Collins International Lower Secondary Computing series is structured around six themes relating to computing and digital literacy and offers learners a comprehensive and engaging approach to learning, enhanced by real-world applications. Each chapter is organised to develop essential skills, leading learners towards the creation of a final project.

The Collins International Lower Secondary Computing Stage 7 Workbook is written with a range of international contexts in mind and is designed to be used in lessons alongside the Student's Book. As an essential companion to the Student's Book, the Workbook offers a range of exciting activities to help students consolidate understanding, think creatively and plan practical tasks, and to record, evaluate and reflect on their learning, supporting metacognition. The clear and engaging pages offer a mix of fun and varied activities such as quizzes, 'Rate your progress' and reflection tasks as well as structured frameworks to record thoughts and ideas, and develop computational thinking and ensuring no learner is left behind. End-of-chapter reflection features help students to assess their progress and understand how they can improve. Following the same chapter and unit structure as the Student's Book, the clearly signalled Workbook activities provide further practice and extension material for learners of all levels, to support and enhance learning. The Collins International Lower Secondary Computing series provides in-depth coverage of the Cambridge curriculum frameworks for Lower Secondary Computing (0860) and Lower Secondary Digital Literacy (0082), as well as the UK national curriculum for Computing at secondary level This resource is not endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education.

The Stage 7 Teacher's Guide offers comprehensive teacher support, providing everything needed to teach with confidence using the Collins International Lower Secondary Computing Stage 7 Student's Book and Workbook. Collins International Lower Secondary Computing series provides in-depth coverage of the Cambridge curriculum frameworks Lower Secondary Computing (0860) and Lower Secondary Digital Literacy (0082), as well as the UK national curriculum for Computing at secondary level. The course is organised around six themes relating to computing and digital literacy - Our digital world; Content creation; Create with code; How computers work; Connect the world; The power of data. The chapter overviews and lesson summaries show how these themes are developed in Stage 7, helping teachers to plan their course. The Teacher's Guide offers a detailed lesson plan for every unit, giving guidance on how to run the session, including lesson objectives, reference to key pedagogies, mapping grids, worksheets, resource sheets, answers, support for assessing end-of-chapter projects and 'Build on this' extension activities. The lesson plans and introduction provide valuable subject knowledge and support for non-specialists. This includes summaries of the key computing pedagogies used in the resources, and references to further reading to develop teachers' own practice. Built around an internationally sound pedagogy, this framework for teaching provides real-life contexts and culturally responsive examples into a project-based approach and incorporates all learners' knowledge, ways of learning, and heritage; where learners are given more of an opportunity to choose appropriate contexts for themselves. The accompanying downloads, available on the Collins site, includes PDF and editable Word versions of all the resources in the Teacher's Guide, to print and adapt, as well as source files, mapping grids, worksheets, resource sheets and recommended sites to support practical tasks with a host of resources to supplement teaching. Written by Flip Computing, a team of female experts who have a breadth of computing experience across industry, education and research, and their culturally responsive approach provides teachers with an accessible and inclusive learning experience for all ages and inspires greater participation and tech career pathways for all. Supports teachers to prepare learners for a seamless transition to Lower Secondary Computing Stage 8. This resource is not endorsed by Cambridge International Education.

The project-based activities nurture creative skills and give learners the opportunity to make decisions and develop projects that matter to them. Stage 8 projects focus on everything from using Python, to creating an advertisement for a product, giving children the tools to build key computing and ICT skills, linking the five strands of theory to the practice of computing, and showing learners how computers work. Collins International Lower Secondary Computing series provides in-depth coverage of the Cambridge curriculum frameworks for Lower Secondary Computing (0860) and Lower Secondary Digital Literacy (0082) as well as the UK national curriculum for Computing at secondary level. Each chapter enables students to develop their computing and digital literacy skills through a fun, practical and relatable project. Stage 8 helps learners to create an advertisement for a product, use Python, design and program algorithms using AND, OR and NOT logic, create a troubleshooter to find and resolve a wide range of computer problems and use sound, video, images and text to create a virtual tour. Learners will build their understanding throughout the stage, using a rich variety of sources with an international focus to support their learning. With regular opportunities for discussion, group work, investigation and design, the Student’s Book and Workbook encourage active learning throughout. This includes ‘unplugged’ learning to explore concepts and foster computational thinking skills. Each chapter concludes with an opportunity for learners to build and showcase their own work, consolidating their learning through self or peer assessment and reflection. Clear explanations, visually engaging activities and ‘Key terms’ features are designed to support young learners, especially those with English as a second or additional language. The course includes the latest hardware and software information, additionally exploring Artificial Intelligence and AI images and empowers learners to navigate the online world safely by equipping them with crucial digital safety skills. Written by Laura Sach – a female expert with a breadth of computing experience across industry, education and research, and her culturally responsive approach provides teachers with an accessible and inclusive learning experience for all ages and inspires greater participation and tech career pathways for all. Will prepare students for a seamless transition to Lower Secondary Computing Stage 9.
