Year 9
Complete flyers started last lesson.
This needs to be added to your evidence powerpoint. As you do, consider these points. I have highlighted the bits you need to focus on. Simply describing WHAT you have done gets you a level 4, or thereabouts – to improve on this you need to explain WHAT you have done, WHY you did it (e.g. audience needs, more efficient, fit for purpose etc) and HOW you could improve…
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.
Year 7
Students are working on a spreadsheet to calculate the cost of a disco.
Worksheets are available from shared/ict/year 8/spreadsheets/disco costs – open worksheet 3 AND DO ALL OF IT, then do worksheet 4
Make sure you do all the extension activites.
When you have done this, go to shared/ict comparing search engines v3
Choose a single search to do, and do the same search with the different search engines. We will be discussing your findings (which do you prefer and why) next lesson.
Year 10
Carry on improving your project 1a/b based on the mark scheme.
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! Poppy, Ryan et al – this does NOT mean just looking on the internet!
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!)
