This is a complete BTEC Unit 1 including the assignment and Scheme of Work. It has been used and moderated in the past. I hope it is useful. If you update it, please let me know and I will repost or link to the updated version.

This handy little worksheet is designed as a refresher for Spreadsheet Formulae and can be used whilst PCs are booting up or as a plenary to ensure understanding. I've used it from Year 7 through to year 11. There is also an Excel Spreadsheet with all the formulae and answers. It should be zoomed, so that you can scroll down and reveal the answers one by one.

I used to teach this a lot when I was an ESOL teacher and it never ceased to amaze me how creative my students could be, even the ones who barely had the vocabulary to describe their room at home came up with inspiring ideas. The idea is simple, show them the slides of future cities, get students to say what they see and then get them to write an essay as to what they think will happen to their city. I hope it brings as much joy to your lessons as it did to mine.

Shows the many ways that students can interact with PCs. Very useful for Special Needs students who might find it difficult to write or even type.

This is a very simple multiple choice that either allows you to quickly make your own multiple choice quizzes for students to do or for students to develop their own quizzes. It's deliberately plain so that people can add their own designs and unlike most PowerPoint quiz templates this one allows you to choose any answer as the correct one. (This prevents students from simply learning the order of the quiz) It was developed to help prepare students for their Edexcel GCSE coursework and is one of the resources my colleagues keep on asking for...

Students very much enjoy discussing topics in Economics that are relevant to then. This little cluster of resources enables teachers to discuss the recent launch of the Kindle Fire and how it affects demand and supply for the iPad. It includes a student made poster as well in Publisher and PDF Format. Do students think this is the correct interpretation or do thet think they could do it better? (This resource could also be used for ICT when discussing new technology.)

Please view the films before showing students, because they may not be suitable for all children. At the time I was teaching a fairly challenging set of children in Middlesbrough and wanted to show them that just because somebody is disabled it does not mean that they are not people and don't have fun! I hope it is a useful lesson.

This survey shows how not to do it! A great lesson for students to see that even adults make very silly mistakes and a real confidence builder for them to note how they could do it better. This resource now includes a detailed lesson plan and Worksheet for making your own survey.

This little lesson was designed to encourage students to search using keywords and then reference information given. It also shows how keywords can be used to precis information. I hope it's useful.

A spinner that enables you to assign plots at random. Also included is a print out version and a handout with plot summaries. Tech Savvy students will be able to play with the code and make their own spinners.

I made the original worksheet about 3 years ago and staff keep on requesting copies of it. It's a very simple sheet to explain how to design a good quality PowerPoint Slide. I've added a PowerPoint presentation with the answers and a simplified lesson plan. I hope its helpful and please adapt as you wish.

This is a complete BTEC Unit 2 including the assignment and Scheme of Work. It has been used and moderated in the past. I hope it is useful. If you update it, please let me know and I will repost or link to the updated version. There is also a link to a complete lesson on OS, which could be used as part of the unit.

This little activity gets students to think about different audiences and how to make an appealing logo. It also allows students to look at the difference between Vector packages and bitmap packages. As an extension students could also animate the logo. (The activity can be done by hand as an alternative.)

I made this for a performing arts enrichment for the students who did not want to be in the play. Students try to design a poster aimed directly at the audience by: 1. Having a standout image 2. Using the minimum amount of text 3. Being very clear about the audience & their motivation for seeing a play. I hope this PowerPoint saves you a bit of time trawling around for theatre posters and gives students some direction as to what is expected when making this kind of poster.

This is a complete scheme of work and resources for making a 3d Eco House using Google Sketchup.

This lesson shows students a very well written letter of complaint and then encourages them to roleplay how they would deal with such complaints. Originally made for BTEC Business this could also be used for writing letters of complaint in English or as a precursor to a scene in Drama.

This PowerPoint and accessories enables you to set a timeline for a story. You can either print the timeline or use the interactive version.

A lot of students don't know why spreadsheets are important and this little set of cut out cards shows how spreadsheets can be helpful to people.

This is a crossword for the technical terms my students forget. I hope it's useful. I&'ve also included a link to Eclipse Crossword, which is the free app I used to create it.

Nice little activity to encourage students to use Formulae more carefully. Ideal for G&T year 8s, year 9s and 10s. I hope the students enjoy working it out. (Answers are provided)
