Resource Bank
A series of online resources are available in presentation
template form, which for a small fee may be acquired by schools for
internal use when planning INSET days and other professional
development initiatives. Each template is provided with separate
guidelines for the presenter along with useful advice on planning
and presenting to staff, students and parents. The aim of these
resources is to provide support to schools while avoiding both the
need to hire visiting speakers and the expense of related flights,
hotels, meals, etc..
The following resources are available and may be acqired from ormondfannon@gmail.com.
Resource templates are provided digitally in "open format" in
either MSPowerPoint; MSPublisher or MSWord format, thus allowing
them to be customised by the school according to each school's
specific character and needs.
Optional design service: Schools wishing to
acquire pre-customised resources should contact Ormond Fannon (see
Contacts page) in order to identify needs. An additional charge may
be made for this service.
ICT DEVELOPMENT: STUDENT/PARENT GUIDE
A sample handbook for schools preparing to introduce student
laptop programmes.
Many International Schools are now introducing plans by which
students
acquire their own laptops while the school provide the
infrastructure for their
usage. Such initiatives support the one-to-one availability of ICT
access while saving considerable expense for the school by
transferring both cost of hardware and responsibility for upkeep to
the student.
This handy template, which can be adapted to the needs of most
international
schools, provides students and parents with an introduction to the
laptop
programme, structure, rules and procedures. It also contains
valuable
information on the responsible use of ICT both in and out of the
classroom.
Contents:
• MS Powerpoint presentation for use when introducing the
plan.
• The Guide in MS Publisher file format which can be printed out
in
booklet form.
• An introductory and explanatory letter to parents
(to accompany the guide)
Schools may adapt any or all of the above documents to
their own school needs.
Price: 500.00€ Download immediately
