Cambridge Technicals L3 – Interactive Classroom.net

In my school we have recently started this course and are running both the Introductory Diploma (1 A-Level) and Diploma (2 A-Levels) for Cambridge Technicals Level 3. As this course is so new, resources are still being developed. Six units will be developed this year and six next year. Each zip file contains an assessment log and PowerPoints (in the form of PDF to preserve formatting) to accompany each assessment objective along with an introduction to the unit. Resources, so far, are available for the following units:

Unit 1 (Mandatory) – Communication & Employability Skills for IT
Unit 10 – Developing Computer Games
Unit 15 – Computer Game Platforms & Technologies
Unit 17 – Interactive Media Authoring

Thanks
Avi

Hi Avi, thanks for your kind comment. So far I do not have anything for Unit 2 as I am not planning on teaching it until September (to be honest I’ve been putting it off as it doesn’t look very inspiring. I am currently working on Unit 20 and have some more that I need to upload as soon as I get chance.

Hi Nicki
What software are you using for pupils to develop/create their games?

When I delivered this unit I used Javascript and we made a web app, however this was a little problematic when it came to debugging errors so I probably won’t use it next time. I’ve used VB.NET in the past so I shall probably go back to using that, or possibly TouchDevelop.

Thank you – really useful – feel free to contact us for some resources once we have written them!

Hi Nicola, thanks yes all my Cambridge Technicals stuff is on here. I’m writing more units at the moment so they’ll be on here at a later date too.

Hi Nicki,
Thank you so much for sharing your hard work. I have used some of your resources and my students loved it. I was wondering if you have any resources for OCR entry level in computing.

Again thank you so much

Hi Noelia

I do have some resources for entry level which I am currently updating and tweaking. When I’ve finished I’ll post them on here. Thanks Nicki 🙂

Hi Nicki,

Im about to start teaching Unit 10 Develop Computer Games.
Was wondering if you had had any moderated yet? Which software did you use for the Computer Game? The exam board suggests Kodu, Unreal or Gamemaker but having problems getting these on the network.

Marie

Nicki Post authorMarch 6, 2014 at 13:17

Hi Marie

Kodu worked well for this unit, lots of schools use it and it’s free. It downloads as an MSI so should be no issue with deploying on a network. I don’t have access to any moderated work I’m afraid as I’m not at the same school any more and we’re not currently running this course at my new school.

Had to just comment and say a HUGE thanks. I have been teaching Unit 15 for 2 years now and it has confused me so much. I have searched online countless times for other people doing the same unit but had no luck. Now that luck has changed. Your resources are amazingly designed and have been a huge help to me just so i can understand the unit! THANK YOU!

Nicki Post authorOctober 30, 2014 at 14:04

Happy to help Dean! 🙂

Jo P July 13, 2015 at 12:17

Hi Nicki, hope you are well.

Could you please share your brilliant KS5 Camb Nat PPT Template … My students really like the look of it and have asked for other units we do in the same format.

thanks
Jo 🙂

Jo P July 13, 2015 at 12:18

Sorry that should have said Camb Tech 🙂

Adrian Muscat July 13, 2015 at 14:38

Hello Nicki

Great resources, I was wondering if you have any resources for unit 3?

Regards

Adrian

Nicki Post authorJuly 13, 2015 at 19:15

Hi Adrian, no not taught Unit 3. Will be developing more resources over the coming year as my current school is offering this from September (haven’t taught it in over a year since changing jobs!).

Nicki

Nicki Post authorJuly 13, 2015 at 19:16

Hi Jo

I’m good thanks. Will email to you 🙂

nasrin walji January 7, 2016 at 09:02
