How ICT can support Technology 

ICT in the Technology programme can be used in collecting and analysing, searching and researching, controlling and modelling and creating and presenting. 

Skill in the use of ICT can be developed through pupils:

• Investigating sources of information from databases, encyclopaedias and the internet • Collecting, recording and presenting information using spreadsheets and associated charts and graphs • Drafting reports • Creating images of design solutions • Controlling devices and sensing or monitoring conditions.

Examples which ICT can support:• Measuring ­ non­standard units ­ metres ­ cm ­ mm.• Scaling ­ maps and mapping ­ CAG ﴾presentation graphics﴿ / CAD ﴾drawing to scale﴿• Drawing ­ 2D drawing ­ 2D plans ­ 3D nets ­ perspective• Graphs ­ reading plans and maps ­ drawing basic circuits ­ interpreting diagrams• Gears and levers• Electronics ­ basic circuits• Control ­ flowcharts ­ CAD/CAM ­ programming for control• Pneumatics ­ applications of syringe ­ valves ­ pistons ­ cylinders

Search skills for Investigating sources of information from databases, encyclopaedias and 

the internet 

One method of teaching information skills is that known as “the Big Six.” The following is an outline of the process described in this method. www.big6.com/kids/

1.  Define the task ­ what needs to be done?2.  Information Seeking Strategies ­ what resources can I use?3.  Location and Access ­ where can I find these resources?4.  Use of information ­ what can I use from these resources?5.  Synthesis ­ what can i make to finish the job?6.  Evaluation ­ how will I know I did my job well?

Use Information Magic Database to use Search skills for Investigating sources of information 

from databases

Tips for Investigating sources of information from the internet 

Put several key words in the search box to narrow a search

Use a search engine such as www.google.co.uk

Put an exact phrase in quotes e.g. "Falkirk Council"

Use the asterisk * in place of letters to find words with part of words or if there may be alternate spellings e.g. colo*r

Use Microsoft Word to Draft Reports

Download reporting templates from http://office.microsoft.com templates 

Create Planning diagram using Word drawing tools:•Click on View – Toolbars – Drawing.•Drawing toolbar will appear along the bottom of the screen.• Click on Autoshapes – Block Arrows.• Drag chosen shape to desired size.• Shape can be adjusted by pulling white or yellow handles• Right­click on the shape and choose add text.• Right click on edge of a shape and choose Format AutoShape to adjust colours and thickness of lines.
