Inclusive Education in Action - www.inclusive-education-in-action.org Create a Graph Classic - Bar Graph - NCES Kids' Zone There are all kinds of charts and graphs, some are easy to understand while others can be pretty tricky. There are many different types because each one has a fairly specific use. Bar graphs can be used to show how something changes over time or to compare items. They have an x-axis (horizontal) and a y-axis (vertical). Typically, the x-axis has numbers for the time period or what is being measured, and the y-axis has numbers for the amount of stuff being measured. An example using real education data would be if you wanted to show the most popular bachelor's degrees (business, education, etc.) that students received in college in a given year. You are now ready to create your own bar graph... Click Here To Create a Bar Graph

SEN - Special Education Needs Some pupils in your class may have problems in accessing the curriculum due to learning difficulties with reading, writing, spelling or numeracy, visual or hearing problems, emotional or behavioural problems. I.C.T. can, in many cases, help to alleviate the problems. For pupils who find handwriting difficult or impossible the use of a keyboard might enable them to record their work for easily. Speech to text software is readily available now and has a high rate of accuracy. Pupils with visual problems can be helped through the use of different coloured screens and fonts; icons and screen menus can be enlarged to suit. For those with co-ordination difficulties, mouse speed and number of clicks to open a document can be varied as can the use of the mouse for left handed people. Software programs often come with facilities whereby teachers can set different levels for each pupil. Use Power Point presentations to help concentration. Becta booklets supported by video case studies.
LTTC Student ePortfolio @ HKIEd With the key objectives of nurturing engaged and reflective learners, ePortfolio is implemented to offer a platform for students to manage, monitor and reflect upon their own learning during their study at HKIEd. Students are required to use ePortfolio to document their formal and informal learning experiences in General Education, Language Enhancement, Co-curricular Learning and Overseas Exchange Opportunities. Students who are enrolled in teacher education programmes would also use ePortfolio for their Field Experience. Building the ePortfolio provides students with opportunities to consolidate and internalize the knowledge and skills acquired in the learning activities. We have created the resources below and hope that this page can facilitate students and tutors in creating their ePortfolio pages. Student ePortfolios Resources
