AEW Life Skills in the Community - ICT Neil Dougherty Centre

This year, Diwali will be celebrated on Monday 20th October. AEW Life Skills ICT Students at the Neil Dougherty Centre have been using and developing their ICT skills to discover facts about Diwali. 
First, they used Microsoft Teams to post Diwali greetings to each other on the Class Page. 
Then, they found their Assignments on Teams, which included a Diwali Research Task and a Diwali PowerPoint challenge, where they had to format text and insert pictures and videos into a template. They discovered that: 
• The word Diwali means 'rows of lighted lamps'.
• It is celebrated by Hindu people across the world.
• Diwali is known as the 'festival of lights' because houses, shops and public places are decorated with small oil lamps called 'diyas'.
• Diwali is also celebrated in Sikhism and Jainism.
• Diwali always falls some time between October and November, but the exact date varies each year as the Hindu calendar is based on the Moon.
The students also completed online Diwali puzzles, games, quizzes and watched information videos, further developing their digital skills.

Well done to the students for their excellent work today.
