B. works in an Adult Community
Centre and has access to a PC
with Internet connection. During
her preparation time she is
researching the Internet and
finds 'Money Matters to Me'.
Her next class is planned to
be on different kinds of incomes
and B. would like to prepare
some handouts for her class.
She would prefer to use the
Internet with her class but
there is no access in the centre
to do so. B. is delighted when
she finds out that it is possible
to download content from 'Money
Matters to Me'.
In the
download
section she finds the section
'Where money comes from', which
covers the different sources
of income. She downloads the
file and when she looks at it
she decides that she doesn't
only like the content of the
site but also the visuals because
they help breaking up a dense
body of information. She finds
it very useful to create her
own handouts. These downloadable
files are free to use in an
educational context. B. cuts
and pastes the content a little
bit so the content matches the
content of her session and hands
out the material during the
end of the class, so her learners
can take them home and read
them again.

Don't re-invent
the wheel- use existing resources
If you can't
use the Internet in your classes
you can use it for your own
preparation of printed materials.
TIP: Remember,
you can usually find lots of useful information from
other tutors and practitioners in the Forum.
If you have any ideas, links or files you want to
share then the forum is the place to post them.
