This paper examines ways in which the idea of cognitive conflict is used to facilitate learning, looking at the design and use of learning environments for this purpose. Drawing on previous work in science education and educational computing, three approaches to the design of learning environments utilizing cognitive conflict are introduced. These approaches are described as confrontational, guiding and explanatory, based on the level of the designer's concern with learners&' pre-existing understanding.

This set of resources includes 2x PPTs which can be delivered over 3 lessons (over 65 slides of engaging and interactive learning throughout the bundle). We start by discussing the different types of social changes that exist before looking at some informative graphs and charts to contextualise understanding. A short exam style question before going on technological changes, again discussion of real life examples for context and a short question. Some true or false questions as a mini plenary and debate. In the second powerpoint, we focus on corporate social responsibility, lots of real life examples. case studies, videos to help students understand the extent to which businesses are socially responsible (or not) i.e Apple and Primark’s suppliers and tax avoidance by many firms. We also have a case study on shareholders vs stakeholders, students prepare arguments to present back to the class on whether the firm should aim to satisfy shareholders or stakeholders, this can be answered as a 24 mark exam style question with a peer assessment grid to follow. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

12 colourful Technology Posters and expectations for secondary students! So, you either are or are looking to go digital in your classroom but are anxious about your students potentially misusing or being irresponsible with the technology? That is a valid concern! There are a world of distractions online, plus technology is expensive and it is paramount our students treat resources available to them with respect. These posters contain 12 top technology rules to help create a responsible and safe environment. You can display them in your classroom / computer lab / device station as well as use them to prompt class discussions about these rules and why they are so important, after all rules are more likely to be followed if students understand why they are there in the first place! They have a colourful watercolour theme and have been designed in a way that makes them suitable for all age groups and environments. I hope you enjoy using these in your classroom!

A KS3 resource for Design and Technology. This is a workbook that supports the making of a habitat environment, whether that be a bird box, bug hotel or any other suitable habitat. The resource is essentially a workbook that includes assessment materials, Tier 2 and 3 vocabulary, a learning journey. A ‘Big Question’ has also been identified to justify why this should be an appropriate project to cover as part of the DT KS3 curriculum. The resource is designed to take students through the process of design thereby equipping students with appropriate skills that will be required for studying the subject at KS4 and beyond. Perhaps, more importantly, the project raises awareness of habitat loss and what designers can achieve to provide alternative habitats.

A KS3 project (year 8 or 9). A project written for an environment without powerpoints and interactive boards. It hangs on the initial two lessons researching into pop up mechanisms and then pop out mechanisms. Students practically manufacture a range of them, but also record and analyse the mechanisms in a work booklet. The remaining weeks focus on concept designs, then developments and a final working card. Included are all the resources (templates & handouts) along with lots of exemplars from previous students.
