It is like having a computing dictionary on the walls of your classroom for the students to quickly refer to and can help with spellings of common computer science terminology as well as acting as a reminder of the meanings of computing terms. As it is fully editable you can add to and alter the definitions yourself to make a truly personalised learning wall display for your classes. These terms are suitable for KS3 computing and GCSE computer science classes. Each slide has been adjusted to print on A4 paper and it is recommended you print them in colour for maximum effect. The colours of the key terminology refer to the following categories: Blue – Programming and Algorithms Red – Networks Purple – Computer Systems Green – Cyber security Orange – Binary, Data and Logic

This activity helps towards of the coverage of the new computing national curriculum requirement of understand what algorithms are. An algorithm is a set of instructions. Help pupils learn about putting instructions into order using these cards. Ask the pupils to cut out each set and stick them in the correct order on paper or card. Cards 3 and 4 can have multiple answers and can form the basis for group discussion. A good activity to use before introducing the pupils to bee-bots.
