Notes to Facilitator

During the Technology Literacy course, participants were introduced to word processing and afforded an opportunity to spend time working through the online activities in order to develop their skills and confidence. In this unit, participants build on the knowledge already developed by considering innovative ways in which a word processor can be used as a resource by learners during the learning process. participants will be expected to review an example activity and draft a list of issues that should be considered when implementing a classroom activity in which the word processor is used as a resource by learners during the learning process.

Participants will need access to a computer with Internet connectivity as they will be expected to spend time online searching for innovative lesson plans and/or classroom activities. The facilitator will need to be on hand to support participants who encounter problems completing the activities. participants should be encouraged to try and solve problems by working with their peers.
