KS3

Summary

This unit will enable pupils to create a complete app with full takeaway functionality on an iPhone, Android, Windows or Blackberry smartphone as well as a desktop web browser in class. Pupils will plan and implement their own projects using skills from a teacher demonstration app which creates a guide to the Periodic table including image galleries, video, interactive maps, and web links. Pupils will also be able to program extensions to their own apps using the built-in language Blockly. The unit will be assessed using an assessment portfolio and the completed apps can also be made available for parents and teachers to view online.

This unit requires the use of AppShed which is available by separate subscription at AppShed.com.

A discount code offering 15% off any EDU account is available with a unit purchase.

7. Homework sheets with answers for every lesson
8. Worksheets with answers for every lesson
9. Starter activities and plenaries for every lesson
10. Activity preparation slides in all presentations

What people say...

“

The feedback I have had from my staff are all positive. We use your material and adapt each to suit our students. It has certainly made our life easier, especially as there are so many other factors that take up our time. It’s actually the first time I have bought in resources in the last 6 years. What we like is the quality of the resources, the activities are engaging for our students and the assessment material is varied (tests as well as tick sheet) and easy for students to understand.

We think PG Online resources are great. They have got us started as non-computing teachers! We love that we can edit the resources to suit our needs.
