ICT and History

Today we will:  Look at the module aims and assessment  Begin to blog  Think about using ICT within History  Create a resource in groups Linkbunch:

Example Iesson

Children researching  Point children in the direction of good internet resources  Provide media collections and weblinks  Written resources are sometimes better  Clear and readable web addresses  Check reading level is appropriate  Transition between children working as researchers and children communicating their findings  Work towards a shareable digital artefact

Some useful links  History programmes of study: key stages 1 and 2: data/file/239035/PRIMARY_national_curriculum_-_History.pdf data/file/239035/PRIMARY_national_curriculum_-_History.pdf  Children’s British History Encyclopedia:   Infant Encyclopedia   Primary Homework Help: History:   Wikimedia Commons   Pinterest collection   Google advanced search tool, compfight.com  Snipping tool

Modelling  Children may struggle with a task because they can’t visualise what a good one looks like.  Modelling gives them a structure and an idea of the end product.  Think about combining methods: e.g. books, pens, paper, laptops.  Choose one or two tools and work in a group to make a resource you could use in the classroom.  Think about issues such as groupings, inclusion, resources and assessment.

What does ICT add?  Can’t do it any other way?  More content or add depth?  Explore content through different media?  Input and feedback from a wider audience?  More personalised and differentiated learning?  More choice and control?  Better pace and engagement?  A better hook?

When using ICT in History:  Learn technology skills in advance  Specify websites  Have clear objectives  Link with an historical skill  Provide challenge both in terms of history and ICT  Be aware of the balance of objectives  Engagement and repurposing of content can make lessons memorable  Use plenaries to review historical content

Task Explore tools and resources for enabling children to engage in digital research on a historical theme. In groups, plan to apply some of these techniques to the development of a media resource on a historical theme. This might include a set of curriculum plans, a template and source materials for pupils to use, a finished product or a combination of these. Write a short description to turn this into a lesson idea with clear objectives linked to historical skills, providing challenge in terms of history and ICT.

Example ideas Make a one-minute newscast to report on a historical event. Explore virtual environments and share findings in a digital artefact. Produce a historical recipe or cookbook. Create a photo story showing ‘what I know/what I want to know’. Create a historical timeline. Animate a pivotal scene in history. Create an eBook to illustrate ‘One day in History’. Make an interactive whiteboard resource to introduce a historical character.

Make a one minute newscast to report on a historical event.  e.g. Tudor newsreaders on the death of one of Henry VIII’s wives.  Research the script and think about roles: e.g. director, camera operator, news reader, script writer, time manager.  iPads: iMovie, GreenScreen FX  Desktops: MovieMaker  Links:  video.aspx?id=80 video.aspx?id=80
