What do teachers say about this resource? (10599)

A large number of really useful offline ideas. I thought that this might be a good resource for cover lessons, but it is more a resource for when your computers are not working or when you would like to teach a section of the curriculum away from the computers ... The paper version comes with all the photocopiables on good quality paper, so that they are easy to cut out and laminate. The CD version, with Word, is editable. Excellent! ... We have been able to visualise certain concepts better and it keeps my kinesthetic learners very engaged ... It is so detailed. The teacher instructions are excellent ... This is a very helpful teaching aid. Buy it! ... it is perfect for the OCR J277 Computer Science Spec
