OER4Schools/ICT/Consolidation 1
ICT practice (20 min): consolidating what you have learnt so far. Review the previous three sessions. You have learnt about netbook use, about slideshows (in a browser and in OpenOffice), as well as about finding images. In this session you can now consolidate some of these skills. Work in pairs, on a topic of your choice. Make sure that you work towards activities that you can also try in the classroom.
You will need to judge how many new things you can introduce. If the group you are working with have so far mastered the ICT tasks easily, you could get them to explore additional features of OpenOffice impress. If they have a lot of experience with OpenOffice already, you could just move on to Geogebra or do some mind mapping. However, if the group you are working with has been struggling, make sure that they understand the basics. You could pair teachers who are more advanced in their ICT use with teachers who are less advanced.
At the end of the ICT practice, spend a few minutes recapping what you have covered in the ICT practice so far: netbook use, slideshows, finding images online.
