Reflection on Session 1

K: What I already KNOW
  • ICT for meaningful learning is basically the use of information and communication technological tools in teaching to deliver more effective, creative and innovative lessons.
  • There has been conscientious efforts to incorporate ICT in schools.
W: What I WANT TO LEARN
  • To what extent has ICT been integrated in schools and how receptive are teachers and students to these efforts?
  • What are the different types of ICT tools that can be incorporated into teaching to enhance lessons?
  • Are there any particular teaching strategies that are crucial in integrating ICT in everyday lessons?

L: What I LEARNED this week

  • ICT is not just about acquiring technological skills that would aid teaching but learning how to incorporate these skills in everyday teaching to deliver effective lessons, enhance communication between students and teachers and maximize the use of ICT.
  • Self-directed learning (in which individuals take the initiative in the learning process) and collaborative learning (in which individuals work together to achieve shared goals) are the key drivers of the third masterplan.
  • Computer applications can be integrated into teaching as either a tutor or a tool depending on its function and how it is used by the teacher.
  • The effectiveness of the lesson which uses ICT is dependent on the pedagogical and social affordances whereas the extent to which ICT can be integrated in lessons depends on the technological affordances.
Q: What QUESTIONS I still have
  • How are teachers and students responding to the integration of ICT in schools?
  • What are the different types of ICT tools available and how can they be accessed?
