A series of chalkboard style videos that cover numerous aspects of the WJEC AS syllabus in line with the first few chapters in the Doyle textbook. I have since created superior resources for this course available on www.teach-ict.com

Series of videos to show students how to make a game in scratch. Learn how to make parrots move randomly, create a crosshair target to follow your mouse, show and hide objects, keep scores and play against a timer. No idea what happened with cut outs in video 4 and 5 but I no longer have the originals to amend, however you can also use this tutorial on the teach-ict site by following the alternative link at the bottom

A series of video tutorials to show students how to build a website from scratch using Dreamweaver. PLEASE NOTE 8 MORE VIDEOS IN THIS SERIES IN 'Web design using Dreamweaver part 1' WHICH YOU SHOULD WATCH BEFORE THESE

Lots of Flash tutorials to show how to make a fabulous animated banner that links to a website. Motion tweening, shape tweening, movie clips and actionscript all included. Suitable for the OCR unit 20, if perhaps a little more advanced than strictly necessary.

Very cool tutorial that shows how to construct a set of rollover buttons that are all sliced up and act as various triggers to link to websites, change the rollover colour and change another image. Perfect for students chasing a distinction grade on unit 21 of the OCR Nationals.

A series of videos that show students how to create a DTP version of the Mail on Sunday. Your best students should be able to create something that would be hard to tell from the real thing!! The 2 graphics are an example front cover and the masthead of the paper. Sorry about the lack of controls on the films, but can't re-render.

Set of 4 videos to cover creating and reusing movie clips, tweening, easing, opacity and the use of actions on buttons. Ideal for unit 20 of the Nationals but let's be honest most of your year 7s could handle this. Not a criticism of Nationals as I like the course, but it's just fun, a decent standard and kids will want to do it of any age.....

Of all my scratch tutorials this is my favourite. Lots of skills and commands used in scratch and the kids end up with a game that they will genuinely play. Loads of extension possibilities are easily identifiable too.

A bunch of films, screencasts and weblinks that you could use to help support the delivery of the French trip model assignment. Some of it is geared to my school, for example we use open source email rather than outlook, but the principles of all the resources can be used by anyone. Please find the second part of this resource in the resource bank to finish off the database videos

I don't claim to be a programmer, but these videos do let kids get a handle on some simple programming techniques to bring databases to life a little. Will turn into a series of tutorials once I get the kids at my school to explain to me how the hell it all works. Ideal for those students doing the WJEC course to chase down the few marks available, vid2 is the key one for that as it shows how to VB a login routine!!

A series of mind maps suitable for the A level course by WJEC and based around the Doyle text. These could of course be used by students doing other specs where there is some overlap. Lots more to follow

Here's a film showing a real virus being distributed via email. Nice lesson for all key stages but perhaps particularly appropriate for students doing the OCR National course (Unit 1 AO2)

Suitable spreadsheet techniques and build for the WJEC AS course, but could equally be used by anyone wanting to learn how to create a spreadsheet with a few macros,Multiple IF, VLOOKUP, 3D referencing etc...

A series of video tutorials to show students how to build a website from scratch using Dreamweaver. Very suitable for OCR National students who want to access distinction grades. Certainly useful for AS level students too and there is no reason why the more able KS3 student could not use this material too. Also covers some basic work with Fireworks and Flash too. PLEASE NOTE 2 MORE VIDEOS IN THIS SERIES IN PART 2

I can't draw, dropped art in year 9 when I was at school, but drawing cartoon animals with serif drawplus is a doodle. This video will show you how you can turn your KS3 kids into fine computer based artists

I had a bad throat so decided to ask my students to do a trawl of youtube to find various videos that mirrored the contents of the specification. We have dropped them into file format so you can easily embed them in your VLEs. Hope they are of use

The following videos explain how you can integrate monkeyjam, audacity and a graphics program of your choice (I use fireworks) to create something a little more advanced than the standard 'lego youtube' efforts that we have all seen.

A few videos to get you going with drawplus, nothing fancy but enough techniques to keep most KS3 kids busy for a few hours.

Yes it's a fab set of videos to show kids how to make the very first video game Pong. Once they are happy with it I would personally set them the task to make the game 'breakout'.

A series of video tutorials that go throught the various techniques that need to be covered to gain a distinction grade on the OCR Nationals unit 2 web design course. The videos can be used with KS3 students as well. If you want to test the kids on these tutorials then there is a link at the end to another set of resources in here that is what I use as an end of year 7 exam, it really is very good and the kids really enjoy doing it.
