Module 1: Why Use ICT? |
ICT is increasingly used in education and in the business and leisure industries. This means children have access to ICT in many different aspects of their lives. It is essential, therefore, that we give them a wide variety of opportunities to explore how the technology can support them in their learning. For example, while pupils are using a desk top publishing package to create a school newspaper they are also developing their ability to communicate more effectively. This provides both a context and a meaning for the ICT activity. Taking the IT out of context and teaching IT skills separately, not only decontextualises ICT but also places additional burdens on curriculum time. The use of ICT therefore should be a meaningful part of an activity where it is used to consolidate or extend pupils' learning.
Some examples of how ICT can be used to support pupils learning are:
