INTEGRATING ICT IN EDUCATION

Gain attention

—

technology’s visual and interactive qualities can easily motivate and direct

students’ att

ention toward learning tasks.

Support manual operations during high

—

level learning - students are more motivated to learn complex skills when technology tools help them do the low – level skills involved.

Illustrate real world relevance through highly visual presentations

—

students are more likely

to learn skills that have clear real – life applications to their future work.

Engage through production work

—

students who learn by creating their own products with technologies such as word processing, multimedia, hypermedia and other technology products report higher engagement in learning and a greater sense of pride in their achievements.

Collaborate students with audience for their communication

—

students get to be more motivated to write and do their best production work when they publish it on the Web, since others outside the classroom will see their work.

Supply self

—

paced learning for capable students - students who can learn on their own with

software tutorials and / or distance educational materials can be directed to take topics ahead of others.

 Allow access to learning opportunities

 —

students with disabilities depend on technology to compensate for vision, hearing, or manual dexterity they need to read, interact in class, and do products to show what they have learned
