A fabulous set of tutorials to get you going using Python. These are not ordinary 'watch and repeat' tutorials that you traditionally find on the internet. Each video will set a task for the learner to complete and if the learner needs a little support to complete the task then there is always a solution video on hand too. No prior knowledge of python required. There are 6 distinct python tasks to make. A simple calculator program, a hi lo game, a magic 8 ball, a random name picker, the fizz buzz game and a Pythagoras calculator. These would keep new programmers busy in class for a fair few hours and this app is an ideal tool to help cover the requirements of the new computing curriculum. Users will need to download Python and we will be using the IDLE IDE to get going. If you want to check out the content of these videos for free before downloading then they are available as a free app on iOS and Android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=training.computing.learnpython https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/python-for-beginners/id1082132961?mt=8 If you do purchase the videos then you are granted a licence to place them on a shared area within your school or on a VLE that requires a user ID and password to access (no guest access). Basically as long as the general public can't get to them then that fine...

These videos bring you a whole bunch of tutorials to get your kids going making their own games in the new version of Scratch 2.0. This are not the sort of standard tutorials that you find on the web. During the videos kids will be set tasks to do in scratch and hopefully they will be able to complete them on their own. However don't worry the next video in each project will show them how to complete the task!! Each of the 9 zip files attached here contain numerous video tutorials within them. These videos are really targeted at KS2 and KS3 students although the content will go on to stretch and challenge even the most able of them with variables, cloning, broadcasting and many other features of Scratch. You can just sit back and relax without having to plan anything. Oh and there is enough material to keep your students busy for around many hours, even if they don't manage to have a go at the extension tasks that are identified for all 5 games!! If you want to try the videos before buying this resource then there are already app versions of it. It free on Android and just 79p on Apple. The App versions have hit the top ten in educational downloads in over 50 countries and have made number 1 in 14 already with those numbers going up monthly. I am 100% confident you won't be disappointed. Apple - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/scratch-kids/id955314895?mt=8 Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=training.computing.scratchkids Please understand that purchasing these videos give you the right to use them on an internal VLE or shared drive in school, they can not be placed in the public domain so they can be accessed outside of school (unless on a secure VLE).

OK this is a series of 28 videos that show kids how to build breakout, however they don't simply watch and repeat. There are many short little videos that break down the build into little tasks, your students simply watch a task video and try to solve that little chunk themselves. Don't worry if they get stuck then there is also a solution video. This method of teaching actually gets the kids to think rather than simply copying the standard type of tutorial videos that you find on YouTube. If you want to check out all of the videos before purchasing then you can do so with the free android app below, or for a few pennies the Apple version too. I guarantee that your students will be extended beyond what most currently do with scratch and it really is not that tough. Downloading this resource gives you licence to drop it on your VLE or shared resource drive for kids to access from in school or at home, it does not allow you to place it on a website in the public domain.

Hours of free videos that cover the entire course.

Wow a stack of free videos that you can use to drop onto your VLE, for a cover lesson or for some flipped learning. What's not to like? Hours of material covering the entire spec.

A set of 31 videos that cover the entire theoretical content of the R001 Cambridge Nationals in ICT course. They can be used as snippets in lessons, flipped classrooms or just dropped on a VLE for revision purposes. You can check out a couple of sample videos below https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/cambridge-nationals-r001-screencasts-a-sample-11478359 Please don’t put these videos into the public domain, on a VLE or shared area at school is fine though.

"Scratch Kids" brings you a whole bunch of video tutorials to get you going making your own games in the new version of Scratch 2.0. This are not the sort of standard tutorials that you find on the web. During the videos you will be set tasks to do in scratch and hopefully you will be able to complete them on your own. However don't worry the next video in each project will show you how to complete the task!! These videos are really targeted at primary students although the content will go on to stretch and challenge even the most able of them with variables, cloning, broadcasting and many other features of Scratch. This is a big app of just under 300Mb, because there is so much material in it. You will need to be hooked into your WiFi connection!! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kid.scratch

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/appinventor2-free/id958514716?mt=8 Want to give your students loads of activities to do with MIT's appinventor 2? Then here's the solution for you. Now first of all whilst these are screencasts, they are not the standard sort of activity that you would find on the likes of YouTube. What happens is that there is a screencast that gives the students a task to work out and if they are unable to solve the problem then there is a solution video to accompany the task set. This way your students have to think about how to solve the problem, rather than simply following a 'how to' style tutorial. So what's in the set of tutorials? Well there are 5 app builds, the first 2 are simple little ones to get your students familiar with the interface and show them how to make a 'soundboard' and a variation of the magic 8 ball. The other 3 app builds have far more detail.

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/scratch-kids-lite/id957195511?mt=8 'Scratch Kids Lite' brings you 3 sets of video tutorials to get you going making your very first activity and game in the new version of Scratch 2. However, these are not the sort of standard tutorials that you find on the web. During the videos you will be set tasks to do in scratch and hopefully you will be able to complete them on your own. However don't worry the next video in each project will show you how to complete the task!! These videos are really targeted at KS2 students although the content of the full app will go on to stretch and challenge even the most able of them with variables, cloning, broadcasting and many other features of Scratch. There's even a quiz in the app so you can test your scratch knowledge too!!

A whole bundle of videos to get kids moving with scratch from scratch (pun intended). Over 80 shot and snappy screencasts that challenge students to work out solutions to problems set but also safe in the knowledge that if the struggle there is a solution video to accompany the task. More than enough material to keep students busy for many hours. http://www.computing.training/index.php/14-sample-data-articles/122-scratch-kids-tutorials

I can't draw, dropped art in year 9 when I was at school, but drawing cartoon animals with serif drawplus is a doodle. This video will show you how you can turn your KS3 kids into fine computer based artists

OK FIRST OF ALL THESE ARE NOT MP3 FILES THEY ARE MP4 FILES, YOU MUST RENAME THEM ONCE DOWNLOADED TO MAKE THEM WORK. Lots of videos to get you going with serif webplus and certainly enough to deal with the likes of the Cambridge Nationals R005 unit. However, the software and the videos are easy enough for KS3 students to follow to make some rather fancy websites

Fabulous quizzes using triggers, switching off transitions, dropping some sounds in with audacity, master slides. All good fun for your KS3 and 4 classes. Will keep them busy for around 2-3 hours

Very useful for Cam Nats R002 as kids can count it as 'item of publicity' in task 2 of this unit. After all everyone loves a PowerPoint but this one shows you how to do it properly!!

This is a really cool task to get kids moving with graphics software. I use fireworks but I guess it's easy enough to adapt for say photoshop. Anyway take two animals, rip the head off one, add it to the other and use rubber stamps, opacity, magic wand, hue/saturation to make it look like a 'cloned&' or &';morphed' animal. you might be surprised by what kids can create!!

I use this as a mock exam for my year 8 students. It's a mail merged letter to apply for premiership football manager&'s jobs. Bit of a spoof one that requires kids to make a logo and create a graph too. I based it around where I work in Sittingbourne, but you could easily adjust the text in the letter and instructions to work for where you live.

If you have ever used my previous top down racer videos then I would suggest you move on to these ones as they are superior. Loads of skills to create a 2 player racing game like micro machines, lap counters, oil slicks, speed ups, and showing how to stop any cheats. Will keep kids busy for about 2-3 hours in general.

In this video you can show students how to make a set of business cards that mail merge in both images and text. Using spreadsheets and publisher they end up with a set of individual business cards for a group of individuals at their organisation. This is a logical progression step if you have used the Mafia Zoo (gangsta zoo on teach-ict) scenario.

Further to a request on the ICT forum about how to make a custom toolbar in Word 2010, the video below shows you how to do it. It is part of a series of videos available via teach-ict.com shop to cover the entire WJEC AS coursework project

First of all the javascript menu files is a zip and not a doc, you wil need to download it, rename and the extract. The videos have no controls as they are swf files. Does not sound like a good start does it!! Trust me you will have kids making very fancy drop down menus with this and it's a nailed on distinction for unit 21 of Nationals if you follow that course.
