Complete solution videos, 2 completed databases for you to play with. Videos are easy to follow and you will have your students understanding how to solve all of this within a couple of lessons.

So here is a wonderful lesson that kids genuinely really enjoy doing. I hate it when people say kids love doing something when they don’t really but this is different, this lesson genuinely gets them all really motivated because it’s easy to do and the outcomes can be very funny indeed. You simply take 2 video files of speeches made by Donald Trump, work out what you want him to say by extracting the words from the speeches, then stitch them altogether. I use Wevideo to do this because then kids don’t have an excuse that they don’t have the software at home as it’s just in the browser. You can also save any work from class directly on the Wevideo website and they can carry on at home. The editing will keep kids busy for a couple of lessons and you can differentiate by getting your more able students to source other Donald Trump speeches and text from this site https://millercenter.org/the-presidency/presidential-speeches and as the video points out it’s easy enough to add subtitles and credits too.

I think this has to be my favourite fun exercise to do with graphics and it will keep your students busy for a couple of hours at least, whilst you also get a whole world of fabulous artwork to put up on your classroom walls too. Oh and as it’s all done using www.photopea.com then no-one has the excuse for not doing the work as they have access to the site 24/7. Oh and even you old teaching hands may learn something new, after all did you know www.remove.bg was a thing? It is and it saves hours of magic wanding / tolerance / lassooing / erasing etc…

Here you go, 5 easy to follow video solutions for the Rockhill task set for the January 2020 exam paper. Every task is solved and you will get your head around every table, query, report and form required. I have even included the 2 accdb files of the solutions for you to play with.

A set of 31 videos that cover the entire theoretical content of the R001 Cambridge Nationals in ICT course. They can be used as snippets in lessons, flipped classrooms or just dropped on a VLE for revision purposes. You can check out a couple of sample videos below https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/cambridge-nationals-r001-screencasts-a-sample-11478359 Please don’t put these videos into the public domain, on a VLE or shared area at school is fine though.

These videos bring you a whole bunch of tutorials to get your kids going making their own games in the new version of Scratch 2.0. This are not the sort of standard tutorials that you find on the web. During the videos kids will be set tasks to do in scratch and hopefully they will be able to complete them on their own. However don't worry the next video in each project will show them how to complete the task!! Each of the 9 zip files attached here contain numerous video tutorials within them. These videos are really targeted at KS2 and KS3 students although the content will go on to stretch and challenge even the most able of them with variables, cloning, broadcasting and many other features of Scratch. You can just sit back and relax without having to plan anything. Oh and there is enough material to keep your students busy for around many hours, even if they don't manage to have a go at the extension tasks that are identified for all 5 games!! If you want to try the videos before buying this resource then there are already app versions of it. It free on Android and just 79p on Apple. The App versions have hit the top ten in educational downloads in over 50 countries and have made number 1 in 14 already with those numbers going up monthly. I am 100% confident you won't be disappointed. Apple - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/scratch-kids/id955314895?mt=8 Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=training.computing.scratchkids Please understand that purchasing these videos give you the right to use them on an internal VLE or shared drive in school, they can not be placed in the public domain so they can be accessed outside of school (unless on a secure VLE).

Just Basic is probably the easiest "in" to programming that I have come across. The videos below are about 3 hours worth of screencasts to get you going with the software and will keep your students busy for many lessons. There are lots and lots of different little exercises and challenges to do, it's not just one great big build. Before you wade into the actual screencasts you will need to ensure you download the zip file that has 4 .bas files in it, these will be needed for the little challenges that I set throughout the videos.

So I made a few videos to get my year 7s going with Python turtle using the Mu Editor as it is the most “kid-friendly” IDE out there and most importantly it’s a free download. Anyway it’s all done rather well and has kept the kids busy for about 10 * 50 minute lessons. Basically write you name, draw a house, add some birds, use some hex, draw some flags. I like to think it covers pretty much most tools and will take the kids on to defining their own functions and calling them when required, Works well, especially in the flags exercise if you want lots of stars like a Brazilian flag or and American one. Also we show how to use the random library, so each picture can be different each time ie. birds of different sizes and positions in the image. Our final assessment was to give them a picture of a rocket made of filled in rectangle, triangles, squares and circles, get them to recreate it, and let them choose what background it would sit on, so the more able could do a night sky with stars and a crescent moon.
