This Word table introduces students to Open Source software and asks why schools are still prepared to pay for commercial software? It is useful for familiarising students and teachers to software types, what is available for free and what benefits a school gets from commercial software.

This lesson is focused on students being able to compare the uses of different types of software, and how they are beneficial in a business setting. Included: PPT Worksheet Starter activity

The Role of The Software Industry in The US Economy The worksheet consists of an information text. Based on this text, there are various exercises such as matching tasks, multiple-choice questions, open questions and true-false questions. You receive the material and solutions in PDF format for easy printing and in docx format for individual customization.

Save time and effort writing reports. This report writing assistant allows you to automatically create termly or end of year student report cards from an editable statement bank. Quickly and easily create a report by selecting statements with a click from 18 statements in each of 9 categories (162 statements in all) to build up a complete report comment, all of which will automatically adjust gender pronouns (he/she etc) and insert the students name where appropriate. Comments can also be free typed in the report comment box. All the statements in each category can be customised by the user. A class list with the gender of the students can be inserted and the final report comments can be copied and pasted into any other report package and the overall class comments saved to an xls file for archiving. The spreadsheet uses macros and will require macro access to be enabled, see the help sheet in the spreadsheet for details how to do this. see a demo at https://youtu.be/7rNxxekoUpk Have a look by downloading the free evaluation version at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/report-writer-free-evaluation-version-11751250 Please note this spreadsheet will not run on Mac versions of Excel, it will only run on PC versions of , due to incompatibility issues between Microsoft Office on the 2 different platforms.

OCR GCSE Computer Science Types of Software Objectives: Understand the keywords of “open source”, “proprietary”, “custom written” and “off the shelf” software Be able to understand the advantages/disadvantages, and key features of custom written, off the shelf, open source and proprietary software. Be able to discuss and write exam style answers to respond to questions about the types of software.

This lesson is the 10th in a sequence of lessons that looks at how hardware and software are integrated on a computer system. This lesson looks at the reasons why computer programmers must make sure that their programs can cope with errors and the ways that they do this. There is a significant amount of new key vocabulary in this lesson, and it would be a good idea to set a homework that asks students to reinforce the terms introduced in this lesson. The lesson plan is provided in PPTX, PPTS and PPT formats, while the learning mat is available as PDF, PPTX and PPT files.
