- FEATURES
-
-
- Navigation and Information Buttons
-
- A number of navigation buttons are used to help students chart their own
- path through the learning material.
-
- Most sections include at least two routes to the information. Students are
- encouraged to interact with the computer either by using on-screen buttons
- or by clicking on objects within graphics. Technical words concerning the
- topic are highlighted in red in the text. Clicking on these provides a
- glossary definition of the word.
-
- The Castle Data Section
-
- As indicated above, the Castle Data section contains a further range of
- resources. The photographs and drawings in the application are available in
- database format, to help students and teachers find resources without having
- to search for them within the other sections.
-
- The main Castles of the British Isles datafile can be viewed from within the
- presentation, but can also be viewed within either the KEY PLUS or KEYNOTE
- database systems. If these are available, a further range of investigation
- becomes possible.
-
- The Tool Box
-
- This contains 'Find Text', which searches for specific words or letters, and
- 'Notepad' which allows users to make notes which can be saved out to disc.
- The 'save' option will automatically be offered when quitting the
- application.
-
- Saving Other Objects
-
- Students can also save out any text and picture resources from the CD ROM.
-
- For further details consult the CD booklet.

- IDEAS FOR USING THIS APPLICATION
-
-
- The Teacher's Resources unit within the Castle Data section on the CD ROM
- provides many ideas for classroom use.
-
- Worksheets are provided to reinforce both history and IT skills and concepts.
- For example, spreadsheet activities are provided to help students make sense
- of the cost of building and running a castle. Other worksheets provide
- activities away from the computer including source material exercises and a
- board game. A classroom ideas database also provides starting points for
- teachers to develop their own activities. The activity sheets are held in a
- directory called ACTSHTS in the RESRCES directory. They are also available
- from within the program on the Archimedes.
-
- Access to the Castles of the British Isles database is available in KEY PLUS
- format. Running the datafile in KEY PLUS provides additional fields and
- functionality. For example, students can search for different types of
- castle and plot them onto the map of the British Isles provided on the CD
- ROM. For users with KEY PLUS 3.0, a set of mapping symbols is also
- provided to add extra flair to the finished map. Worksheets within the
- Teacher's Resources unit are provided to help with the use of the datafile
- in Key Plus.
-
- KEY PLUS and KEYNOTE are not provided on this CD ROM but can be purchased
- separately. KEY PLUS is recommended for Secondary schools and KEYNOTE for
- Primary schools. Contact SCA (Anglia) at the address above.
