EDT201- ICT in Teaching and Learning

  Design lesson plan for primary children using the TPACK model integration. The TPACK framework offers a powerful lens for educators to examine the knowledge they bring to integrating technology effectively in the classroom. TPACK stands for Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge, highlighting the key areas where knowledge intersects: Technological Knowledge (TK): Understanding the capabilities and limitations of various technologies. Pedagogical Knowledge (PK): Knowing different teaching methods and how to best use them. Content Knowledge (CK): Mastery of the subject matter being taught Simply knowing technology or good teaching practices isn't enough for impactful technology integration. TPACK emphasizes the crucial intersection. Teachers who understand how technology can enhance specific teaching methods for a particular subject area can design truly transformative learning experiences. Effective technology integration isn't about using the latest app; it...

  Design lesson plan for primary children with two levels of ICT using the SAMR model integration. The SAMR model provides a valuable framework for educators to think critically about integrating technology into their lessons. It stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition, representing a progression in how deeply technology transforms learning experiences. SAMR helps us move beyond simply replacing low-tech tools with digital ones. It encourages us to leverage technology's unique capabilities to create richer, more engaging, and effective learning opportunities. Teachers play a central role in using SAMR effectively. They need to understand the different levels and thoughtfully select technologies that truly enhance learning objectives. This might involve using technology to allow students to collaborate on projects across borders (Modification), or even having students create their own interactive simulations (Redefinition). The SAMR model can be used fo...

Today we were oriented on using PhET simulation. PhET simulations are the interactive educational tools that help you learn various scientific concepts through virtual experiments and simulations. They cover a wide rage of subjects like physics, chemistry, math, social studies and more.  They are great way to enhance understanding. PhET simulation are fantastic learning tool because it makes learning come into live. They allow you to explore and experiment with different concepts in a safe and interactive virtual environment. Whether you're visualizing the motion pf molecules or understanding the behavior of electric circuits, PhET simulations provide a hands on experience that helps you grasp complex ideas in a fun and engaging way. They are accessible anytime, anywhere, so you can learn at your own pace. PhET simulations work by using interactive graphics and realistic models to simulate scientific phenomena. They are designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, allowing you ...
