Our objective is to develop our younger generation to be life-long, independent learners.
Usage of ICT is an invaluable tool. It allows for instant access (in the presence of Wi-Fi or 3G) to learning resources (if they are available online). It enables learning anywhere and anytime. Students are able to learn at their own pace as well as interact with peers and experts beyond the limits of the school. Computer modeling and diagrams can help illustrate certain points. Students can, for instance, modify variables in different experiments and view the results. The teacher could facilitate by aiding in the interpretation of the results.
e.g. 1: Empty axes allow for plotting of graphs after altering variables

Prem - Computer modelling is a great tool for students to use to chart their results on experiements and it can be a real-time feature where they can share their results with teachers and other students via blogposts, sticky notes etc. Technology has advanced so much and if students are groomed from young on such ICT tools, their interest on pursuing computer engineering and computer science can be kindled further to pursue advancement in these career options.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the website, I ponder what should be the critical success factors for ICT in making students to be competently ready for 21st century.
ReplyDeleteI read in our ICT main reference book, it mentioned about a ICT tool, eg MS Words can be used to create a journal/summary writing which generate ideas. However, the same tool can be misused as a teacher-created document which mainly asking students to read and memorise.
