Knowledge Organiser covering 2.1 Computational Thinking Algorithms and Programming. This Knowledge Organiser is for the new (277) specification and is mapped closely to the contents of the spec. This is an attractive and highly visual document that would act as an excellent revision aid.

Retrieval / revision exercises for GCSE Computing ( OCR, the new 277 Spec) This pair of resources cover spec points 1.3.1 - 1.3.2 (Networks and Topologies to Wired and wireless networks, protocols and layers) . The resources are provided in both PowerPoint & PDF formats and includes answers as well as a blank answer grid for students. I have included two retrieval exercises in this resource, due to the large amount of content in these spec points. Retrieval grids are perfect for classroom activities, homework, or student revision.

A collection of mindmaps, for each topic within the OCR 277 Specification. There are 11 mind maps in total (covering 1.1 - 2.5). Each mind map contains all the relevant terms for the topic and they are designed to support students with revision so there is space for them to make additional notes if they want to. The resources are presented in a .zip folder which contains copies of the mindmaps in both PDF ad JPEG formats, so they can be incorporated into your own resources easily if required.

A double-sided knowledge organiser for OCR A Level Computing , designed for Unit 1 topic (1.2 Software and software development) The knowledge organiser is matches the specification exactly. It contains student tips and is carefully designed to make use of dual coding. This resource will both support students in preparing for tests and assessments, and aid teachers in planning lessons for each topic… All graphics are either designed by me, or used under license from the Noun Project.

These is a set of worksheets , written for the opening topics in OCR GCSE Computing (277 spec) The worksheets are attractively presented using a dual-coding style and are linked to spec points 1.2.1 - 1.2.5 There are 5 worksheets in this pack: 2 x “PC Advisor” worksheets; Open-ended written tasks covering primary and secondary storage. 3 x short activity worksheets; These feature a range of activies (mind maps, gap-fills, calculations, short answer questions) covering Data Storage (for images and sound) and Data Compression Answer sheets are provided for the short activity worksheets. All images used are either created by me or from the Noun Project, for which I have paid license (which does not s require attribution of individual images - evidence available on request)

This retrieval grid generator allows you to instantly generate three-by-three grids of random revision questions at the touch of a button. Each grid pulls questions randomly from a bank of over 170 questions, covering topics in both units (1 & 2) from OCR’s 277 GCSE Computing spec. You can create grids based on: Unit 1 - Computer systems Unit 2 - Computational thinking, algorithms and programming Unit 1 & 2 An answer grid is also generated with each set of questions, and a blank answer grid can also be printed. The spreadsheet file is set up for easy printing. When used in lessons on a regular basis, Retrieval Practice is an excellent way of boosting student learning and helping students transfer knowledge to long term memory. This retrieval grid generator makes it simple to create retrieval practice resources in seconds, so that students can embed their learning on a regular basis and not just in the run-up to tests/exams.

This is the third in a set of four guides written to support students with the Programming Project (NEA) part of OCR A Level Computing. The marks for the written elements of the project outweigh those awarded for the program itself and it is very important that students include all the detail necessary to access mark band four of the assessment criteria. This is detailed, structured and attractively presented multi-page guide that breaks the Development task into two sections, covering 3.3.1 - 3.3.2 of the Unit 3 spec. Each section features written guidance along with a clear breakdown of what the students should write. Supporting examples are provided as well explanations of the key ideas required in this section A checklist is also provided which can be given to students to help them ensure that they have completed all parts of the development section

One in a series of ten “retrieval grids” for A Level computing. This resource covers: 1.2.1 Systems Software These grids are perfect for supporting retrieval practice in the classroom or for student revision. Each resource comes with: • A 3 x 3 grid of questions • An answer sheet • A student answer sheet • A template which can be used to create additional grids The retrieval grids can be used with an optional “points” system. Questions are worth 1 – 3 points each. The points are based on the order in which the students are likely to have been taught the content (based on the order the topics are listed in the spec) with questions on the most recent topic being worth just a single point. The points system is optional and if used, it is important that it is “low stakes” only
