Case Study
1:
Using ICT to Present and Exchange Ideas
Before
You Start…
Welcome to the Swansea Bay Online Learning Partnership case study
series for teachers of Design and Technology. Before you start
work on this case study, you will need to ensure that you have
confidence in using the skills and ICT packages the case study
uses.
The
most important packages to be comfortable with before you start
the case study are:
- A
word processor, ideally Word Version 6 or higher - you should
be able to create, save and print simple documents with Word.
- A
CD ROM, such as Encarta or one of the other popular CD encyclopedias
available - you should be able to load and run a disc, and understand
how to search through it for specific topics. The use of a CD
ROM in this case study is optional, and is based on the use
of the Internet - you might feel it appropriate to spend time
on other aspects of the case study.
-
The Internet - you should be able to get onto the Internet,
use one or more of the common search engines, and understand
how Internet addresses are formed. You will also need to understand
how to copy images from the Internet into your own documents,
and a help-sheet for this task is provided at the end of the
case study.
-
E-mail - you should understand how to send, receive and
reply to e-mails. This is an optional feature in this case study.
- A
presentation package, ideally Microsoft PowerPoint - you
should be able to create, save and print simple presentations
with PowerPoint.
If
you do not feel comfortable with any of the above, please refer
to your skills-check and discuss with your mentor the best way
of getting your skills ready before you start. If you are missing
just one of the skills, and you are happy to develop it while
you are working on the case study, go ahead with the next part.
