Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Demonstrate how buttons can create links between pages.
  • Prepare a set of A4 sheets showing sample multimedia pages without links. The set should include a menu page and pages which lead to a number of following pages.
  • Ask the children to work in groups to identify the links between the pages, draw on any necessary buttons and write next to the buttons the page to which they link.
  • Ask each group to produce a flow chart showing the links between the pages. The arrows on the flow chart should be labelled with the choice that would appear on screen.
  • organise sample screens and identify appropriate choices and links

Points to note

Children who find connecting pages easy to understand could be introduced to the idea of branching structures and web-like structures.
