Period 1: 7W
Shared/ict/year7ict/spreadsheets/fiona’s models/
Run the powerpoint (don’t just open it) and then select the first 3 of the spreadsheet exercises: the library, car dealer and (but not the café)
If this is completed, open the comparing search engines worksheet that we did last lesson – you have already looked at all the different search engines – this time I want to choose 2 search engines and write about how you could use them instead of google.
What is different about them?
What do you like about them?
What could be made easier/better?
Period 2: 10M3
Part 1: coursework catchup. The people on the left have mostly finished, but the motley crew along the right hand side of the room still have a large amount of work to do.
MArksheet is in Shared/ICT/Grades/year 10 –look up what hasn’t done and try to do it.
Before you all start saying “don’t know what to do” and stropping, please remember: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS – and I have been over this with you individually MANY times!
Everyone else:
For project 2 you will be going through all the steps to set up a complete ICT system for a small organisation. I’d like you to try writing up some notes to form the basis of your scenario.
Example orgs that have worked well in the past are: mobile hairdressers/beauticians, badminton/tennis/yoga coaches, newsagents and paper deliveries, beavers/cubs/youth group membership details etc.
All these have 1 thing in common – they are run by a single person, WHO DOES NOT HAVE A PC AT THE MOMENT.
Go to shared/ict/gcse ict/ project 2/analysis/ and open the analysis template. Complete the scenario section. (we WILL review this later!)
Year 9 ICT
Evidence powerpoints.
Take this opportunity to go through and ensure that you have all the evidence you need for the work that you have done.
Before you say “but I’ve done that” consider this:
Level 4- describe: I have done this …
Examples: Use the distance travelled & cost of petrol to calculate the cost of a coach
trip using a spreadsheet. Use a costing model to vary prices on goods to maximise
profits and minimise costs.
Level 5- explain: I have done this because …
Examples: Recognise reliable sources of information. Draw conclusions based on
statistical data: why are games consoles searched for more in the last four months of
the year than at other times?
Level 6- evaluate: I did this and it was better than that… I could do it better by …
Examples: Write a user guide for a computer system. Design a spreadsheet/database
system to perform a specific task. Revise how to complete a complex task in order to
improve the outcome. Explain choices made in making recommendations to an end user. Compare your use of ICT with other methods.
If you have done this, then:
Ticket sales are going slower than expected. You need to do something quickly to advertise the show to get people to come and see it.
In publisher, design a FLYER to be handed out in town.
Remember: a flyer is an A5 piece of paper that is handed out to passers by.
In your evidence powerpoint you will need to consider how the audience of a flyer differs from the audience of a poster (from which you can get most of the ideas for the flyer)
