Previously downloaded over 13,000 times, these four worksheets are an excellent introduction to Audacity. Audacity is a free program used to edit sounds for use as: ring tones, sound effects, backing tracks or spoken text.
Each worksheet is very visual, providing a clear set of instruction on how to import, cut, mix and add effects to sound files. Some copyright free sounds are supplied for use with the unit of work.

"Brilliant set of materials, great design, so useful. Excellent, thank you."
"How good does it feel when you find the PERFECT resource for what you want to do?! I'm doing Entry Pathway ICT with SEN pupils, we're going to make podcasts, but first I need to teach them how to use Audacity. This is wonderful, thanks"

A 3-lesson unit encompassing the distinctions between Application, Utility and System software, with reference to development of real world indie games. PowerPoints, worksheets and lesson plans provided.
In the final lesson, students will be expected to use an industry style timescale to create a Knowledge Demo PowerPoint.
Outcomes:
To be able to classify by application, system and utility software.
To discern the terms App and Application and the differences between the two.
To understand the need for, uses of and interrelationship between system software and utilities.
To understand the OS’ role in managing processors, memory, IO devices, applications and security.
A year 10 resource I created as part 1 of 3 lessons on Applications, Systems and Utilities. This lesson covers the outcomes and LOs below using identification, description and industry connected content.
Outcomes:
• To be able to classify by application and system software.
Most students:
• To discern applications from apps and to explain the difference.
Some students:
• To understand the interrelationship, particularly between system software and utilities.
Learning Objectives:
• Pupils to gain understanding of the software used in game development through listing and teacher-led discussion.
• Pupils to distinguish between apps and applications through identification exercises, which also draw on literacy skills.
• Pupils to develop ability to identify examples of the three categories of software.
PowerPoint, resources and lesson plan template included.
This worksheet will work perfectly with the the second in a series of lessons exploring SCALES. (powerpoint unit is for sale separately and you can buy all the worksheets as a bundle).
This worksheet is for composing melodies around the C major scale. Students have space to write in rough, write notation and if time can be transferred on to music software.
These resources links with the Year 2 topic 1 (Scales) of the Middle School Music Curriculum that is for sale.
Also, this lesson will work perfectly for High School students or any ensembles learning pieces based around scales.
This resource introduces learners to microsoft excel and what it is used for.
It starts off with basics and shows cells, columns and rows and how these are identified and accessed.
It engages learners with this through the use of games e.g.
-cell art where they have to fill the cell with the correct colour and make the picture.
-cell mine field which they play with a partner (like battleships)
cell bingo (there is a linked spinning wheel with all cells ref)
Finally it leads children up to a mini project where they plan and budget a dinner for their family. They can use the internet or magazines to get prices or simply make them up. They must record their costs, quantities etc on their spreadsheet. For more challenge, I introduced more confident learners with simple formulas to calculate their totals.
Students will use self marking worksheets to learn to create their own formulae and understand why they should use formulae. Included are tasks that cater for the lower ability, middle ability and higher ability students. Learning pitstops and challenges are provided to check students understanding and learning of the spreadsheet skills needed for the exam. The functions and formula that students will learn include, SUM, AVERAGE, MAX, IF, COUNTIF, =TODAY(), =NOW(), sorting data, absolute cell referencing, * multiplication, + addition and, autosum. Students will have the chance to practise all the skills using the practice skills 1 and 2.xls included in the resources. These are self marking (they have been adapted to suit the needs of my students) so students can work independently. This allows me to provide small group intervention sessions if necessary for the skills that the students struggle with.
