In todays ICT lesson I worked on my Digital Divide. I have focused on different aspects which include;

• The impacts of the digital divide
• Who does it affect?
• How can we atckle the digital divide both potically and pratically?

In the next lesson I need to focus on the following;

• Is it changing, is the gap growing or shrinking?
• Statistical Data about the divide
• How does it affect certain people?

I think I should have the digital divide finished by the deadline on 25/11/11

18/11/2011

Today in ICT, I have finished pasting all of my information on the topics, (Information age and Online Services) on to my E-Book. I still need to fix a couple of minor problems which link some pages to another. I have also got to fix a few problems with the colour of the text. next lesson I need to add my digital divide information to my E-Book.

Adding to my E-Book

Today in ICT, I added links to my homepage so that everypage I have done so far link to each other. I have also added some text to some of the pages I have created. I have also cretaed a banner.

Using a new programme

Today in ICT, we used a program Camtasia Studio. This recorded what we were doing on the screen and captured it.
I also did more work to my E-Book. I added some buttons and designed and updated my logo.
I also re-structured my E-Book plan to make it more detailed and thourough.

Creating Our E-Book

Today in ICT I started to produce my e-Book. I looked at my plan to give me guidance. I created a logo which will go on every page of my e-Book and I also created a colour scheme and started a couple of links.

What makes a good eBook?

Today I have learnt about the different things that are needed to obtain a mark band 3 grade. To get into a mark band 3 grade my eBook must include; SoAP and Awareness shown for the accsessibility of other browsers.
Some other things that are important to remember while creating an eBook are;

• Readable fonts
• Consistency
• Good use of multimedia
• Little if any scrolling
• Attractive colour scheme
• Easy to use navigation and links
• Optimized for 1024x768
• Carefully considered amount of text

In today's lesson we have taken a mark band 1 eBook and tried to improve it so that it is a Mark band 3 piece.
I have also learnt that it is important to concentrate opn the information that is put in the eBook as it can be sometimes confusing.
I might struggle on the use of multimedia I will use. This is because the of the quality of the multimedia might not be consistant. I might do well on creating an attractive colour scheme and background to my eBook.
