Case Study
3:
Using ICT to Model Relationships and Control
Events
Welcome
to the Swansea Bay Online Learning Partnership case study series
for teachers of History. 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-ROM
encyclopędias available - you should be able to load and run
a disc, and understand how to search through it for specific
topics.
- 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.
- More
advanced word processor competence - you should be able
to create text boxes in Word, and use lines and shapes to design
handouts and worksheets - this will be important when you come
to produce History-specific materials with pupils.
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.
