A document that charts all the key skills within Computing across all age groups within KS1 and 2. Taken from the National Curriculum Document; all areas have been broken down and some expanded upon to build a progressive system of skills and abilities that children should exemplify within specific year groups in order to achieve the National Expectation within the subject. Useful for supporting planning across all year groups and for assessing the level of children at any point in the year. Covers Digital Literacy, Computer Science, Programming and E-Safety. What is also good about this document, is that its based on general equipment and resources that are free to use or stocked by almost all primary schools.

Document linking Key Stage 2 computing curriculum requirements with units of work.

GCSE lesson based around making the malware/cyber security topic related to programming. Looked online but couldn't find anything useful so created a 'virus' program to teach the students without giving them information on how to do anything illegal. Code works in Visual Basic, and is a good way to get the students hooked. Also worth mentioning that the 'virus' they create doesn't actually do anything malicious, it just appears that way, and gives them a chance to practice their programming techniques. Then they have instructions on the worksheet that they follow through until they have a working program. Powerpoint is also included.

Included is a booklet containing a series of tasks (16 in total) with hints for some of the trickier tasks. There are also code snippets which can be used alongside the tasks or as an extra aid for students who are struggling. Also included is a checklist which can be displayed during the project, so that students can update their progress through the tasks. I have used this with a year 10 class who found it enjoyable as well as getting good programming practice. The program makes use of variables, selection, definite and indefinite iteration, arrays, boolean variables and a linear search.

A 60 minute lesson delivered for Year 8 in an observed lesson. All tasks are on the lesson plan/powerpoint notes, there are more than enough so I have not delivered this lesson using every task. Worth running through the memory game slide to see how the animation works before using it.
