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)
Period 2 – 10M1
Task 1 – go through the marking spreadsheets and check for any incomplete tasks – and do them!
Notes: health and safety. Following advice from the exam board, it is better to write a paragraph of H&S advice rather than annotate a diagram
Viruses:
Answer the following questions in sentences:
What is a virus? How do you get them? What software can prevent them? What do you have to do with this software so that it can find up to date viruses? What can you do to prevent your computer, if infected, connecting to the net? What other advice would you give – e.g. re email attachments etc.?
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 witing 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!)
Period 5 – 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.
