 LightBytes plus consists of a fully interactive PC program integrated with support materials and is a completely revised and updated version of the original LightBytes program adopted by many schools across the UK.
LightBytes plus incorporates many new features and now includes a full sound option, user-friendly screen layout, attractive graphics and lively animation. The graphics and interactive program are guaranteed to hold students’ interest whilst the full sound option will benefit those slow or younger readers. LightBytes plus allows students to learn at their own pace and is divided into 8 modular units covering a complete range of ICT skills, - Word processing, Keyboard and mouse skills, introduction to the hardware, databases, spreadsheets, graphics programs, the Internet and e-mails. Each unit is carefully structured to give hands-on examples of the application or procedure and includes guidance to keep students focused on the correct learning path. At the end of each unit, there is a test to check students’ understanding of the subject covered. The focus is on ‘Fun’ learning throughout, with a simple, easy to follow structured course, where capabilities and knowledge are built progressively and are checked using frequent checkpoints and tests. LightBytes plus will help students working on the QCA Programme of Study for ICT in England and the 5-14 National Guidelines in ICT in Scotland. After studying LightBytes plus, children will be able to approach all aspects of working with computers in schools and at home with confidence. The units can be purchased separately or as a total teaching ICT teaching package. The full version program comes fully integrated with support materials which include a comprehensive Teacher’s guide, colourful Student textbook and photocopy master worksheets – a complete teaching tool that teachers can pick up and start using straight away, saving the teacher hours of preparation time. |
