Remember these presentations are designed to introduce and illustrate topics They have less space than a text book to give detailed information. The ORCA. VT characters however are able to give extra guidance and detail It is very important to preview the presentation to find out what each slide character has to offer and whether the content is appropriate to the class These Child development slides are designed for GCSE students Sometimes (as with the thumbnail slide in the corner) a question may be set for the class The VT character here will provide an answer but in this case will also provide extra information for which the slides do not have room Click on the icon in the corner of the thumbnail to see this extra information © ORCA Education Limited 2004 and suppliers all rights reserved

Making. Change s q q q q The Mother’s Health q One reason why you purchased this q product was to be able to adapt a ready made product to your student’s needs Before you start you may want to make a q copy of the Power. Point file q To change the text boxes choose view and q then normal and now you will have a slide to amend. Insert your cursor and retype q Be careful if you change graphics because some slides are complex The mother needs to look after herself as well as the new baby At 6 weeks after the birth she will have a post-natal examination to check her health and whether the uterus has gone back to its normal size She may be feeling very tired from caring for the baby day and night. She may have the “baby blues” from tiredness and hormone changes Sometimes women will get post natal depression which can be a long term problem Why is it important that the whole family is aware of these problems? To print for OHP choose File, then Print, on print what, choose slides You can change what the VT characters say. We have put some of the simpler visual basic scripting on the notes page (go to View, then Notes Page) you can try changing what they say. Do not change the visual basic symbols as they are providing instructions to the computer You may find that a particular character is not clear on your computer in which case by going to the notes page you can change the first instruction line to use a new character e. g. change SHOW susan, susan. acs, 80, 68 to SHOW tom, tom. acs, 80, 68 when you next click on the icon Tom will deliver the script instead of Susan © ORCA Education Limited 2004 and suppliers all rights reserved

Tips q q q q q If you have a low specification computer you may find that the slides are slow to load Normally Power. Point loads everything it needs when you first start the programme Removing some of the large high quality animations can help if an individual slide is slow to load or if the VT character has long pauses The Home Environment and the Child The home environment is the ideal place to provide opportunities and facilities for the development of the child. What should it provide? Space to play with toys and where mess can be easily cleaned from floors and furniture The child’s”own” place. A bedroom or part of a room where the child can store his or her things Space to display work, pictures and posters A place to invite friends A chance to get together as a family e. g. for a meal and have parents to spend time with the child A place for praise and encouragement Somewhere to help and feel valued q q q q q Can you think of more and why are these things important? To keep the slide in a logical sequence you should call up the VT character after the bullet points. If you run on to the next slide just click the left arrow on your keyboard and this will take you back Be selective how you use the VT characters. If you use all the features including class discussion you may well overrun the lesson You can of course split the presentations or even just use a particular slide To choose just one slide start the presentation then type the slide number and press enter The text in the speech bubbles is designed for students on private study using a stand alone computer and may be too small from the back of the class Make sure you have connected the sound cable to your projector © ORCA Education Limited 2004 and suppliers all rights reserved
