Activity 7: Producing the resources


 

 

6 hrs



 

In this activity you will make your resource using an ICT programme. You may choose to use a wordprocessor, a spreadsheet, a presentation package, or web editor. You should be drawing on all the knowledge, skills, and ideas you have developed through this module to create a dynamic mathematics resource. You should draw on and refer to the plan you developed in Activity 4, where you planned your own learning experience.

Activity

An introduction page

  1. Choose which programme you are going to use to develop your resource:
  • word-processor,
  • spreadsheet,
  • presentation or
  • web editor.
  1. Open the programme and create a new file called "my resources". Type in the title of your learning experience as the starting point.
    Remember to save this document on your own disc or computer.

  2. On the cover page give a brief introduction to what the learning experience is about and list the learning objectives that you hope will be achieved.
  3. Look for a photograph or a graphic that might support the cover page topic and make the cover page look interesting. Insert the picture into the page. Use the Graphic Tip sheet if you need to.
  4. Layout the page and format it so that it will best suit your learners.

Developing or adapting the activities

  1. Go through your planned activities one-by-one. Add each activity to your resource file on a new page.

For each activity you should make sure that:

  • It is clear what you expect your learners to do.
  • You have collected all the resources you need (ICT-resources, worksheets, models, equipment and tools for practical tasks, etc).
    Note: You do not need to develop all these resources. Some may be available on the Internet some may be on this CD.
  • Layout and format each of your activities and include some graphics to make them more attractive to your learners (see page layout tips).

Remember: A worksheet or any other resource can also be read or used directly by your learners on a computer screen.

  1. Share your resource online with your group (using the subject heading "Maths Learning Resource".).

Note: In the following activity you will be reviewing the resource of another member of your group.

Make comments in your e-diary, about your thoughts as your plan develops and takes form – has it been challenging, exciting?
