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 Welsh as a Second Language. 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
word processor, ideally Word version 6 or higher - you should
be able to create, save and print simple documents with Word.
- A
CD-ROM, such as Encarta or any other popular CD-ROM encyclopædias
available - you should be able to load and run a disc, and understand
how to search through it for specific topics.
- 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.
- A
Presentation Package, such as Microsoft PowerPoint - you
should be comfortable in producing short presentations for projection,
printing or use by students on-screen (there is a PowerPoint
tutorial on the 'Pictiwrs Picasso' CD-ROM).
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.
