People have asked how to use this site with students since there is too much choice in certain sections. I am reluctant to rank sites as I don't feel I have the cheek (or even expertise) to do so! Below are some suggestions though- they are NOT model ideas!
General Use:
Extension research for a particular profession/ issue (e.g. Gap Year safety) via a specific set of sites.
A series of tutor lessons/ assemblies on each of the 5 main sections of the Webwatch- this works well for a full L6th/ Year 12 group or tutor set.
An A4 sheet or 2 listing the main sites you like or use, using as many or as few sections as you wish. [Pocket Webwatch]
For PSHE, you might want to investigate the sites in the Lifestyle- Adolescent Angst/ Campaigns, Charities and Issues sections.
Use 'Woody's Webwatch' as a hyperlink to complement your own targeted Careers site or select a few sites for links from your own pages.
A 5-10 minute 'Woody's Webwatch' assembly.
A presentation to 6th Form Tutors or Parents- you could put this together very easily: 10 min PowerPoint intro, 30- 40 mins surfing, 10 min feedback session. [I'm happy to help on this or even deliver it if you want Woody live in your school or college!]
Specific Sites:
Extension research for a particular profession/ issue via a specific site (or 2).
Key sites earmarked to enable individual students to stand out.
How do you use it? Let me know! Any work sheets you want to share would be most welcome too!
