'''Allow pupils to figure out how to turn them on (find the power button). The pupils should be discussing this in the groups. Encourage them, e.g. by making analogies with other electrical devices. If they are stuck, first show one group and then ask that group to show others. When they have managed to turn on the computers, they should observe what happens; the login screen comes up. Remember that faster groups should help slower groups. | ||
# '''Exploration of the login screen. '''Ask groups: What do you need to do next? What do the parts of the netbook do? Can you give names to the parts? Give them plenty of time to discover and press things on the netbook (with the password screen up), without telling them. They can’t really break anything if they are careful. Let them help each other and discuss with each other what they are finding out. | # '''Exploration of the login screen. '''Ask groups: What do you need to do next?

When they have managed to do so, they should immediately help other groups to reach the same stage. | # '''Logging in.

# '''Exploration of the desktop. '''They now need to apply their new knowledge: “click” on “username” ''classroom'', and “enter” the “password” ''student. ''They now see the desktop. When a group is ready to move to the next stage, the teacher demonstrates how to open a web browser (to that group). Ask the students to do the same. Again, the students find out what happens. Don’t worry if they can’t open the web browser - let them try to open whatever applications they like. | # '''Exploration of the desktop.

This activity is an example of enquiry-based learning, which we will cover in much greater detail later in the [[OER4Schools]] programme. | This activity is an example of enquiry-based learning, which we will cover in much greater detail later in the [[OER4Schools]] programme. | ||
