Submit the files electronically Edulink, using the file name that is given with each assessment task. In all cases sources should be referenced. Additional marks are allocated for original work, or work that references sources that were found elsewhere than the sources included in the study materials. Present your work neatly. Avoid technical, grammar, spelling and typing errors Due date: Week ending 30 April 2009 in Edulink: 04ECS001 Content Using Drawing tools, create a graphical representation of how Forcier (1999) classifies the use of computers in education

Computer Skill Word Processor: • Text entry • Drawing tools • Saving files Save the file as your student number followed by _01. e.g. 200912345_01 Forcier (1999) says that computers may be used for teaching and learning. Simonson and Thompson (1997) explain how Word Processors may be used for teaching writing.
