Outcomes |
|
Children: |
- Lead a discussion about ways in which the pupils can evaluate the public information system and identify the range of opportunities that might be beyond the scope of this unit or the equipment available.
- Ask pupils to work in pairs or individually to identify the improvements that could be developed and to write up their evaluation of the work done and the potential improvements.
|
|
- make critical evaluations of the public information system and identify the criteria that are independent of the project
- understand that user requirements are vital for all ICT systems
|
|
Points to note |
- A pro forma of evaluation criteria might be helpful as a handout for pupils to guide their discussion and writing.
- An extension for this work could be the identification of similar public information systems and the role they play for their users.
