ICT in the home economics classroom

This webinar provided teachers with a range of ideas for using ICT in the classroom. The session focused on ways to use Excel spreadsheets to gather data for a range of sensory evaluation activities. In addition, participants were provided with other ideas for simple and easy-to-use resources for the home economics classroom such as apps, software or web 2.0 tools, with specific links to teaching and learning activities for home economics. The webinar was designed for teachers to take ideas away to use in their own classrooms.
