Part 1:
Preparing to Use ICT in Teaching
a.
Aims and Objectives
The
teacher's aim for the sake of this case study is to develop learners'
ability to understand patterns of influence, cause and effect
in History. In this case the learners are Key Stage 3 pupils in
a mixed gender urban comprehensive school and they are working
on The Twentieth Century World integrated with War and Society
as their History Theme. As we meet the teacher, he has used with
a range of groups a variety of methods of promoting understanding
in this area, including books, newspapers and other print materials,
television and video programmes and his own word-processed materials.
Specifically,
the teacher wants the pupils at this phase of their development
to:
- Describe
the main events leading to the outbreak of the Second World
War
- Distinguish
between influences and causes in History and in relation to
specific events prior to the Second World War
- Evaluate
some of the causes of the war and their actual and alternative
effects
- Describe
the impact of the main features of war on those not directly
involved in conflict
- Provide
alternative accounts of events based on different models
Questions
for Consideration
- How
do you currently deal with this area of work in the classroom?
- Do
you use any ICT based methods to gather and present information,
and how do you manage use of these?
Keep
a short record of your responses to these questions for discussion
with your mentor.
