Rules
of the game
Each week there will be questions put on the internet for
you to answer. Send the answers to us by E-mail to beat the
weekly deadline of 12.00 p.m on Friday. For each correct answer,
you will get a point, and at the end of 6 weeks, the school
with the most points wins a class trip to @Bristol.
How to use the internet to find
the answers
Sometimes it can be very difficult to find what you need
on the web, because it contains so much information. To help
you find what you are looking for, you can use a 'search engine'.
These are websites that contain lists of other websites on
the web. They can't possibly make a list of all the millions
of sites on the web, so if you don't find what you are looking
for on one, try another. Top of Page
How to use a search engine
First, type in the web address of the seach engine into your
browser. Some good ones are Yahoo, Lycos, Altavista and Ask
Jeeves. Then type what you are looking for into the box at
the top of the page, and click on 'search' (or press <enter>.)
The words you type in are very important so choose them carefully.
A list of websites to do with what you typed in appear, along
with a description. Just click on one to go there. If you
don't find what you are looking for, try chaging the words
you type in, or use another search engine. Top of Page
Details of the multimedia
task
Your task is to create a cartoon strip, using digital cameras
and the computers. It has to be based around a learning activitiy
within your school, eg. a games lesson, a science experiment
or an IT lesson. You can use Word or Powerpoint on the computers
to add speech bubbles, thought bubbles and words to your pictures.
If you want help with your cartoon, contact us and we will
arrange support. When you have finished your cartoon after
the six weeks, send it to us on a floppy disk, a zip disk,
or by E-mail. You can also send it to us as a hard copy that
we will scan in. Top of Page
How to set up an E-mail address and
send your answers to us
You need an E-mail address so that you can send your answers
to us. You may already have an E-mail address (ask your teacher),
but if you don't you can get one from Hotmail.com. This will
give you a place on the internet that people can send E-mails
to, and you can get them by logging on to the site and downloading
them. You can also use it to send your own E-mails to other
people, and your answers to us.
To set up your E-mail address, go to Hotmail.com, and click
on 'sign up now!' at the top of the page. Enter your personal
information into the 'Profile Information' and scroll down.
In the 'sign-up name' box, enter the email address you want
(something@hotmail.com). This will be you email address and
your login name. Then type the password you want to use in
the 'password' box, then type it again in the 're-type password'
box. In the 'secret question' box, type in a question that
will be asked if you forget your password (eg. the name of
my cat, the number of my house etc.) and then underneath,
type the answer. Then click sign up, and you are done. To
send your answers to us, click 'new message', type in our
E-mail address into the E-mail address box, and then the question
and your answer into the main area. Click 'send'.
