Are you ready? Which subjects do we have? How do we organise our work? How do we use a mouse? Task 1 – Can you create a folder for every subject you are going to do this year This is really aimed at getting students using computers. I went into primary schools and some students are so used to using Ipad’s that they don’t know how to use a mouse or create folders. Get the students to create a set of folders and get them to create every folder. Ask them why it is important to create folders and talk about filenames etc. Use Student Timetable as a guide

Which one is the correct folder name? MrChambersICTLessonsYear7 Ooiasjfoijsadfjo Year 7 ICT Computing This is really aimed at getting students using computers. I went into primary schools and some students are so used to using Ipad’s that they don’t know how to use a mouse or create folders. Get the students to create a set of folders and get them to create every folder. Let them know that we’re doing computing not ICT you can be funny and give them permission to correct their teachers ;) OFSTED aren’t happy that some schools are still calling it ICT – Explain to the students that ‘IT’ is a subsection.
