b.
Evaluating the Resources Used
The
following questions should be applied to your use of the data-logging
equipment, your use of the spreadsheet, and any attempt you made
to put the two together:
- Ease
of use - pupils and teachers need to get straight from the ICT
to the subject learning, without complex loading or other access
issues.
-
Interactivity - pupils should as far as possible be able to
gain an active rather than a passive relationship with the resource,
and be able to control the source of information as well as
handling the information itself.
-
Guidance - where more complex experimental and data-handling
procedures are demanded, the resource should provide adequate
instruction on how to do this.
- Technical
robustness - the resource should work under a variety of technical
conditions.
- Flexibility
for use with other learners - any resource that you can use
with a variety of learners under a variety of conditions will
help you make most effective use of the limited time you have.
Questions
for Consideration
- How
did the resources you used in following the work from the case
study perform in relation to these criteria?
- In
this use of ICT, what Health and Safety aspects should be considered?
