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 Science. 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
CD-ROM, such as Encarta or one of the other popular CD encyclopędias
available - you should be able to load and run a CD-ROM and
understand how to search through it for specific topics.
- The
Internet - you should be able to access the World Wide Web,
use one or more of the common search engines, and understand
how Internet addresses are formed.
- A
word processor, ideally Word version 6 or higher - you should
be able to create, save and print simple documents which incorporate
tables.
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 them while
you are working on the case study, go ahead with the next page.
