EDT201-ICT in Teaching and Learning

 TPACK model The TPACK model stands for Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge. It's a framework used in ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) education to describe the knowledge teachers need to effectively integrate technology into their teaching. Here's a breakdown of the three main areas of knowledge in TPACK: Technological Knowledge (TK): This refers to a teacher's understanding of various technologies and their capabilities. It includes knowing how to use hardware, software, and online tools effectively. Pedagogical Knowledge (PK): This focuses on a teacher's understanding of different teaching methods and strategies. It involves knowing how to design engaging lessons, assess student learning, and cater to diverse learning styles. Content Knowledge (CK): This refers to a teacher's deep understanding of the subject matter they are teaching. It encompasses knowing the core concepts, factual knowledge, and different ways to represe...

  SAMR Model SAMR model stands for  Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition.  The SAMR model provides a valuable framework for educators (and anyone integrating technology) to critically analyze how ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) are being used. Here are some key points to consider: Levels of Integration: Substitution:  This is the most basic level. Technology simply replaces traditional tools. For example, using a word processor instead of pen and paper for writing. While it can improve efficiency, it doesn't fundamentally change the task. Augmentation:  ICT enhances a task. A teacher might use a presentation tool with multimedia elements to explain a concept, making it more engaging than a plain lecture. Modification:  Technology changes the way a task is done. Students might use collaborative online tools to work together on a project, fostering communication and teamwork skills. Redefinition:  This is the most tr...

Middle Level ICT Integration In this hot afternoon class where everybody was feeling sleepy and bored and some are tired too, there we learn the interesting topic that is PhET simulation where everyone was awake by this word so called " PhET ". PhET simulations are interactive computer programs designed to help people learn about science and math. This educational technology has become an integral part while preparing a lesson and it is easier and way faster to teach today's young minds. Going through the advantages of PhET simulation. I found it, as a easiest medium for learning to takes place in this modern world. We had also done activities regarding PhET simulations and also learn new knowledge about PhET.  figures: while doing PhET activities about Circuit. Reflecting on the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) at the middle level of education involves assessing how technology is used to enhance teaching and learning for students aged roughly...
