Educational Computing Skills

Assignment 2: (Across units: You will need to read UNIT 2, 4 & 5))

General guidelines

• Submit the files electronically Edulink, using the file name that is given with each
assessment task.
• In all cases sources should be referenced. Additional marks are allocated for original work,
or work that references sources that were found elsewhere than the sources included in
the study materials.
• Present your work neatly. Avoid technical, grammar, spelling and typing errors
• Due date: Week ending 30 April 2009 in Edulink: 04ECS001

Content Computer Skill

1.1 Using Drawing tools, create a graphical representation of Word Processor:
how Forcier (1999) classifies the use of computers in • Text entry
education • Drawing tools
• Saving files
Save the file as your student number followed by _01. e.g. 200912345_01 (20)

1.2 Forcier (1999) says that computers may be used for Word Processor
teaching and learning. Simonson and Thompson (1997)
explain how Word Processors may be used for teaching • Text entry
writing. • Formatting (bold, italics,
underline, font, font
colour, font size
Construct a word processor document in which the steps as
described by Simonson and Thompson are reflected.
Save the file as your student number followed by _02. e.g. 200912345_02 (10)

1.3 Create a spreadsheet that can be used for teaching or Spreadsheet

learning purposes in your specific learning area or subject. • Data entry
• Use the appropriate
function/formula
• Format text in the
spreadsheet
• Use gridlines
Save the file as your student number followed by _03. e.g. 200912345_03 (20)

1.4 Create a presentation that can be used for teaching or PowerPoint

learning purposes in your specific learning area or subject.
Save the file as your student number followed by _04. E.G. 200912345_04 (20)

1.5 Create one FOLDER using your student number as the File management
folder name. Copy all the files into this folder. Zip the • Creating folders
folder to prepare to submit it as an attachment. • Copying files
• Zipped a folder
Create a folder named like 200912345, copy all 4 files, zip folder, and attach zipped (05)
folder in Edulink
