Science And ICT

Communicating


Ciber Cafe by larskflem

A key feature of ICT is the way it can facilitate communication. Children's understanding of scientific concepts are constantly evolving and being able to easily update their work is a real benefit. Having an easy means of revising and changing work to reflect these ever-changing "constructions" is a powerful reason for using computers in science.

Standard Microsoft Applications can be used in creative ways to communicate their knowledge, some ideas include:

Using PowerPoint to make a Quiz, or Alphabet Glossary. The tutorial on using action settings with PowerPoint may help.
Making a report on planetary conditions into a Publisher based, Solar System Gazette, Book Master, or a Postcard from Neptune. The tutorials on Making Books With Publisher and Newspapers in Publisher may help.
Using digital images to describe a Bicarb and Vinegar investigation in a text document or as a movie in the Chocolate Crackle PhotoStory. Other ideas for creating digital stories can be found at my DigiStories wiki.
Using prepared templates with embedded URL's to provide a focus for literacy groups such as Energy Quest.

Blogs, Wikis and a range of associated communication tools enable students to quickly and easily communicate via the internet such as Emily's Coeliac Blog and the Envirokidz wiki. For further examples of things Web 2.0 check out Bloggin' Furls et al.
