If Mrs Lampert is covering:
Cameras are in the middle draw of my desk – cards are in the top draw.
Students can make their videos – when I get back I will transfer the videos to the shared files
If someone else is covering:
Go to shared/oct/comparing search engines v3
The idea of this is to look at a selection of different search engines, and use the same search term in all of them. Use the notes section to record your impressions of how useful/easy to use/interesting they are.
Use the same search for each engine – as suggested in the worksheet
Choose 2 search engines and have a good look at htem – next lesson we’ll be discussing your findings in class
Year 7 x 2
Design a poster to advertise the disco – remember the facts that you have available – free drinks, ticket costs, day, etc
Year 10
They should ALL be working to improve their coursework – lots of excuses will be made – they don’t understand, can’t do it, too hard etc, however I HAVE been over it with them lots of times, and they could always try reading the instructions!
Please ask D Bidgood to disable the internet if necessary

Friday 18th June. Periods 3-4 year 10
all students should be making sure that any and all work from projects 1a and b are complete. We have been over this many times, and if necessary, they could even read the instructions!
We have also started writing up the introduction to the main piece of coursework - project 2. The relevant info can be found in Shared/ict/gcse ict/project 2/ analysis.
students should already have a copy of the analysis template and be writing up their scenarios.
The next session is user requirements - what the customer needs a filing system to be able to do.
As a group we came up with the requirements listed in the file "current file system and user requirements" this should be written up in conjunction with the notes from "user requirements improvements" - to summarise - rather than a bald statement that the user needs to be able to add a record to their filing system, you have do describe a situation in which they would do it "in real life".
Then, imagine you were using a paper filing system. What problems would you have with keeping track of everything (particularly if you were not very organised)?
At NO stage in this section should you make any reference to computers or datebases.

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!)

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.?

Target: ensure that the planning and evaluation file that the students have been working on is up to date. make improvements to their games where possible. Ask the more able to support round room (1 merit to each helper).
cover work for year 10
Load the marking spreadsheet
look through for marks that are coloured yellow, and try to do the improvements necessary to turn them green.
Theory prep:
go to social effects of ICT and look at the mini site and information. Think about how ict has become so common in your life, and how different it is from when your parents were growing up. (A good idea would be to ask your parents/grandparents how they think things are different now - are they better, worse or just different?)
Go to shared/ict/gcse ict/theory/exam questions/ict and society, and try answering some of the sample exam questions.
cover work for year 9
Make sure that the mail merge letters that we were working on are complete and properly formatted as per the task sheet in the shared files (shared/ict/year9ict/drama production project/mail merge/)
In the drama production project folder is a video file called something like mail merge to label. This is a step by step video tutorial on how to make the printed labels that go on the front of envelopes.
When you are doing it, you need to make sure that you choose only the pupils who do not have a sibling at the high school.

Year 11 cover
Coursework: review progress so far:
design: you should have your 2 database plans, 2 letter s and 2 forms
implementation: show how you set up your database- make sure that the database that you set up matches your plans (table structure and forms)
mail merge - shared.ict.gcse ict.project 2.implementation - watch the flash video on how to set up a mail merge to a printed label - do it yourself and print screen the process...
Year 10s
make sure you ahve your DCFs and evidence scanned in. Produce evidence that you ahve spellchecked your work, used validation and done your queries.
go back to project 1a and review your pros and cons of ict section from the add on marks - make sure that you relate everything to your personal experience (even if you have to make up an auntie who lives in new zealand for the email section!)
Year 8
yesterday we started the review process for the logos - remember that you need at least 2 (preferably three) logos.
These logos get inserted into the worksheet
you email the worksheet to someone to review
Receiving the worksheet
Choose to download the worksheet and save it. Only open it when it has been downloaded.
make your comments, save it and close the file
THEN reply to the email and reattatch the review file
Receiving the feedback
Choose to download the file, NOT open it in internet explorer.
NOTES
To get a picture out of serif you need to export it into a file format you can use:
FILE - EXPORT - give it a name and click export ...

Year 11s
Carry on with coursework!
If you think that you have finished your plans, go to shared.ict.gcse ict.project 2.implementation and open the "implementation template"
you need to set up your database as per your plan v2 in the design template - and screenshot evidence as you go as per the instructions.
When setting up the DB, don't forget to set phone as number to start with, and to "discover" the lookup data type.
Otherwise, scan your forms and insert - make sure to annotate and link to your user requirements.
Year 10s
make sure that you have scanned the paper research, scanned the dcf and typed up the adverts into the database. include with the 2 scans a print screen showing the adverts that were on teh dcf/paper research.
find 4 web adverts, print screen them and insert below the above. type them into your DB and include a printscreen of the records in your DB.
run a spellchecker on your DATABASE (not word!) - tools/spelling
print screen finding an error - then print screen the corrected version. You have to have an error - if you don't, add on so thta you can find it!
Make sure that ALL spelling errors are completed.
make sure that you ahve completed the database plan, and that you ahve planned your queries - remember- to get mark band 17-19, you need to use and OR/NOT in the query - e.g. diesel estate NOT ford, or 3 bed semi in tenbury OR burford.

1) look at the data capture forms in these links:
In this file, describe the steps that the form designer has undergone to make sure that the quality of the data is as accurate as possible.
Data capture form design
In the table below, try to identify methods that the form designer has used to cut down on the number of errors that are made when filling in the forms.
