Deciding Whether to Use ICT
There
seems to be a wide range of options for dealing with this topic.
The teacher could:
- Use
the text book only, and not use any ICT (or other technology)
at all.
- Use
a word processor package to create worksheets, perhaps placing
some images into the worksheets.
- Use
some video.
- Use
the World Wide Web to gather resources.
- Use
the World Wide Web for the resources.
- Use
e-mail to set up a "pen-friend" scheme.
Of
course, any combination of the options is also possible, but we
shall discuss them all, and your work will involve using several
of the options alone and together.
Questions
for Consideration
- How
many of the options above do you feel comfortable about at the
moment, and could you suggest any others?
- What
are the benefits to using the video alongside the written material?
- What
are the pitfalls as you see them to using the World Wide Web
to gather background information?
- Look
again at the objectives for this case study - do you think any
of them match up with the options listed?
Keep
a short record of your responses to these questions for discussion
with your mentor.
