Introduction

You have been accepted on ‘The Apprentice Show’ run by Mr Slough in Small Heath School. Mr Slough needs an Apprentice to join him in achieving and improving the best for Small Heath School. If you win you will be given a ‘Life Time Achievement Award’ and will work closely with Mr Slough through out your School Career.

To show your excellence you will need to complete this Project to the best of your ability in order to become the Apprentice of Mr Slough.

1.1 I can identify the advantages of using IT for the task.

Task 1

Three English rooms in Upper School need a re-vamp. It would be a good idea to make a plan of this using the ‘Insert Shapes Menu’ in Microsoft Word.

A new setting would need to be created. Taking your role as a ‘Mini Architect’ you will need to look at the shapes menu below:

Task 2

You need to write an email to Miss Page about the new plans for the English department. Fill in the box below, saying what things you have to do before you email or post the letter:

|Sending an Email to Miss Page |Writing a Letter to Miss Page |

|Click on the internet and let the web page upload then you click |Put the letter in the envelope and glue together put an address |

|on resources, then on email. Log in on your email account and |and stamp. Deliver to post office and wait till the letter |

|email the letter. |arrives. could take days. |

Which statement applies to the above:

Now answer which one is better and why?

Email is better because you can correct any spelling mistakes and make the letter look according to what you like. Then when you email the letter the email reaches to the person you sent it to straight away. You press send and its there. You can attach things and send the same email to hundreds of people at the same time instantly.

Task 3 – Copy and Paste or Using a Pen and Paper

OR

Copy and Paste the text below:

Small Heath School and Sixth Form Centre

Small Heath School and Sixth Form Centre

Why is Copy and Paste better then using a Pen and Paper?

When you copy and paste you save yourself time. You can’t correct spelling mistakes without making it look scruffy on paper. On copy and past everything is exactly the same. The size, shape, letters and the color.

Task 4

Create a Plan for the English room using the ‘insert shapes’ menu. An example of the old English room plan is below:

The New English room Plan:

Create a new plan using the items on the right;

1.2 I can plan how to complete the task using appropriate IT systems and software.

Task 5 – How easy/hard was it to create the Plan

You need to write a brief description of how easy/difficult you found it when creating your plan:

It was easy to create the plan because all the shapes and letters were all ready there and all I had to do was place the way I wanted it to look like. : )

Task 6 – Someone needs to give Feedback

Someone will need to give feedback on the plan you have created below:

What they think of your Plan:

Very good and simple. Not complicated.

Task 3 – What will you do to improve

Looking at the feedback, how will you improve your Plan?

I could change the color of the desk…
