🛠 What do pupils and teachers need?

The pupil activity pack introduces pupils to the importance of a computer operating system. For the introduction activity pupils will need to watch the video overview and then complete the missing words on the sheet to show their understanding. For the rest of the activities, pupils will need access to either Windows 10, Chrome OS on Chromebook or an iPad with iPadOS 15 or above and the Word document (Plus Microsoft Word on Windows/Pages app on iPad/Google Docs on Chromebook to edit the document) to add their screenshots for each skill. For task 1, pupils using iPads will need access to the Files app. If possible, pupils could complete the skills for multiple operating systems if available to them.

👨‍🏫 Teacher Input and differentiation
The introduction video below is 5 minutes long and covers the 3 main uses of an operating system (opening and closing apps, organising files and changing settings) across Windows 10, ChromeOS and iPadOS. You may want to watch the video together with the class and pause it after each point to discuss. Pupils can then watch the same video in the pupil activity pack (pupil activity code above) and complete the missing words on the sheet to show their understanding of the video. Encourage the pupils to watch the video more than once to find answers. For children who are struggling, then you could give pupils the key times in the video for certain answers (see times below). 

✅ Assessment 
Pupils can complete the sheet for the introduction activity on a print out of it or in Word, Pages or Google Docs. For task 1, downloading the task sheet and renaming it is the task. For tasks 2-4, pupils will demonstrate their skills by adding a screenshot of each tool into the document (this is demonstrated in task 2 below).
