KS3

Summary

This unit gives students a first insight into the fascinating world of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Pupils begin by considering where AI is used from simple problems such as solving a maze to those more advanced, such as self-driving cars. Students will then look at how machine learning and deep learning are used in image recognition. This is a fast moving area of development, so the Ethics of AI is considered. The following lessons give an opportunity to develop AI programs such as a simple image recognition system, a virtual assistant and a sentiment analysis system for film ratings. 

What's included in the 10th Anniversary toolkit?

The new units have been written to satisfy the new National Curriculum for Computing. They are designed for teaching at KS3 but individual lessons in some units may also be appropriate for teaching Key Stages 2 or 4, particularly where Year 10 students may not previously have been exposed to certain topics.

The 10th Anniversary Upgrade includes:

1. Revised content based on teacher feedback that fully meets the national curriculum requirements 
2. Full HD 16:9 widescreen presentations with enriched illustrations 
3. New starters and plenaries with every lesson 
4. Full answer slides for all questions asked in presentations 
5. Worksheets with answers for every lesson 
6. Homework sheets with answers for every lesson 
7. Updated learning objectives and unit assessments 
8. Updated lesson plans for new and non-specialist teachers 
9. Pointer slides to worksheet activities in all presentations 
10. An improved foundation and progression for the latest GCSE and vocational qualifications 

What people say...

PG Online material for KS3 has been instrumental in helping me transit from ICT to Computing with a department of just two. Cutting down work load in planning SOW and resources. All material have been adapted to suit our school with ease and the pupils are really enjoying the programming elements.

These units map very nicely to the new Computing curriculum.  They are well organised and consistent in the way they are structured and also easy for teachers to use and deliver the content.
