Year 10
Sorry Mr. Brodhurst & Mr. Harrison cant be with you today, meetings for Mr. Brodhurst and a nasty broken bone in Mr. Harrison's case! Your tasks are:
1. Complete your unit 1 work. The evidence you need to have in your folders is detailed in the file called "Evidence you need in your folders for Unit 1" which is in the Unit 1 folder in the ICT OCR Nationals folder on the shared area. This will tell you what you need to have but you also need to open the Model Assignment pdf file which details the tasks and the markscheme pdf file which will tell you exactly how detailed the evidence needs to be to get you up to pass, merit and distinction level. This needs to be completed today.
2. If you finish this, your task for the rest of the lesson is the following:
a) Research a trip to a long-haul destination of your choice (e.g. Australia, Thailand, Hawaii etc) - gather pictures and info etc on the climate, attractions, methods of transport to get there, hotels, activities, scenery there etc.
b) Construct a powerpoint presentation to detail a trip to this destination, covering costs, how you will get there, scenery, climate, the hotel/other accommodation you will use, attractions etc. One slide each at least for each of these! Make sure your powerpoint is a mixture of text, images, graphs and video and is animated and has transitions in place.
c) If you get time, Create a poster in microsoft word or publsiher to advertise the trip to others - this should be designed to be put up in a school/college/workplace to drum up interest.
Many thanks
Mr. Brodhurst

Work for Year 10 Periods 1 and 2 Tuesday
Dear all,
Sorry I cant be with you today, meetings i have to attend instead. Your tasks for today, in order of importance, are as follows:
1. Complete your Unit 2 Website Design work. This means you must have open the model assignment and the markscheme pdf documents and then work through tasks 1 - 7. Most of you should be well on your way to finishing and should be working on tasks six and seven, testing and evaluating your website. Make sure you save your evidence for tasks six and seven in folders AO6 and AO7 and remember, you should have two versions of your website, the one that you created originally and the improved version that was created when you alter the website after the testing phase in AO6.
Make sure as well that your designs for your website in AO2 match your eventual website - you have probably changed a fair bit from the design stage so go back and re-engineer your designs to match if need be. Your designs need to be fully explained too.
2. If you have finished your website, your task for lesson two and for the rest of the term is to create a multimedia website for a small business. This could be any small business but some ideas could be a trade such as plumber, builder or landscape gardener; a retailer such as a music shop, florist or clothes store; a service such as doctors surgery, car park or church; or online only business like a holiday firm, web design business or virtual university. The best website will be published to the web via a new web site we will purchase online!
For your website - make sure you do the following:
a) Decide which business you want to focus on and research exisiting websites to get some ideas about what sort of sites they have.
b) Create a logo and an advertising banner on Webplus to use on your website.
c) Create a six to seven page website to advertise the business. Suggested pages to include:
i) Master page to include navigation bar, colour scheme and logo
ii) Homepage with advertising banner and welcome image
iii) Examples of past work/jobs
iv) Stock list (e.g. for record shop/florist)
v) Location - where to find them
vi) Contact details - how to get in touch
vii) Customer opinions - feedback via a form
Throughout your site, make sure you make use of a wide range of the following website features:
- Tables to organise pictures, text etc
- Sound to welcome people to the website
- Images to illustrate the good featires of your business, things you sell etc
- Video to bring your site to life
- Marquees (scrolling text) to make announcements
- Forms to get opinions from your website visitors
- Flash animation to bring your advertising to life
- Caldendars to give communicate key dates
- Email addresses to enable people to get in touch with you
- Hyperlinks to access external websites
- Navigation bars to help users get around your site
The best sites not only work well but also look good - spend some time thinking about good designs/colour schemes/fonts etc for your website.
Thanks

Work for Mr. Brodhurst's ICT group P3 Tuesday
Dear all,
Sorry i cant be with you today. What i would like you to do is to carry on with your unit 1 work, tasks 5 and 6. You will need to open up the model assignment document and also the markscheme document from either your user area or the shared area. The tasks you need are tasks 5 and 6 on the model assignment document. This means that you need to finish task 5, the spreadsheet which contains the costing information from your planned trips.
You can then start task 6, which is centred around a database for the people going on the trip. This database is saved on the shared area and is called StudSoc.mdb and you will need to open a read only copy of this and then copy the infomation in table 1 across to a new table in a new blank database (as the one on the shared area is read-only). Save THIS new database in your documents and then you can work on it, editing and deleting records etc.
For help on how to use Microsoft Access, don't forget to use the help menu within access.
Thanks

Hi year 10,
Sorry I can't be with you today year 10 - please can you carry on with your Unit 2 (web design) unit. This means you will need to have your model assignment .pdf file open, the markscheme .pdf file and also your designs (from AO1) that you should have finished by now. Remember - your design section has to contain the following sections:
1. A page describing the aim and target audience of your website
2. A page listing the pages in your website
3. A section showing how they all link together - which hyperlinks, buttons etc
4. A "Master" section which contains the graphics/navigation/colour scheme that you will have on every page
5. The designs of the (minimum) five pages that you will build
Using webplus, you need to build your websites as closely as possible to your designs. Remember, they need to be 5 pages minimum and they need to contain the information from the Scenario section of the model assignment document - to advertise the hotel, to publicise the rides, to gather opinions about the website etc.
Make sure you look at other theme park websites closely to get a good idea of how they are designed, what they contain, the language they use and the graphics that are appropriate etc.]
This should easily take you the rest of this double lesson if not a lot longer!
Cheers
Mr. B

Work for Mr. Brodhurst's Year 10 ICT Thursday P1
Sorry I can't be in today Year 10 - please can you continue with the work we started for Unit 2 (Web design). You have so far looked at some theme park websites to get a feel for how they are designed and built - so for today can you please:
1. Continue collecting images, text, graphics etc for your intended theme park website - save these in your AO2 folder. Remember you can re-work these photos in Photoplus to make them more "customised" to your website.
2. Start designing your 5-page minimum website. This means drawing it out using word, publisher etc and labelling everything about each page to give a full flavour of how your site will function, how it will look etc.
You must pay very special attention to the model assignment instructions to make sure you add all the features your site needs to have. Also a good idea to get the mark scheme open to see what constitutes a pass, merit and distinction and to make sure you don't miss any pass criteria.
Cheers

Extra work for period 2 for year 10
Dear year 10
Thanks to Danny and Ben for dragging me from my sick bed. Anyway, a while ago you may remember drawing your storyboards for AO1 for the animation unit - unit 20. I left them on my desk in CR2 and I think someone has recycled them - so I need you ALL to re-do them. This should not take you too long, and needs to be done on A4 white paper - Mrs. Lawrence should have some in CR1.
To do this, review your animation and draw it as a storyboard - it must be a plan as to what the animation will look like IT SHOULDN'T BE EXACTLY THE SAME.
You should have eight sections on your storyboard, drawn in pencil and labelled in ink with a sentence to explain how each part of the animation will work.
When these are done please put your name on the back of them and put them on my desk, neatly - if there is other junk on the desk please put them seperately in a pile.
If you have finished this, something completely different - work experience is later this year and pretty soon you're going to be needing ot apply for jobs, courses etc so a cv (curiculum vitae) is going to be handy. First of all, have a look at this connexions page on cv advice. When you're done reading it, have a go at creating your own cv and saving it in your my documents.
Cheers

Work for Mr. Brodhurst period 3 Tuesday
Afternoon girls,
My apologies but I really can't be in today - have done my neck in and can't move (unless I actually want a stabbing pain in my back) so here is what I want you to focus on this lesson.
First of all, you should all have done your homework which was to clear up all the last bits of evidence for AO1 - file management. This was based on the list I gave you last lesson. Your first job today therefore is to transfer any evidence files you have created to your user areas either from memory stick or email - remember to save them in the correct folders.
After you have done that, carry on with your work for AO4 - creating a variety of documents for your student society trip - you should all finish this today if you are up to date and working well. Some of you will undoubtedly get on to AO5 today, which is to create a spreadsheet to detail the costs of two trips - all that you need to know is detailed in task 5 of the model assignment document in the shared area. Make sure you have this document open during the lesson for reference and also the markscheme document from the same folder on the shared area.
If you have any problems drop me a line at eb2927@cartertoncc.oxon.sch.uk and I may be able to get back to you during the lesson - or I may be at the doctors!
Cheers
