A FULL lesson that introduces your students to four network topologies (bus, ring, star and mesh). The PowerPoint will equally double as a really useful resource for revision, if printed or made available electronically to your learners. Lesson plan and student handout included which asks them to draw topology diagrams and give advantages/disadvantages of each topology. Enjoy!

This resource depends on you teaching Business Ownership first (sole traders, partnerships and companies). Students should be given a printed version of the puzzle (the one with two pages). I get them to work in pairs as they can both be cutting at the same time to reduce ‘cutting time’. They both cut out one of the pages then get to work creating a triangle solution by connecting matching statements. There is only ONE way the puzzle will become a triangle correctly, so it’s trial and error but a GREAT task to consolidate learning of Business Ownership topic. I then get learners to stick their puzzles down on A3 paper (two sheets, because it just sticks over one A3 page). Alternatively, you could cut the puzzle and laminate for year on year use. I’ve included the solution. To ensure ALL students can access it, I print the solution on A3 paper and stick it in the corridor. Each pair gets a few chances to go out and take a peek, if needed. Finally, I’ve included a plenary to review the tarsia puzzle and a homework true or false activity on Business Ownership, this might work well as a homework task to see what students have learnt from the puzzle. Enjoy!

If you liked the first Plenary Wheel, things just got even better!! Version 2 is here, all new, USE ALONGSIDE VERSION ONE, NOT INSTEAD OF!! All your plenaries will be planned for months to come, if not longer!! See a video preview below BEFORE choosing to buy this TOP quality resource. Interactive, fun and engaging. A perfect end to the lesson! The plenary wheel is a PowerPoint file with a rotating wheel. Ask one of your students to shout STOP to select how the lesson ends. NO PLANNING involved. Just open the file and let your students decide. This wheel is the sequel to my original plenary wheel - it contains 8 NEW PLENARY activities that focus on the question “What have I learnt today”. It’s not a rebrand - so if you want both look for my bundle and then you’ll have SIXTEEN plenary activities - that’s your academic year sorted! The plenaries are: 60 seconds - tell a partner what you’ve learnt in a minute - timers includes. Picture review - draw how you feel/what you’ve learnt - template/handout included (print a bank of these ready!). Emoji review - select an emoji to summarise your learning today - template included if required (black and white or colour). Text message - write a reply to the text on the slide. 4-3-1, my take on the 5-5-1 review - write four sentences then whittle it down to just 1 word to summarise today’s lesson. Handout included, again print a stack ready! Red, Amber, Green - three sentence review of your learning today. Tell me three - answer the three summary questions about today’s learning. Status update - write a social media status to summarise your learning today. Macros must be enabled for the wheel to function, though the plenary activities can still be viewed without the wheel spinning (less exciting!). Enjoy!

Everything you need to teach Sole traders and teach it well - perfect for an observation. Differentiated learning outcomes included on the presentation. The presentation would also be useful printed as some stage for revision for your learners. The two activities include sorting advantages and disadvantages of sole trader ownership and an extended writing question. The lesson includes marking sheets that have space to match the work completed in this lesson to success criteria and space to give WWW and EBi (gap task). This really is value for money. To get even more value, use the plenary from the last slide in some of your other lessons - it's not lesson specific and is quite a nice end to any lesson. Enjoy!

This 9-page booklet is mapped against OCR GCSE Business Studies J204. This resource includes a printable PDF version AND a PowerPoint version that learners can complete and submit online, via Google Classroom etc. Answers included in separate PDF document! Activities on: Entrepreneurs Business Plans Sole traders / Partnerships Limited Companies Business Ownership (liability) Aims and Objectives Stakeholders Business Growth GREAT FOR HOMEWORK! If you set one page each week, that’s more than enough for a half term. The pages also act as a good discussion point for a starter in the following lesson too (win, win!). To REDUCE MARKING - there’s the smallest space for teachers to put 4 ticks to assess each homework. Low stakes, low work-load marking.

This lesson introduces students to the different connections available for digital devices (wired and wireless connections). Students should mind map their own ideas first, before answers are revealed (click on the slide to reveal answers!). Students must then research OR use the support sheet to group advantages and disadvantages of each connection type. On the back page of the booklet is a review of the lesson where students must decide on the BEST method of connection; there are more answers, but the IDEAL answer is shown on the PowerPoint itself and students should be told this! Enjoy!

Suitable for any Business Specification where students need to know what Fixed and Variable Costs are. Also discussed (and has an activity) for working out total costs and profit etc. DO NOT BUY if you already have my TASK 5 for Cambridge Nationals. This resource includes ALL theory notes, loads of activities. All top quality. Enjoy.

Free quiz I made for a tutor time activity. Enjoy!

Saves making your own! 7 basic rules for students to follow when in the ICT suite/computer room. Enjoy!

Print in colour and laminate. Designed on A3, so they won't pixelate if printed in big! Ideal for any primary classroom to visually show the three symbols. Enjoy.

---This resource is similar to the domino resource, so don't buy if you've already invested in that resource!--- Cut out, match up and stick down exercise OR cut out and laminate for a reusable resource. Perfect for KS2 or year 7 french, introducing names of animals/pets or for lower ability year 8 groups. Printing in colour will also help highlight the usage of le/la un/une for masculine/feminine words. Ideal starter to introduce the words, main activity to reinforce translations or plenary to review a lesson. The presentation can also be printed and laminated for display purposes. Printing on A5 could make it form part of a keyword wall or printing 4 to a page would make ideal flashcards! Enjoy. Feedback always gratefully received too.

---This resource is similar to the match up resource, so don't buy if you've already invested in that resource!--- Students need to cut out each of the 10 cards (each card has two halves like a domino). They must then match the French to the English to translate the names of animals/pets. This should lead to them having a long matching string of cards from start to finish, like a row of corresponding dominoes. This resource could be cut out and laminated to form a reusable game. Perfect for KS2 or year 7 french, introducing names of pets in French or for lower ability year 8 groups. Printing in colour will also help highlight the usage of le/la un/une for masculine/feminine words. Ideal starter to introduce the words, main activity to reinforce translations or plenary to review a lesson. Enjoy. Feedback always gratefully received too.

TWO RESOURCES for the price of ONE with PowerPoint visual for whiteboard to reveal answers/lead discussion and DISPLAY/FLASH CARD resource potential! 1) Colour translation dominoes game = Students need to cut out each of the 10 cards (each card has two halves like a domino). They must then match the French to the English to translate different colours. This should lead to them having a long matching string of cards from start to finish, like a row of corresponding dominoes. This resource could be cut out and laminated to form a reusable game. 2) Colour translation cut ,match and stick activity = Students need to cut out each of the cards and match the French colour names to the English. Again, this resource could be cut out and laminated to form a reusable game. Perfect for KS2 or year 7 french, introducing names of colours in French or for lower ability year 8 groups. Ideal starter to introduce the words, main activity to reinforce translations or plenary to review a lesson. The presentation can also be printed and laminated for display purposes. Printing on A5 could make it form part of a keyword wall or printing 4 to a page would make ideal flashcards! Enjoy.

It's a great idea, at the end of a topic or unit, to get students to create their own quizzes. They can then complete one another's to test their understanding or to revise a topic. I've created a PowerPoint template for students to be given to produce a quiz. The PowerPoint is fully linked because the main purpose of this type of activity is the questions and the answers, not the linking together! This also means this activity lends itself to ANY SUBJECT and a range of year groups. There are ten question spaces, students can easily use 'duplicate slide' to add more questions though. As an extension, whilst other students complete their work, students can improve the look of their quiz or add further elements. This activity comes with a peer assessment sheet - the idea being that students should be given the opportunity to complete one another's quizzes (further recapping and revising a topic) and 'rate' them on various criteria. This sheet is in word format, should teachers wish to add to or amend the criteria. As the sheet is editable, it could be used for other peer assessment evidence - as you're paying for this resource it's worth adapting to get the best value for money!! Overall, a fun activity leading to quite an interactive peer assessment activity. Teachers don't need to be skilled in the IT behind the linking/functions of the quiz - just make it available on a shared drive for students to take a copy of before completing it! Enjoy.

An eight page student booklet and accompanying outline of six lessons of work that gets students to create a PowerPoint presentation about either the Loch Ness Monster or Big Foot to include text, links, images and sounds. This is a fun, short unit of work suitable for Key Stage 3 ICT or Computing lessons. I must stress that, unlike some of my other resources, this is not a pick up and go, fully planned unit of work. It is an engaging student booklet that is GREAT for collating evidence of student work and it is a collection of six lesson OUTLINES. Teachers will need to add to this in order to fully teach reliability and skills in producing a multimedia presentation. I'd see this as a perfect first unit for either year 7 or 8 to get them started for a year of engaging ICT or Computing lessons. Enjoy! Any feedback is, as always, greatly received.

NEW! See the video preview of the PowerPoint BEFORE choosing to buy. ALL resources are included and TOP quality. This is an investment and great for new teachers or those that want to increase student engagement. This is my first Plenary Wheel resource - 8 generic plenaries to end ANY lesson. If you like this, why not try the sequel with 8 additional plenary activities, so you’ll have 16 to get you through the academic year! Slide 1 includes a spinning wheel that can be stopped by clicking STOP to choose the plenary for the lesson. Includes a selection of eight plenary ideas (and supporting resources) with an engaging interface to grab students’ attention at the end of a lesson. Interactive, students LOVE shouting STOP to select the plenary activity! Suitable for all subject areas… you may never have to plan a plenary activity ever again, although don’t tell your senior leaders I said that!

'Understanding Computers'; scheme of work and accompanying student booklet for Key Stage 3 Computer Science. Fully planned and resourced, print and go. The unit of work has been referenced against the new KS3 programme of study for Computing. The unit includes short topics on hardware, software, devices, input, output, storage, binary numbers, convergence and future technologies and is a good basis for an introduction to computers. This unit would ideally suit year 7 or 8 students and has elements of differentiation throughout to allow teachers to deliver the same unit of work to multiple ability groups (save on the planning!). The scheme of work should also give you some fresh ideas for more creative teaching strategies in Computing. *Copyright Notice* I have produced this under the name Barnett Education (that's me!).
