Features of a poster

Poster planning

Poster making

Creating a slide deck template

Creating a slide deck

Reviewing a digital product

In this unit pupils will use a range of skills across several pieces of software. They will work between applications to create a poster and slides on a given theme. The unit is designed so that pupils can apply skills that they may have previously learnt as well as those learnt in the unit.

Clear messaging in digital media

An introduction to computer networks

Protocols and IP addresses

Wired and wireless networks

The internet

Exploring the World Wide Web (WWW)

Internet of Things

In this unit pupils will explore the impact networks have on our daily lives. They will define what a network is and explore the benefits of networking, before covering how data is transmitted across networks using protocols. They will investigate different types of network and hardware required.

Computer networks and data transmission

Features of a blog

Using images appropriately

The credibility of sources

Research and planning a blog

Promoting a cause

Use criteria to develop a blog

During this unit, pupils develop their understanding of information technology and digital literacy skills. They will use the skills learnt across the unit to create a blog post about a real-world cause that they would like to gain support for.

Using media to gain support for a cause

Sequence

Program variables

Selection

Operators

Count-controlled iteration

Problem solving using programming constructs

In this unit pupils will build their confidence and knowledge of the key programming constructs (sequence, iteration, selection and variables). Learners will use Scratch to explore the key programming constructs firstly through editing pre-existing code and then by developing their own programs.

Using fundamental programming constructs in a block-based language

Creating programs on a physical computing device

Using input and output

Connecting micro:bits to other hardware

Designing a physical computing project

Developing a physical computing project

Reflecting on a physical computing project

In this unit, pupils will plan, develop, and evaluate a physical computing project. They will break down the project into smaller, easier-to-solve tasks. They will put these plans into action to create a working prototype that they use to evaluate their successes and identify future improvements.

Physical computing using the micro:bit

Formatting data in a spreadsheet

Spreadsheet calculations

Collecting data for a purpose

Analysing and visualising data

Sorting and searching data

Applying conditional formatting to data

By the end of this unit pupils should be able to model data within a spreadsheet. Pupils will progress from using basic formulas to using inbuilt functions. Pupils will apply sorting and searching techniques to data and explore how conditional formatting can be used to present data effectively.
