Session 4
Outcomes

By the end of the session you should:


ICT in the Foundation Stage


Hyperlinks

In Word or PowerPoint select an object or a some text then right click over it. Choose this line from the menu:

A dialogue box similar to this will open (note screenshots are from Office 2007)

Either browse to the file you wish the link to open, paste a web address in the bottom line or if it's another place in the document click on the appropriate button.


Powerpoint - animations and sound

For animations - choose custom animations. For sound - insert sound. I'll demonstrate these in the session


Text editors, wordprocessors, desktop publishing (DTP) and multimedia

What type of application has been used to produce these: document 1      document 2?
... or can you spot which of the paragraphs in this document have been typed incorrectly?

A free DTP program that you can download from here (choose scribus-1.3.3.12-win32-install.exe for use with a Windows PC). You may have to allow the download, then save the file. Double click on the saved file to install the program.


Downloading software

This link takes you to a page listing of free software that can be downloaded onto your own computers (scroll down the page for start of the list - security settings in college will prevent this being done on college machines). I'll demonstrate the process on my own machine.
