4 Expected Pupils’ Outcomes: By the end of the lesson pupils should have learnt to: A leaflet highlighting safety risks when using computers regularly. Detailed leaflet explaining the risks and how to minimise them. A suitable poster to inform students of one of the risks and how it can be avoided. Knows that computers collect data from various input devices, including sensors and application software. Understands the difference between hardware and application software and their roles within a computer system. Understands why and when computers are used. Understands the main function of the operating system. Knows the difference between physical, wireless and mobile networks. Recognises and understands the function of the main internal of basic computer architecture. Knows that there is a range of operating systems and application software for the same hardware. Digital Technologies – Knowledge and understanding - Digital systems Methods of data transmission and security in wireless and mobile networks (ACTDIK023) Specifications of hardware components and their impact on network activities (ACTDIK023) Binary is used to represent data in digital systems (ACTDIK024) Learners are assessed based on the completion of tutorials, exercises, portfolio of work and project diary file. Students update their project diary at the end of every lesson that shows evidence of their work using screenshots of their work. Students explain the skills they have learned and what they could improve in their learning and skills.
10 Expected Pupils’ Outcomes: By the end of the lesson pupils should have learnt to: Understand what is by the terms Spam, Phishing and Viruses.

6 CONTROL SYSTEMS – The Car Park Barrier Expected Pupils’ Outcomes: By the end of the lesson pupils should have learnt to: To be able to use a flowchart to control one side of a car park barrier which uses sensors and motors to control a barrier. To know that sensors & motors can be combined into control systems. The purpose of sub-routines in complex control systems. To understand how large & complex control systems are split into more manageable ‘chunks’ which make programming them easier & allows them to be adjusted. To be able to describe what a subroutine is. To be able to explain what a subroutine is. To be able to analyse what a subroutine is. To be able to evaluate what a subroutine is. To be able to compare what a subroutine is with a normal routine. Digital Technologies – Processes and production skills - Digital implementation Design plans, using a sequence of steps, and represent them diagrammatically and in English, to solve a problem and to predict output for a given input to identify errors (ACTDIP029) Implement and modify solutions, that include user interfaces within a programming environment, including the need for choice of options and/or repeating options (ACTDIP030) Learners are assessed based on the completion of tutorials, exercises, portfolio of work and project diary file. Students update their project diary at the end of every lesson that shows evidence of their work using screenshots of their work. Students explain the skills they have learned and what they could improve in their learning and skills. Task 5: Students produce control and monitoring solutions a flowchart-based interface. Pupils produce various control systems that use simple loops and basic outputs, and systems with multiple inputs and outputs. They will refine their solutions using subroutines and variables.
