There will be no taught session 10 (though there is some material on-line). Students will be presented with their certificates from the first year
and will be able to hand in their assignments.
One or two people have said that they would like a checklist for what the assignment portfolio should contain. Difficult to do, as there are such a variety of
approaches - but this may help some of you:
- contents page
- brief description of your school and role (it helps put the rest of the items in context)
- mini essay (or alternative) to show an awareness of natioanl initiatives
- item based on task 7
- item based on task 8
- any other item(s) which help to show that you meet the module items
- brief reflection on ICT skills and knowledge which you have developed during thsi module
- bibliography - all of the sections may be supported by quotations, but rather than have separate bibliographies for each section, put them all together
- appendices - these may include photographs, examples of posters, worksheets or other items to illustrate your uses of ICT in your setting,
school planning documents
This is not supposed to be a prescriptive list - I was in two minds about writing it - I hope it helps, rather than worries you! Remember you can get in touch with me by email:
