  2. Alton towers Advantages it is highly related to ICT and will show an extensive range of different ICT skills. Disadvantages it will cost a lot of money for transport costs, and the time taken to travel will also be long which will bore students Initial ideas The following page contains a variety of initial ideas we had for the year 13 trip. Those highlighted in orange represent trips which maybe considered, those in red show trips which we no longer consider appropriate or possible Gadget show Advantages • offers the students an excitable day out which is heavily related to ICT. If possible they could cover aspects of an ICT which you wouldn't in a usual lesson • Disadvantages • people may be distracted by the gadgets and may not understand the complex use of ICT because they haven't covered this in a lesson before. Limited time period to visit Loughborough race day and university Advantages Offers a real experience of university and an opportunity to develop the knowledge of mechanical engineering beyond the level of CGSE. Also shows the ICT side of the automotive business Disadvantages may cost a large sum of money to visit the Loughborough race track, and still unsure whether or not they offer an open day . May cover the more engineering side of design not the ICT side RAF base Advantages • offers students who are looking to work in the RAF an opportunity to experience the RAF lifestyle. Relates to ICT to an extent in terms of the engineering side of the planes • Disadvantages • for people uninterested in the RAF, the day may be boring and there is no guarantee that the open day will have any mention of ICT Alton towers Advantages its offers a fun day out Disadvantages It is no way related to ICT and the students will gain no knowledge during the trip

  3. Chosen idea ICT in the World of Sport(olympic Park) Date: 10th May 2012 Time: 8:30am-8:00pm (approx) Price: approximately £25 per student (inc travel)Location/duration: Olympic Park London/1 Day Why: Gives the students the chance to view the Olympic Park and to see the opportunities and the impacts that the Olympics is creating for the area of East London.An interactive workshop will be available to the students. The areas of study include the role of ICT in promoting the Olympics (media), the delivery of major sporting events, social networking, the impacts of the increased use of technology, how ICT can be used to solve problems and how ICT is used in the construction of Olympic facilities and how this is monitored.Relevance: The fact that the Olympics is happening in less than 100 days makes this subject a modern topic. The currentness of the Olympics will attract interest in the students and the create a sense of patriotism. The students will feel like they should be involved in the Olympics as it's part of their national pride. Learning about the ways in which ICT is used to promote and manage the Olympics combines perfectly and is educational as it acts as a realistic topic and the successfulness of the Olympics can be judged after its occurrence. ICT comes in many forms such as the golden triangle which interlinks the media, sport and sponsorship. The Olympics will run on ICT such as TV rights and specialist technology. For example hawk eye is used during the tennis to deter if the ball is in or out. Replays are also used during athletics such as in sprinting events to slow the footage down to see who crosses the line first. The trip to London will educate the students and therefore make them realise how important ICT is in sport.

The route taken is mainly off the road, much of it along a tow path in the former industrial Lower Lea valley. There are excellent views of the Olympic stadium and other 2012 constructions, such as the Aquatics Centre and The Orbit. Hopefully they may cover some of the design aspects of the stadium in relation to ICT • Duration: 2 hours maximum. The route is approximately one and a half to two miles long, finishing overlooking the Olympic Park. The terrain is mainly flat but can be muddy and there are ruts and bumps along the way. • Guides: All guides are London Blue Badge Tourist guides. • Weather: The tour will run, whatever the weather. Please note: throughout the tour students will be open to asking questions at any time Attire/equipment Students are advised to bring a suitable form of footwear and possibly and change of footwear incase of bad conditions. Also coats (waterproofs) are required in order to take place in the walk. Lastly students will need to take a bag to carry potentially dirty clothes in for the return home.

  6. Transport This trip will take place over the duration of one day. The location of the attraction is in London therefore in terms of transport we may consider using a coach because of the amount of students visiting the attraction will be high therefore for safety reason we would want to keep the students together. the coach we have chosen is for hire from Swiftsure travel the coach can hold up to 34 passengers easily enough to hold the students and is equipt with multiple additives to keep the students entertained and safe throughout the journey. Average costs- to find the cost of hiring the coach for the day call the number at the bottom. Estimating a fee of around £10-15 per student.
