ICT and Home Economics

  • Use a digital camera so that pupils can take photos of the equipment they are using.  Later they can download the pictures and use them for labelling or for illustrating their work.
  • Take photos of pupils at each stage of the food preparation.  Use these for sequencing stages of the process.  They can be used with labels in matching activities or the pupils could write suitable captions.
  • Make cloze procedure computer exercises.  Leave spaces so that pupils can fill in gaps.  For less able make these with text boxes so that pupils don’t have to re-space words.  Missing words can be made available in movable text boxes at bottom of sheet so that they can be dragged into position if required.
