Researching the Technology • You will also have to give explanations of how the technologies which Kevin uses work. • You don’t have to give detailed explanations of the technology but make sure you explain, specifically, how they meet his special needs.
Also Take Into Account • You need to evaluate how well the ICT works for Kevin. • This means you have to say how well or poorly it works. • You may boost your marks by researching and noting alternative technologies that could be used.
Goals for the Day • By the end of the day you should have researched and recorded the technology which Kevin uses in three of the areas of his life. • Remember to try to include three categories of ICT for each aspect of his life. • Remember the deadline for this is September 17.
