Case Study
3:
Using ICT to Model Relationships and Control
Events
Before
You Start…
Welcome to the Swansea Bay Online Learning Partnership case study
series for teachers of IT. 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 package to be comfortable with before you start
the case study is:
- A
spreadsheet - such as Excel (ideally version 6 or higher)
or equivalent - or perhaps a dynamic modelling program such
as Model Builder. You should be able to create tables, enter
and replicate formulas, and produce graphs.
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 or two of the skills, and you are happy to develop them
while you are working on the case study, go ahead with the next
part.
