Reboot your Key Stage 3 classroom with this all-in-one textbook that will inspire you to deliver creative Computing lessons with confidence.> Boost knowledge and skills in bite-sized chunks: every double-page spread represents a lesson's worth of targeted content and activities > Build understanding of the principles of Computing and improve IT skills with a range of engaging activities> Challenge students to think creatively about what they are learning and how it can be applied in the real world> Empower students to check and drive their own progress through Key Stage 3 and to GCSE, Cambridge Nationals and BTEC, and beyond, with regular knowledge check-ins and activities> Ensure complete coverage of the National Curriculum, with an easy-to-follow Progression FrameworkWe've listened to how you teach Computing at Key Stage 3 and designed our brand-new toolkit of digital and printed resources around you! Comprising of everything you will need to confidently deliver the National Curriculum in Computing and develop students' ICT skills, Progress in Computing: Key Stage 3 combines lesson plans, presentations, interactive resources, quizzes and assessments with a Student Book.The Progress in Computing digital and print 'toolkit' will be formed of 16 modules that can be used flexibly to suit a teacher's context. Our brand-new digital platform will also give you unparalleled flexibility in terms of choosing your own pathway through the resources, with the bonus of all elements being tagged clearly against the curriculum, our 2 and 3-year Scheme of Work and progression to Key Stage 4 qualifications.Digital resources include: - videos, animations, online self-marking coding challenges and worksheets - teaching and learning support and lesson plans including course planners for centres in England and Wales- a mixture of teacher-led, teacher-facilitated, plugged and unplugged activities- baseline assessment and an end of Key Stage 3 assessment, with auto-marked homework quizzes and end-of-module assessments track progress throughout the course.
