ICT Resources

This is a fun activity which encourages learners to use IT vocabulary to identify common devices, emojis and icons. It includes a link to an on-screen Wordwall activity where they can test what they already know about devices and common computing icons. 

Editor's note

Completing these challenges will help students to create a basic PowerPoint that runs automatically and provides evidence through printed handouts.
