Pupils will learn about the difference between a solid state drive and a magnetic hard disk drive. The differences between the two will be shown and explained on the board, pupils will then complete a task where they will research, label and explain each part of a magnetic hard drive and its advantages and disadvantages and the final task is to investigate the solid state drive inc. advantages, disadvantages, NAND and NOR chips and EEPROM.

A complete lesson with two tasks This lesson describes the history of the internet (ARPANET), the different between the internet and WWW. Students will practice an exam question based on the knowledge gained during the lesson. When the first part is complete pupils will learn about the client-server model and then research the application of servers using leading questions on the board.

Using the order of rank pupils will be given logic circuits where they will calculate the outcome of each problem

A lesson where pupils learn the difference between bit rate and bit streaming. Pupils will complete a task discussing in detail bit rate and bit streaming and the purpose of on demand services.

A detailed and in-depth (assuming no previous knowledge from students) lesson on number conversions: denary to binary binary to denary denary to hexadecimal Starter: Students will investigate hexadecimal numbers Methodology: Assuming no previous knowledge from students they learn in-depth about number as symbols representing amounts etc Tasks: Pupils will complete worksheet with opportunities for self assessment on denary and binary conversions and hexadecimal conversions. Homework: A worksheet with two videos for help and pupils will continue to convert larger numbers.

I have made three guides for thunkable app making software that students can follow independently during your lessons. he guides show how to create the following apps: chat app translator slideshow camera recognition adding animations swipeable screens

The SOWs are fully editable and support the NC strands. Subjects include: Python App making Google Applied digital skills Microbit Object oriented programming Robot Control Computer Hardware and Software and more

A guide intended to support the CIE 9626 A level IT syllabus but it can be used for any exam board. The guide includes clear instructions and examples of code for every task so the student can follow it independently for fours lessons. The guide covers the following: Variables Alerts and prompts Displaying outputs using bookmarks Creating and calling functions Functions to show and hide messages Prompt and alert functions Using operators where the student will create a guessing game Conditional statements (if, else if and switch) Loops After each section pupils will complete a challenge such as creating a grade calculator.

Working with Google Sheets and Forms create an App that builds a Database An extensive guide that may take up to two lessons(22 pages of screen shot steps and text). Using App inventor and google sheets your class can build an app where they will enter their name, after school club and day of the week they attend the club. The data from the app will append live on the google sheet in front of their eyes. The app is fairly complex to build so I would only recommend this with more able groups.
