Adapting the Resources for Different Learners or Work
This
part of the case study follows from what has just been said about
evaluation of resources. If a piece of software, a World Wide
Web site or a dedicated piece of courseware can be used for more
than one group of learners or across more than one area of work,
it follows that it is more valuable to you in your work.
In
the case study, the teacher found the ideas behind using the web
sites and CD resources useful for this particular group on this
particular task, but also useful with the same group in other
areas of their PE work. It was simply a matter of spending time
with the pupils exploring the potential of a range of sites. We
have already seen that this particular activity can be used as
an introduction to various levels of work, and that it can cover
work in the GCSE curriculum. Variations on the same method could
also be used in introducing pupils of all ages to the significance
of sport in the economy. You are only limited here by two things
- the ages of the pupil in terms of his or her understanding of
economic factors, and the age of the pupil in terms of his or
her development of ICT skills.
With
this in mind, think about how you would complete the grid on the
following page, and discuss it with your mentor.
