Technology in Education

Working individually, you will answer the following questions and send your answers to me at itgs.sass@gmail.com

Many schools are now offering a new educational resource for their students. Families and teachers have access to a password-protected web site where students may find information that has been provided for them.

In this web site there are links to different subject areas where teachers can place exercises, past exam papers, revision tools and even photographs from past field trips. Students and parents may access this site from school or from home.

 (a) Describe how a password-protected web site operates.

(b) Describe two IT features that a computer user would require to access or use this site.

(c) Explain how the new web site could improve student learning.

(d) This system may be a great advantage for students, but it may place teachers with limited IT skills under great pressure. Discuss the concerns of some teachers when they are asked to make this new resource available for the students.
