Introduction
Organise, store, manipulate and retrieve data in a range of digital formats (assume data includes information).
Self study resources
Ian Addisons' s page on Research - lesson plans, progression and more.
Example of how a free blog can be used as a type of learning platform for young children - a class 'workbook'. It provides the opportunity for them to retrieve data safely, when an internet search is not an option (due to content risk)
Resources for lectures or group study
Resources for use with pupils
Infant Encylopedia: a collection of websites and resources linked to over 20 curriculum topics. Each topic has about 10-20 illustrated pages with short pieces of text in a large font, with key words and facts highlighted, together with a number of related interactive activities and videos. Information can be searched by key word or topic. The option to hear the text read aloud is a fantastic addition, making it possible for children with reading difficulties to carry out their own research.
