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 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 packages to be comfortable with before you start
the case study are:
- A
word processor, ideally Word version 6 or higher or equivalent
- you should be able to create, save and print simple documents.
- A
presentation program, ideally PowerPoint - you should be
able to create slides with simple build effects and display
them confidently under mouse control.
- A
CD-ROM, such as Encarta or one of the other popular CD-ROM
encyclopædias 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 access the World Wide Web
using Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, use one or more
of the common search engines, and understand how Internet addresses
are formed.
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.
