Case Study
2:
Using ICT to Find and Structure Information
Before
You Start…
Welcome to the Swansea Bay Online Learning Partnership case study
series for teachers of Key Skill Communication. 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
spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel - you should
be able to create a spreadsheet, insert simple calculations
and produce bar charts or graphs.
- A
word processor, ideally Word version 6 or higher - you should
be able to create, save and print simple documents with Word.
- 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.
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.
