2. Collecting Information For the Task

Key Skill 1

Find different types of information from IT sources and non-IT sources

  • You will need to find information that can go in your into your presentation.  The information that you need to find needs to include both pictures and text.  You need to get these from newspapers, magazines, Internet and from clipart.
  • Collect a large range of information including some that you might not use for the book.

Key Skill 13

Identify suitable sources of information

  • To get this mark you will need to search for some information - for example, an Internet search, clipart or searching a CD-ROM encyclopaedia.
  • You must have identified the information you need:

Example 1

I need to find a picture suitable for my front cover/home page

  • and two different sources which would provide this information:

Example 2. I can get this information from the Internet –website address or from Clipart – eg. The MS Word Clipart Gallery

  • You then need to search these two sources for graphics etc.  You need to include a screenshot of the search and a screenshot of the picture/text that you have found that you are going to use.  Make sure that you do actually use this picture or text in your work.

Key Skill 14 and 17

14: Search for information using multiple criteria

17: Explore information as needed for your purpose

  • Search for information using multiple criteria in the browser search engine:

  • Make sure that you include a screenshot of the search AFTER you have run it and then actually select one of the sites it has found, go into it and get a screenshot of it.

  • You must print out at least two of the web sites that you find and you will need to use a picture/text from one of the sites in your presentation.

  • You need to say why the picture/text you have found is needed for the presentation:

Example 1. 

The picture of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is bright and is what my story is about.  The children will be able to get a good idea what the book is about by looking at the picture on the front cover.

Example 1

I am not going to use this picture because it shows the Australian team more than the Pakistani team and that is not what my site is about.
