As in the last session, use the robot/traffic lights resource to assess your progress as a group whilst doing the ICT activities.  This will alert the facilitator to which groups need assistance.  Enabling participants to ask for help without fear of judgment helps with the creation of a supportive workshop environment.
 
{{activity|dtgw| with ICT on various topics.|20}} Review the notes made in Etherpad. Does everybody understand how Etherpad works? Some participants may want to edit and tidy up the notes from this session.
 
Continue to try out Geogebra. How did the Geogebra exploration go? How can you use Geogebra in a lesson? Use the [[OER4Schools/activity template|activity template]] to develop an activity as you continue exploring Geogebra.
 
By now, you should aim to develop some familiarity with the ICT tools that we have introduced so far, namely Geogebra and Open Office Impress (for images), and also make progress your typing practice. You can refer back to the
[[OER4Schools/Introduction_to_Geogebra|introduction to Geogebra]],
[[OER4Schools/Introduction to slideshows with OO|introduction to slideshows with
OpenOffice]], and
[[OER4Schools/Typing practice with students|typing practice with students]].
{{ednote|text=
Learning about Geogebra, Open Office Impress, and attaining reasonable typing skills are key goals for this programme. As participants practice these skills, go round the room and see whether you can identify problems.
