|
Activities |
|
Outcomes |
|
Children: |
- Discuss with the class the public information system they are planning, to elicit the options within the outline plan,
eg the issues associated with the placing of a computer in the entrance hall and the approach to using the presentation package, or other software.
- Ask the pupils to work in groups to incorporate their information into the software. Suggest one group has responsibility for setting up the public information system.
- Ask each group to develop its presentation so it is ready to insert previously gathered information,
eg to test their ideas.
- Confirm with the class details for the updating of the information system.
|
|
- develop a presentation suitable for a specific audience
- combine a variety of media in a presentation
|
|
Points to note |
- The approach to sharing out responsibility for providing data on a daily basis may not be possible. Another approach would be for each group to concentrate on a different audience.
- A presentation package would be useful in setting up a revolving, self-timed presentation. It can also be used to have a non-timed user-controlled information source. Some schools may have web templates that can be used in a similar fashion. The presentation could be put onto a school intranet and updated during the project.
- Homework could involve each group taking responsibility for providing/maintaining one-day's information on the system, and asking other users what they think of the system.
