What are the animated tutorials - how do they work?
Welcome to the Dreamweaver animations website of theteacher.info Ltd.
With two and a half hours of professionally produced animations, we aim to at last make Dreamweaver easy to teach for all teachers and easy to learn for all pupils. Put our high-quality, structured set of animations onto your Intranet. Your pupils can then open up a menu of tutorials from any PC on your network with speakers or a set of headphones and away they go! They watch as we build a complete website from the very beginning, right in front of them. They see exactly what to do and how to do it. They see every click, menu selection, mouse movement and action taken by the web designer on the screen. As they watch, they also hear a comprehensive explanation of what is happening.
What do pupils make?
All pupils will make a complete website from scratch. They will construct a website for an imaginary company that sells photographs online. We provide all the photos they need for this project but there are opportunities for your pupils to use their own photographs and edit and resize them if they so wish.
We have designed the tasks in a structured way to ensure that students first repeat the things they have learnt and then build on them, without being overwhelmed. This is not a set of unconnected 'how-to' lessons but a block of work thought through by an experienced Head of ICT.
Our main consideration has been to ensure that all pupils successfully build the website so we have tried very hard to avoid those things in Dreamweaver which are less than reliable, behave strangely or are too complex for KS3 and KS4 pupils! We also encourage pupils to help themselves when they have a problem in Dreamweaver.
What courses will this set of animated lessons cover?
These animated lessons have been used with year 6 during secondary - junior school partnership lessons. They've been used for Unit 9 of the KS3 strategy. They cover units in the OCR Nationals, DiDA, IMedia, BTEC and other vocational-based courses. They've also been used to add interest to GCSE and A Level courses - pupils can learn quickly how to make a website and then use that medium to make notes for topics they cover.
Key benefits:
| * |
Non-ICT teachers can confidently teach web design because the expert web designer is the one doing all the talking and demonstrating on-screen for them!
|
| * |
Pupils really can work at their own pace in class now. The faster ones can motor ahead without waiting for anyone else to catch up. Students who need to spend more time on a task or who want to watch a demonstration again can.
|
| * |
Totally accessible to pupils with poor reading skills. The tasks are about listening and watching. Because all pupils can access the lesson, there is less disruption and teachers have more time to help those in class who really need it.
|
| * |
Ideal for pupils with poor concentration skills. We have seen extraordinary output from pupils who aren't normally known for producing focused work. Our animations highly motivate students!
|
| * |
Because these animations are on your Intranet, it is quick and easy now to set cover lessons. It doesn't matter what the skill level of the cover teacher is!
|
| * |
Perfect for pupils who have missed lessons - they can catch up in their own time without you having to repeat lessons just for them!
|
| * |
Encourages pupils to take charge of their own learning. Show them how to get started using the animations in an IT club and then let them get on with it.
|
| * |
Teachers can now learn Dreamweaver themselves! This is an ideal INSET opportunity.
