e-Bug Children’s Pages • Discuss what students want from the website • Go over each of the website sections – Our ideas – What the students want – What you think • Discuss the new Website layout What Children want All students • Bright, colourful pages • Not too much text • Lots of pictures and images • Interactive Junior students • Easy information • Large text • Fun element • Easy to navigate Website Overview ideas Senior school home page 1. Student log on – we would not be collecting any information on students, this would solely be to allow them to keep scores and collect bonuses every time they return to the site thereby encouraging them to return 2. High ranking scores – on the home page we could have a section of high ranking scores, either by individual visitor or by country. This would add a competitive feel to the website and encourage visitors to return. 3. A thermal map of Europe showing how many people are online at that particular time point 4. FASCINATING FACTS - a bank of 104 fascinating facts that would change on a weekly basis allowing 2 years worth of facts Create your own avatar Students could create their own avatar to guide them through the various sections of the website, this avatar could potentially remind them of areas they have yet to visit, give them updates on how they can earn more bonuses and tell them when they have got answers wrong in the quiz or revision sections. Downloads SEM and EM photographs of various microbes and all pack artwork available for download Revision guide a set of interactive pages on each of the e-Bug topics for students. Students would be given the information in text and this would be followed up by an interactive activity Hall of Fame A photograph or cartoon drawing hall of fame of people in history who have made a positive contribution to science with background information and some interesting facts to make them more human Quiz a large bank of questions (perhaps 200) meaning that every time a student visits the website they get asked a different 20 questions. When they get a question wrong they would be given correct answer and an explanation by their avatar. The more they get right the higher their bonus bank would become. Games this is where you would connect to the e-Bug junior and senior games and any other games that may be developed in the future Disease fact files a set of fact cards on infectious diseases relevant to students Home science A set of activities that students could do at home to teach science e.g. Hand hygiene pepper activity Campaigns Facilities to provide information on European Antibiotic Awareness Day (EAAD) or Global hand washing day (GHD). Children’s Pages Home page • Student log on Allow students to keep scores and collect bonuses every time they return to the site thereby encouraging them to return • High ranking scores On the home page we could have a section of high ranking scores, either by individual visitor or by country. This would add a competitive feel to the website and encourage visitors to return. • A thermal map of Europe Illustrating how many people are online at that particular time point thereby emphasising the European feel of the website • Fascinating Facts A bank of 104 fascinating facts that would change on a weekly basis allowing 2 years worth of facts 1. Create your own avatar Create your own avatar Students could create their own avatar to guide them through the various sections of the website, this avatar could potentially remind them of areas they have yet to visit, give them updates on how they can earn more bonuses and tell them when they have got answers wrong in the quiz or revision sections. • Individualises the website for each student • Allows a sense of ownership • Encourages students to come back to site • Can be used to give bonuses i.e. Students can unlock more items of clothing as they earn more points in quizzes etc 1. Create your own avatar Ideas The avatar would always be at the bottom of the screen guiding them through the different sections of the website, encouraging them to visit sections they haven’t been to before The avatar could take the form of either 1. Amy, Harry and friends characters in the packs and allow students to choose clothing etc for them 2. Be one of the microbes in the packs acting as a guide, when you score more points you can upgrade or change your microbe 1. Create your own avatar Student Feedback Junior Schools Senior Schools • No, can’t be bothered logging in • Really liked the idea • Always forget my password • Would like a password hint in case I forget my password 1. Create your own avatar Your Thoughts Should it be human or a microbe? Should they be on the screen all the time or should students have the ability to close them down if they wanted? Any other thoughts? 2. Downloads Downloads SEM and EM photographs of various microbes and all pack artwork available for download • Photographs of the microbes brings microbiology to life to the students • Downloadable pack clipart helps reinforce classroom learning 2. Downloads Student Feedback In General • All groups of students liked the idea of downloads • Both ages really liked looking at the microbes photographs • Both ages thought that they would use the clip art in school projects • Junior school students thought that it might be a good idea to label the images with the correct names but also phonetically In your groups, how do you think 1. The section should look 1. Thumbnails b. List c. filmstrip 1. The section should be divided i.e. a. Photographs i. Bacteria / useful and harmful ii. Viruses iii. Fungi or all in one b. Clipart i. Characters ii. Microbes iii. Backgrounds 1. Can you think on places where we can access more images 3. Revision Guides Revision guide a set of interactive pages on each of the e-Bug topics for students. Students would be given the information in text and this would be followed up by an interactive activity Introduction to Microbes • Microbes are very small living organisms, they are so small we need a microscope to see them • There are three different types of microbes • •Viruses •Bacteria •Fungi They come in many different shapes and sizes Introduction to Microbes • Encourages learning from home • Place where students can go to find out more Viruses Viruses are the smallest of the microbes and can even live inside other microbes! Some viruses make us sick. Diseases like CHICKENPOX and the FLU are caused by viruses. Viruses can spread from one person to another but it depends on the type of virus. This virus is called Influenza (in-flu-en-za) and causes the flu • Helps with homework • Incentive for teachers to recommend the site to students • Each set of revision pages would be followed by an interactive online activity 3. Revision Guides Student Feedback In General • Very good idea • The text should be simple but certain words should be highlighted and you can click on these to find more information • The activities should be after the revision sections so that you do something AFTER you have learned about it • The activities should ALSO be in the games sections for students who have already done the revision sections and just want to play games In your groups, can you think on any simple web activities to reinforce these learning outcomes 1. Introduction to Microbes Will know that bacteria, viruses and fungi are three different types of microbe Will understand that microbes are found everywhere Will know that microbes come in different shapes and sizes 2. Good Microbes Will understand that some microbes can help keep us healthy Will know that some microbes can be put to good use 3. Harmful Microbes Will know that sometimes microbes can make us ill In your groups, can you think on any simple games to reinforce these learning outcomes 4. Respiratory Hygiene Will learn that infection can spread through sneezing and coughing Will understand that covering the mouth when sneezing or coughing can prevent the spread of infection Will know that coughing or sneezing in your hand can still spread infection 5. Hand Hygiene Will understand that infection can be spread through unclean hands Will know that hand washing can prevent the spread of infection 6. Food hygiene Microbes can be found on our food and can transfer to humans Cooking food properly can kill harmful microbes Bacteria multiply very quickly Refrigeration only stops microbes growing, it doesn’t kill them In your groups, can you think on any simple games to reinforce these learning outcomes 7. Sexually Transmitted Infections Will know that infection can be spread easily through sexual contact Will understand what they can do to protect themselves against STIs 8. Vaccines Vaccines help prevent a range of infections, including the flu There are not vaccines for all infection 9. Antibiotic Use Will understand that most common infections get better on their own through time, bed rest, liquid intake and healthy living Will understand that if antibiotics are taken, it is important to finish the course 4. Hall of Fame Hall of Fame People in history who have made a positive contribution to science with background information and some interesting facts to make them more human • The Louvre website • A literal hall of fame 4. Hall of Fame Student Feedback In General • Find the old microbiologists boring • They are not relevant to us today Junior schools Senior schools • Like the Louvre museum idea • Like the Hall of Fame idea • Want pictures and cartoons • Want to know about modern scientists too • Want interesting facts • Images should be caricatures which turn into the real photo when you scroll over them 4. Hall of Fame Ideas In your groups, can you think on 1. Interesting facts on any of the above 2. Anyone else who should be included 3. Any modern scientists 5. Quiz Quiz a large bank of questions (perhaps 200) meaning that every time a student visits the website they get asked a different 20 questions. When they get a question wrong they would be given correct answer and an explanation by their avatar. The more they get right the higher their bonus bank would become. • Students like competitive games • Testing themselves encourages learning • Points earned would go to their overall score and leadership rankings, bonus points could be achieved for getting all questions correct • Students can choose a select all set of questions or select questions by topic 5. Quizzes Student Feedback In General • Want to know the correct answers to the questions they got wrong • Prefer to choose a set of questions or a section to do, • There should be no more than 5 – 10 questions in a round Senior Students • Like the idea of bonus points if they get all the questions right Do you think that the quiz be based just on either • the learning outcomes • activities • should it be broader?? 6. Games • Current online games • All new online activities that will be created for the revision pages 7. Disease Fact Files Disease fact files a set of fact cards on infectious diseases relevant to students Lymphocryptovirus Influenza A The Epstein-Barr virus is a type of Lymphocryptovirus causing an illness known as the Kissing Disease or Glandular fever. Patients suffer from sore throats, swollen lymph glands, and extreme tiredness. The flu is an infection caused by Transmission requires close contact such as kissing or sharing drinks.Orthomyxoviridae. Every year 5 – Varicellovirus 40% of the population get the flu but most people recover completely in a couple of weeks. In 1918, before there were any vaccines for the flu, twenty million people were killed! Chickenpox is caused by the Varicella-Zoster virus. It is highly contagious although rarely serious and is spread through direct contact (or coughing and sneezing). Almost everyone caught chickenpox in their childhood prior to the discovery of the chickenpox vaccine. • Fact sheets relevant to students needs • Designed to reinforce the fact that microbes can cause disease • Emphasises the three different types of microbes 7. Disease Fact Files Student Feedback In General • Both age groups liked this idea • Wanted pictures of the microbes that caused the diseased and the symptoms they caused Junior schools • Asked if there could be a search function so that if they typed in sore throat they could get information on that quickly 7. Disease Fact Files Ideas Disease fact files Sexual Health Tropical's Chlamydia Gonorrhoea HPV HIV Herpes Syphilis Kissing Disease Sleeping Sickness Malaria Typhoid Fever Dysentry Infirmaries Maladies Bad breath Kissing Disease Ulcer Pimples Athlete’s foot Pneumonia MRSA C. difficle Common cold Flu Stomach Ache Ear ache Cough General health Leprosy Scurvy Plague Black Death, Ebola Flesh Eating Mad Cow Anthrax Gangrene Alimentary Salmonella E. coli Unusual Layout the diseases in a similar format to the card game in the senior pack In your groups, can you think on Calamities Ancients Bird Flu Swine Flu Divide diseases into categories for easy findings 1. Go through the list of disease on your table and discuss which are relevant for students 2. Can you think on any that are not on the list 8. Home / Kitchen Science Pepper Experiment Materials: Plate/bowl pepper water dish soap human finger • A set of experiments that students can do for their parents • Reinforces learning in the home environment • Pepper Experiment Can you think on any science experiments that students can do at home to help take the e-Bug key learning messages back to the family 9. Campaigns • Section of the website where you can highlight to schools and students information on what your country is doing for specific campaigns Thank you
