comeplete powerpoint on internet safety.
using resources from the net, www.thunkuknow.co.uk and what we talked about, use the powerpoint presentation to make young people aware of the need to be careful when putting info about themselves online.

target audience: students in years 5-8
success criteria:
all slides MUST be consistent - same background, colours, fonts, layouts etc. (This isn't just me - if you ever want to get above a level 3, then this is what you have to do! - to all the moaners out there who want their work to look "pretty" - tough!)
topics to include: blogging, social networking, using mobile phones


Year 7 period 3

you are going to be writing a picture book aimed at KS2 students telling them about a famous historical event. The project will be in several parts - As I have already mentioned, planning and evaluating are more important than just doing "stuff" ,so for the IT bit we have to produce a plan - and that is what we'll be looking at today. Later on we get to actually put things together, and then we'll evaluate it. #

You will need to discuss what makes for a good picture story - the SUCCESS CRITERIA. This is a list of things that your story should be like - at the end this is what we'll be using to mark each others work - You'll get the chance to look at different stories and then grade them as to whether they meet the success criteria or not. You need o think about two different sets of things in the success critiera - 1 lot which is all about the picture book that you have made and the second lot about the language that you are using.

Mr Bidgood will come in and tell you where the worksheet is for this planning section.

The way the software works is that you can have up to 10 chapters, and each chapter can have 9 pages.

Stories often have beginnings (where you set the scene, describe what is going on etc) A middle (where the stuff happens) and an end (where everything gets explained) You'll also need to think about what characters you are going to have etc.

RULES:

Boys- no wars, fights or gun stories. It's ok to have a murder for example if you were telling a police story, but NOT just fighting fighting fighting like you all try to do in Drama!

Year 10 - period 4

questions can be emailed to me at mrphil@tenburyhigh.worcs.sch.uk
HOWEVER: read the instructions first and actually try to think what it's all about before asking daft questions, 'cos if I think that they are daft, then I'll tel you so rather than tell you what to do!


research task: what type of software is a driver and what does it do?

Everyon : get on with your work!

Mark band 3-4 in add on marks:
You need to consider the pros and cons of three different scenarios - on-line vs high street shopping, email vs post for keeping in touch with Auntie Val in Oz, and doing your homework on the computer or by hand. On the
window ledge on the printer side of the room there are a bunch of film reviews, cinema leaflets etc. start to scan some of them in and add them into mark band 0-2.

About Me

The one problem that I find as an ICT teacher is that all these kids get in the way of my interaction with the computers
