Activities

Outcomes
Children:
  • Choose two URLs that you are already familiar with. Demonstrate entering the name to find the site.
  • Demonstrate the use of right click to copy pictures. Discuss why some pictures only copy the location and not the picture. Use Minimise and open a text program. Use the Paste command.
  • Demonstrate text copying in the same way.
  • Discuss copyright and why the source should always be acknowledged.
  • Ask the children to produce a piece of work from the imported text and picture files. Discuss who the work will be for.
  • enter a URL to find a web site
  • copy and paste from the internet into a word processing or DTP program for publication
  • understand issues of copyright

Points to note
Children need to understand that a URL is a Unique Resource Locator and that the computer uses number codes which must be accurate.

Ensure that the computer has suitable media players.

Check whether the URL has pictures for downloading and pick one which does not.

More-able pupils will also be able to import sound files to a multimedia authoring package.
