EDT201-ICT in teaching and learning

30th April 2024   Learning about TPACK:   a   Powerful   Tool   for   Teaching This week, I learned about a cool framework called TPACK. It stands for Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge. Basically, it's a way for teachers to think about how to use technology in the classroom to teach stuff in the best way possible. TPACK is made up of three things: Tech Savvy: This means knowing all about the different tech tools and online resources available, and how they can be helpful (or not so helpful) in teaching. Teaching Tricks: This is all about the different ways teachers can explain things and help students learn. Subject Smarts: This is the knowledge a teacher has about the specific subject they're teaching, like math, science, or history. Here's the cool part: When you combine these three things, amazing things can happen! Imagine you're teaching about rivers in social studies. You could use TPACK to: Show pictures and diagrams on a projector to explain t

1st June 2024 Middle   Level   ICT   of  ICT Integration In todays session , we were taught about using of PhET simulation. I have never used it before. However, after exploring about it, I found it as a very useful tool when it comes to teaching and learning. Firstly let me explain about the PhET.  It  was founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman. PhET began with Wieman's vision to improve the way science is taught and learned.  PhET  provides fun, free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations. We have done a class activity using PhEt simulation which was very interesting. It was based on science subject. We were asked to construct a simple circuit by changing the number of wires, bulbs and battery. Then we were asked to measure the voltage and current when there is increase in the number of wires, bulbs and battery. Here are the pictures of the circuits that I have constructed using PHet simulation. After doing this activity, I found PhET simulation v
