Animated Presentations
The animated presentations can be used by teachers to help with the delivery of the subject content for the Computer Science GCSE. These are NOT ‘death by PowerPoint’ presentations, but are attractively illustrated and animated to demonstrate computer science concepts in an easy to understand and engaging way. The presentations can be used standalone or can be used alongside the included online textbook with direct links to activities, reading and questions. A large selection of carefully selected videos are embedded within the presentations.

A few of the video links are to BBC videos which will only work within the UK. This only applies to a small number of videos, but if you are teaching an international school then it is best to be prepared knowing that these videos will not work, especially if you tested them at home on a VPN and assumed they were working.
