This is the entire theoretical side computer science course, broken down into short concise revision notes. Allowing students to summaries, consolidate, and solidify knowledge. Acting as an intermediate between conventional revision cards and revision guides, it acts as a comparable revision aid blending both the advantages of a revision guide (longer, more in-depth knowledge) and revision notes (easy, learnable, portable last stop) Attached, is both the pdf and the ppt of each section. From 1-6, based on the categories given in the specification materials: Topic 1: Problem solving Topic 2: Programming Topic 3: Data Topic 4: Computers Topic 5: Communication and the internet Topic 6: The bigger picture As Topic 1 & 2 (CS1&2) is heavily practical based, much of the content/specification points have been left as this resource mainly focuses on the theory and less so practical content.

This year the GCSE students will have 50% of the course examined online. I have created 8 questions which scaffold the learning up to the point of the sample online tests. The cover: If, iteration, len, global, local variables, constants, data types and coercion, lists, turtle, libraries and more. There is a PowerPoint of exercises to give to the learner, and another with teacher solutions after each question. My students found it fun and engaging, and I am confident they won’t flip out now when they see the #comment format of the summer examinations. Tes will not allow me to add py files here, so the slides are screen shots, they can either type in the codes, or you can email me to get the code files and solutions annemariebradshaw@hotmail.com. This unit of work took around 3 hours, will explanations for lower ability coders. The exercises can also be used for improving code, with a little tweak in the questions given. I hope your students enjoy it as much as mine did.

DESCRIPTION Drawing on my experience as a student who achieved an A* in GCSE Computer Science, and who continues to study computing at a college level, with an extensive analysis of notes, mark schemes and examiner reports, I’ve created a revision booklet that cover every expectation for the Computer Science subject on the Edexcel (and some OCR) specification. These notes are presented in an easy-to-use revision note, then question format. Colour coding, diagrams and a simple layout makes learning easy. Having refined these over my final years in high school, I’ve seen first-hand the results they can achieve. I’m confident that they will be an invaluable tool to you.

This workbook contains Topic 1 - Algorithms from the GCSE Edexcel Computer Science specification. This is really good for homework, or as an in class revision pack. It is scaffolded and progressively gets more difficult as the students get through. There are all sorts of questions, including 1-2 mark questions or full exam style questions.

This is a document of command words used for the IGCSE ICT exam with descriptions, examples and connectives to help write answers. It is mapped against the 9-1 grading, so students can see what level questions they are working on. Great to stick this document at the front of exercise books, so students can refer to it throughout the year, to help develop exam writing skills.

GCSE revision notes for the ICT exam- all three topics included.

This is one of a series of lessons teaching about the issues of computing. This one focusses on what we use technology for, and the effect of those who either cannot, or will not use technology. The impact of technological exclusion is discussed. There is an opportunity to do a little research into the downside of technological inclusion, with gaming addiction (to balance the argument). There is also the opportunity to complete a six mark question with AO1, AO2, AO3 guidance. There is also a model six mark answer showing how the marks for each section are awarded, and the opportunity to peer mark. Student PPT does not contain the answers, whereas the teacher one does. I tend to put student copy on Google Classroom, and have teacher copy on the board for them to check answers after the task is finished. Then at the end of the lesson I remove the student copy, and put the teacher copy up, for isolators, or for revision purposes.
