Fed up of planning separate lessons for mixed-ability ICT groups? This ready-made resource is designed for Post-16 ICT, Essential Digital Skills, and Functional Skills courses, and covers online safety, secure payments, and digital literacy in a simple, structured way.

It’s fully differentiated across multiple levels, so students can access the same topic but at the right level for them. The design is clean and aimed at older learners, with clear explanations of real-world topics like online shopping safety, payment methods, and data security.

Lower-level learners start with straightforward tasks such as recognising safe vs unsafe online behaviour and understanding basic payment methods like contactless cards and mobile payments. Worksheets support this with simple activities like matching and sorting.

Higher-level learners are stretched through more analytical tasks. They compare payment methods like PayPal and direct card entry, looking at speed versus security, and evaluate real risks when shopping online. At the top end, students explore concepts like SSL encryption using simple analogies to understand how online data is protected.

Everything is structured using a clear “Must, Should, Could” approach so you can easily differentiate in one lesson without extra planning.
