This retrieval grid generator allows you to instantly generate three-by-three grids of random revision questions at the touch of a button. Each grid pulls questions randomly from a bank of over 170 questions, covering topics in both units (1 & 2) from OCR’s 277 GCSE Computing spec. You can create grids based on: Unit 1 - Computer systems Unit 2 - Computational thinking, algorithms and programming Unit 1 & 2 An answer grid is also generated with each set of questions, and a blank answer grid can also be printed. The spreadsheet file is set up for easy printing. When used in lessons on a regular basis, Retrieval Practice is an excellent way of boosting student learning and helping students transfer knowledge to long term memory. This retrieval grid generator makes it simple to create retrieval practice resources in seconds, so that students can embed their learning on a regular basis and not just in the run-up to tests/exams.

A complete, 50 page + guide to OCR’s A Level Computing NEA Project. This comprehensive and detailed booklet is structured around the Unit 3 specification and contains guidance on each section of the project (analysis, design, development and evaluation) Containing a range of annotated examples as well as guidance on a number of essential project skills including effective code annotation and collecting data from stakeholders, this attractive student guide will provide excellent support throughout the project process. This resources has been used in the classroom with my own A level class and enabled the students to produce a detailed and well-structured write up that included all of the required content. This resource includes: One project booklet (over 50 pages) -Four summary checklists (one for each section) -One checklist/structure guide covering all four sections

A complete set of ten “retrieval grids” for A Level computing (OCR Spec), covering topic in both units 1 and 2. There are almost 100 questions in this resource. This resource includes revision grids for: 1.1 The Processor 1.1.3 Input, Output, Storage 1.2.1 Operating Systems 1.2.4 Types of Programming Language 13.3 Networks 1.3.4 Web Technologies 1.4.2 Data Structures 1.5.1 Computing Related Legislation 2.2.1 Programming Techniques 2.3.1 Searching and sorting algorithms These grids are perfect for supporting retrieval practice in the classroom or for student revision.

Questions are worth 1 – 3 points each. The points are based on the order in which the students are likely to have been taught the content (based on the order the topics are listed in the spec) with questions on the most recent topic being worth just a single point. The points system is optional and if used, it is important that it is “low stakes” only

All images used are either created by me or from the Noun Project, for which I have paid license (which does not s require attribution of individual images - evidence available on request)

This is the first in a set of four guides written to support students with the Programming Project (NEA) part of OCR A Level Computing. The marks for the written elements of the project outweigh those awarded for the program itself and it is very important that students include all the detail necessary to access mark band four of the assessment criteria. This is detailed, structured and attractively presented multi-page guide that breaks the Analysis task into four sections, covering 3.1.1 - 3.1.4 of the Unit 3 spec. Each section features written guidance along with a clear breakdown of what the students should write. Supporting examples are provided as well explanations of the key ideas required in this section A checklist is also provided which can be given to students to help them ensure that they have completed all parts of the analysis

This is a student study and revision guide for GCSE/Post 16 students. It was written with ICT and Computing in mind, but can easily be tweaked to use for other subjects (I have included an editable file along with the PDF) It has been produced with dual coding in mind The guide does not cover subject content, but is about study techniques to support learners throughout their studies, Many of the topics apply to all subjects. The guide includes sections on: Note-taking (why we take notes, the Cornell method, Outlining, Mind-mapping) Revision (How the brain works, spacing, interleaving, retrieval practice) Productivity (Getting Things Done and Pomodoro) Wellbeing (Diet, the importance of sleep, hydration, mindfulness, and digital wellbeing)

Retrieval resource for students, which I have used in Computing but can be used in any subject. These are designed to be used in lessons, to stimulate discussion between students and thus help them with the retrieval of learning from previous lessons. This resource is based on the the idea for retrieval placemats from Kate Jones’ excellent book “Retrieval Practice” As with all my resources, icons are from the Noun Project for which I have paid membership and thus I can use them legally without attribution (evidence can be provided if need be)

Attractive classroom display, giving a visual representation of the OCR GCSE Computing course. Would be a useful resource for an options evening. File is in high-quality PDF format.
