ICT Resources

Checklist designed to support delivery of Gateway's EDSQ (Essential Digital Skills Qualification) E3 and L1. This list allows learners, and staff, to rate their confidence with each element of the qualification at each unit (1-5). 

Editor's notes

An essential piece of kit for those embarking on EDS teaching. Love the 4 tier "traffic light" system. Written for Gateway but useful for all awarding bodies.

Useful handout that clearly explains the principles of backing up files. Includes information on hardware, software and how to back up data.

Useful illustrated handout that clearly explains the principles of basic file management: how to create new folders and how to rename them.

A great set of resources for all levels from E1-L2. Includes information and worksheets, card / matching games and an IT drawing exercise.
Functional skills mapping and minor corrections made – August 2011.

A great way to give a start- of-course overview of skills covered in word processing. 16 slides cover formatting and aligning text; copying, cutting and pasting; tabs; bullets; clip art; headers and footers; page layout and more!

Covers sending, receiving, attachments and viruses. Designed for students using Postmaster but easy to insert your own screen shots if needed.
