EDU5645 –Website https://sites.google.com/site/diteledu5645
Introduction This website is aimed to provide content and online activities about the ICT in Everyday Life as per Module 1 of the ICT syllabus. It is imperative that the website contains the element of participation whereby students can interact and contribute their work online. The target audience is mainly for Form 1 Students (aged 10/11); however, it can be used by all those students preparing for the ECDL exam of Module 1 or school ICT exams. The website is classified into various sub topics which are Communication, E-Services, Online Communities, Health and Environment. Also, some other pages are included which do not relate to the topic chosen but are necessary to make the website more effective and provide general content for the students. These ‘extra’ pages are the Notice Board, School Calendar, Disclaimer and Contact Us. This is further explained in the Navigational Structure as shown below.
Pages Related to ICT in Everyday Life The main pages include other subpages related to that specific topic. These subpages provide the educational content. The interactive part is in fact in the topic page which amalgamates all the sub topics together through online activities. This allows the students to either interact within the website or participate through an external link such as using a blog.
Activities planned: Communication In this page the students have a polling activity. The aim is that after all the students have contributed to the poll then the final result (which is directly shown on the page) is analysed and a discussion is developed as part of the lesson 1
E-Services Students are encouraged and guided to make research about the sub topics. Afterwards they should post information about these subtopics on the forum available on the web page. Here the teacher should stress the point that no plagiarism is allowed. Also, students have to give feedback, add to or edit to other’s posts. Online Communities Here the students will find an online crossword. They have to undergo this test and the score and time is noted. This will encourage proper information analysis, thus the students will do their utmost to gain the highest marks. Health An Online quiz is provided as the task that the students are expected to do. This will provide immediate feedback so that the students will be aware of their mistakes, thus encouraging further reading. Environment An online game is created by Scratch. Students have the freedom to go around a computerized environment and check out ways and means of how to take care of our environment.
Other Pages Notice Board This page will keep the students updated with the latest notices that the teacher wants the students to be aware of. School Calendar This page contains the school calendar showing the events, holidays, or activities held during the scholastic year. Disclaimer This page serves as a security measure in case students find elicit material in the external links provided.
