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 the
learner's ability to carry out a range of tasks and to demonstrate
skills, which will be assessed against the Key Skills Information
Technology Curriculum. In this case, the students are working
towards IT Key Skills Level 3 - applying IT skills to suit different
purposes. The teacher has used a variety of methods of improving
the student's ability to apply their IT skills to straightforward
tasks, including didactic teaching, textbooks and other print
materials and the use of videos for case studies.
Specifically,
the teacher needs to assess the students on the following areas:
- IT
3.1 Plan and use different sources to search for and select
information required for two different purposes.
- Plan
how to obtain and use the information required to meet the
purpose of your activity.
- Choose
appropriate sources and techniques for finding information
and carry out effective searches.
- Make
selections based on judgements of relevance and quality.
- Sample
evidence: A description of the substantial activities and tasks
A plan for obtaining and using the information required Print
outs of relevant information with notes on sources compared
and used. Notes on how you made searches and selected information.
- IT
3.2 Explore, develop and exchange information, and derive
new information to meet two different purposes.
- Enter
and bring together information in a consistent form, using
automated routines where appropriate.
- Create
and use appropriate structures and procedures to explore
and develop information and derive new information.
- Use
effective methods of exchanging information to suit your
purpose.
- Sample
evidence: Printouts, with notes or assessors' observation records
showing how you have exchanged, explored and developed information
and derived new information. Notes of automated routines.
- IT
3.3 Present information from two different sources for two
different purposes and audiences (including at least one example
of text, one example of images and one example of numbers.
- Develop
the structure and content of your presentation using the
views of others, where appropriate to guide refinements.
- Present
information effectively, using a format and style that suits
your purpose and audience.
- Ensure
your work is accurate and makes sense.
- Sample
evidence: Working drafts or assessor observation records showing
how you developed the presentation using information from different
sources. Printouts or prints of static or dynamic screen displays.
Questions
for Consideration
- How
do you currently deal with this or any other similar teaching
in the classroom?
- Do
you use any ICT based methods to gather and present information?
- How
do you manage the use of these?
Keep
a short record of your responses to these questions for discussion
with your mentor.
