Exploring ICT in Science Teaching and Learning by Jordyn-Lee Makovinyi https://padlet.com/vb92n6r4np/fmt3vpdijr420apz "Technology will not replace great teachers, but technology in the hands of great teachers can be transformational" - George Couros (2019). en-us 2025-03-24 22:23:46 UTC 2025-03-28 07:54:56 UTC hello@padlet.com Hello and Welcome! vb92n6r4np https://padlet.com/vb92n6r4np/fmt3vpdijr420apz/wish/3380216520 Hello and Welcome, Fellow NST Educators!

My name is Jordyn-Lee Makovinyi [30001720] - a Cluster 6 Student at Two Oceans Graduate Institute. Through this Padlet, we will be exploring how we, as educators, can integrate ICT into the teaching and learning of Science! I hope you find this both engaging and insightful. Let us begin!

Review of Two Subsections within Chapter 8, namely:

  • "The Challenges Emerging From Technology"

  • "The Repertoire for Science Teaching and Learning"

(Botha & Gregson, 2016).

Department of Basic Education, 2011).


This is just one example of an educational video that could be used when teaching this subtopic in one's science lessons, created by Crash Course Kids in 2016.
