean Operators, E-Commerce along with some case study/exam style questions.

This is an introduction lesson to Excel aimed at year 7's. It introduces Excel and its formulae/functions as "Spells" and that all spells begin with a wand =. This covers. =SUM, MIN, MAX, AVERAGE.

A worksheet based on the fictional company MyFace.com. The students are asked to create a logo for their business in Fireworks (or whatever application you use) and then use that within a letterhead. They are then asked to create a Spreadsheet and a database. I have used this for both ICT and Business Communication Systems as a skills test and recap. Especially before the practical exam. I also use this to try and get the students to manage their time to make sure they get everything complete in the time given.

I have created posters based on the 4 B's and added a 5th B for the ICT class room. Brain, Book, Browser, Buddy, Bloke You can edit the last B to be something suited more to a Female teacher. Helps with creating independent learners. Fully editable - Do as you wish with it.

Very simple PowerPoint quiz that goes through how an Audience can be split up. I have used this as both a Plenary at the end of a presentation lesson and as a Starter to recap what they should have learnt the lesson before. Aimed mostly at Years 7 and 8 but I have used it for some KS4 students who are doing the BTEC and have to talk about audience and purpose and don't seem to understand it.
