ICT Skills In An Enterprising Context

Students use the Internet to research the process of trainer customization - by searching online they must learn how to customize different types of trainers (how to prep the shoe, where to find a template, types of paint required and so on.)

They then use the internet to identify a local source of materials, pinpointing the exact location of the store using Google Maps.

Finally they present the information they have discovered in the form of a Powerpoint presentation.

The package includes a sample professional-standard prepared Powerpoint presentation, "Bling my Trainers" which can serve as a model for the pupils own work. It includes a video of trainer customization in action, sample templates and details of a possible Scotland-based supplier of specialist paint - everything the students need in case they want to try trainer customization for themselves.

Materials are specifically designed to allow the delivery of Core Skills ICT units at Access 3 and Intermediate 1 (SQA) - all planning comes supplied.

Fully Differentiated Materials (Access 3 / Intermediate 1)

Includes fully differentiated materials, both in terms of written language and the complexity of taskwork set.

Perfect for mixed ability classes - different students can follow parallel paths at Access 3 and Intermediate 1 at the same time.
