Summary

These resources are subdivided into eight topics plus an end-of-unit assessment. Each topic contains enough content for one to two lessons of material. The resources contain appropriate case studies and scenarios to help illustrate how IT is used in business and industry. The first two topics look at digital devices, their functions and use. In the third topic peripheral devices and media are considered. Topics four to six look at the concepts and implications software including operating systems, user interfaces, utility software and application software. The final two lessons consider emerging technology in IT and how IT systems are chosen. After the final topic there is an opportunity for students to sit an assessment test comprising questions of a similar style to those found on the BTEC unit 1 exam paper.
