Introduction:
Finding and Structuring Information
During
this case study, you will discuss and develop your skills in using
ICT in teaching and learning to do the following:
- Use
ICT to handle information - this is specific to this case
study.
Plus you will develop your ability to:
- Plan
for the effective use of ICT.
- Organise
classroom use of ICT.
- Prepare
and present materials for learners using ICT.
- Use
the functions of ICT and understand its limitations.
- Review
and evaluate courseware and software.
- Relate
the use of ICT to learners needs.
- Develop
your learners' subject based learning using ICT.
- Assess
your learners' progress in PE as a result of using ICT.
- Help
develop your learners' capability in the use of ICT.
- Help
your learners develop within the IT curriculum.
The
first of these objectives is specific to this case study, and
represents the core of what the case study is about. The other
objectives are common to all three of the case studies in PE,
and represent the application of your understanding of ICT to
teaching and learning.
Before
we get in detail to the case study, we should look more closely
at what is meant by handling information in it. Specifically,
the case study will consider the importance of the following in
the use of ICT in teaching and learning:
- Accessing
the Internet for specific forms of information - in this case
study information about the respective and comparative earnings
of sports stars in the world of golf.
- Extracting
by manual and automated means the relevant information from
the web site.
- Placing
the information in a spreadsheet for manipulation and management.
- Transferring
the information from the spreadsheet to a Word document for
expression of the information.
Below you will find downloadable resources that accompany this
case study: a folder of nine images of golf stars for use in your
own products, an Excel spreadsheet showing the (fictional) comparative
earnings of some of the golf stars and a Word document, showing
the transfer of information from the spreadsheet as another way
of expressing it.
How
do I download Word documents and other files?
