The purpose of this activity is to encourage you to think about your work as an educator in the classroom, and think of how you can use a word processor to make your work easier. Before you proceed with this activity we would like to encourage you to not only think about the word processing skills that you may need, but also to think about the actual content that you will be typing. If you have already gained some confidence with the word processor you may want to consider spending more time on the design of the questions in the activity.

Consider the uses of ICT that you listed in Activity 1 when doing this activity.

Group activity 3 - Word processor for lesson preparation

  1. Think about classroom activities you have planned for the next few weeks.

  2. Prepare a document for an actual classroom activity, such as notes, a test, a learner-centred worksheet, etc.

  3. Use the word processing features you have already learned where appropriate. Use these Word processor skills tips as and when necessary.

  4. While you are busy, send the rough draft as an attachment in email to your tutor (using the subject heading "Classroom materials ") for feedback.  Explain in the e-mail message what the document is about.

  5. Adapt the documents based on any feedback you receive from your tutor.

  6. Complete the document and use it in the classroom.

  7. Share the document with your group online and share the successes and problems you experienced with the document. As part of this sharing, you should also read and comment on the documents of some of your fellow group members.
