Embedding ICT across the curriculum

History and ICT

Pupils can use ICT to support a wide range of learning activities that focus on gathering information and sharing what they learned with others. These activities include:

• Writing letters, diary extracts and short stories
• Listen to and composing their own songs about past events
• Using web conferencing ( FlashMeeting) to interview evacuees and “hot-seat” famous characters
• Photographing  artefacts from the period
• Adding their own commentaries to news films from the period
• Using  Digital Video to create short animations and re-tell past events
