 10 ICT
Happy new year!
You should have all received your report which includes the
Term 1 unit 3-5 exam grade, and downloaded a copy of the
model answers pdf from the week 15 lesson.
This term we need to concentrate on some of the practical skills
required for paper 2 for this course, starting with databases.
You will need a copy of MS Access on your home computer.

2
 IMPORTANT ADMIN TASK
Having completed term 1 we are all in a better position to now
create three smart targets for term 2, and just as importantly
sort out a class seating plan in the computer room to ensure all
students are fully engaged during the lesson.

Being focused is especially important when completing practical

work, which requires your full concentration to understand the
concepts. This is mainly because practical work cannot be
revised at the last minute before an exam.

The keyword to remember is ‘PRACTICE’.
