An innovation within an innovation! The teacher
receives a CD (or can access it on the Net) one
days training. The CD outlines in full an entire
project on deciding which of the 2 franchise
businesses is the most viable. The CD contains
pupil teacher resource material, assessment
rubrics, instructions, voice-over visual
tutorials. The pupils are divided into 2 teams
and each team, (after due research) has to
prepare a marketing presentation (PPoint, movie,
stop-frame animation, photostory etc any
digital format) which the class assesses. Final
winners go forward to the regional competition
and so on until an international winner is
identified. Prizes training are sponsored.
These provide the impetus for teachers pupils
engage , hopefully, allow them to win ( use)
more technology.
