| Learning Outcome(s) | 1.2.2.LO.1 - Discuss and evaluate the physical safety hazards and their prevention in the use of computers | ||
| Content Standard | 1.2.2.CS.1 | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 1.2.2.LI.3 - Discuss and evaluate the physical safety hazards and their prevention in the use of computers | ||
| Lesson Focus | Discuss and evaluate the physical safety hazards and their prevention in the use of computers | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Describe the key idea in: Discuss and evaluate the physical safety hazards and their prevention in the use of computers Apply the idea through guided and independent learning activities. Demonstrate understanding through oral responses, written work or practical performance. | ||
| Essential Question(s) | What ICT skill, system or responsible-use principle is central to Discuss and evaluate the physical safety hazards and their prevention in the use of computers? How can the appropriate digital tool or network process be applied efficiently and safely? How can the result be tested, improved and used responsibly? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Demonstration and Guided Practice Hands-on ICT Practice Collaborative Learning Problem-Based Learning Digital Citizenship Project-Based Learning | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Computer(s) where available Projector/TV where available ICT reference materials Whiteboard/markers Learners' notebooks Security/safety case cards Workstation safety checklist | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Provide step-by-step task cards, screenshots, partially completed files or diagrams for learners who need support. Extend advanced learners with additional features, troubleshooting, automation or more complex user requirements. | ||
| Process | Use shared-device rotation and paired roles where devices are limited, while ensuring every learner performs the target skill. Use offline simulations/printed interfaces where connectivity is unavailable without changing the objective. | ||
| Product | Use evidence such as multimedia documents, spreadsheets/presentations, online-communication tasks, network designs, security plans or short technology evaluations. Assess functionality, accuracy, responsible use, security/safety, organisation and ability to justify tool choices. | ||
| Success Criteria | Learners use correct subject vocabulary. Learners complete the main task with reasonable accuracy. Learners explain or demonstrate how the concept applies in a new situation. | ||
| Homework | Complete a short application task connected to the week's learning indicator. | ||
| Lesson Activities | |||
| Stage | Teacher Activity | Learner Activity | Assessment / DoK |
| Starter10 minutes | Show a tool, drawing, system, product or workplace scenario linked to computer and information security and ask learners to identify the task or problem. | Share prior knowledge, listen to peers and record the lesson question in their notebooks. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Demonstrate computer and information security using a diagram, tool, material sample, process chart or safe practical example. | Observe the demonstration, identify tools or steps and record safety points. | Ask learners to identify the correct tool, process, safety rule or design feature. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Guide learners to plan, measure, assemble, test, troubleshoot or evaluate a task related to computer and information security. | Complete the guided practical or analysis task while checking accuracy and safety. | Check the task for accuracy, safe procedure and clear explanation. |
| Activity 310 minutes | Give a technical problem and ask learners to select a suitable method, tool or design choice. | Apply the method to the new problem and justify the technical choice. | Use a short exit task on choosing the right process or tool for another technical task. |
| Lesson Closure | Summarise computer and information security and correct one common misconception using learner examples. State one thing learned and complete the exit response. | ||
