The teacher taught
the children how to create and link pages within a word processor.
The children were given a task of:
- creating documents on Egyptian
Gods/Goddesses
- linking the pages together
- sending an e-mail with attachment.
They followed differentiated worksheets, which asked the children
to think about the audience, create text frames, text flows and
select suitable images taken from the Internet (previously book
marked by the Teacher). The children saved and printed independently.
The teacher demonstrated the children how to load the e-mailing
program and discussed the importance of passwords and why they are
needed within a school. Using the previously created invitation
the teacher showed the children how to create an e-mail and attach
the invitation. The e-mail was sent from one computer to another
within the school to show the children what would happen and how
to open an attachment.
The children were then given the opportunity to create their own
invitations. The task was to create frames with a suitable background
colour and write an invitation to someone. They were asked to import
images to enhance their invitation and send them via e-mail to one
another.
These activities provided the children with the opportunity of creating
attachments and consolidating skills in History, Language and IT.
Assessment of IT skills took place through constant observation
and discussion with the children.
