This morning, during a meeting with a colleague we were reviewing the teaching resources for OCR Unit 1. A business unit covering most business ICT tasks. In addition to the two earlier Microsoft Office 2010 resources we found two impressive sets of info documents.
The Overview document is ideal for a quick staff introduction, to stick on walls, and for leaving around the staff room and ICT classrooms – as well as for summarising the key points to help you to decide when you should consider upgrading your school computers.
The detailed Product Guide is really useful for preparing training materials, or handouts to staff (and students) when you are starting to deploy Office 2010. It may help to enthuse them to use some of the new things where Office will help in their lesson delivery – and to get them over the “Oh no, things have changed” reaction. Some of these Product Guides have more than 100 pages, so there’s no shortage of details. I also like the fact that they talk about new things that Office 2010 can do, and then show screen shots of the difference it makes.
I am confident these resources, or the content from these resources, will find their way into our OneNote worksheets for ICT OCR Nationals.
This looks great. Thanks for sharing Kristian. I’ll be using it as part of our transition before the summer hols. 🙂
