Adapting TESSA OER by embedding ICT

TESSA OER are free quality resources that support our national curriculum and can help us plan our lessons without stress. There are some courses that will involve key resources especially in sub-rural schools where help may not be reached in the area of ICT. How can the ICT embedded with these free resources and teaching & learning taking place without stress for both teacher and learner?

A good question for all of us, Oluwatoyin. I think, along with the task we are asked to do in the reflection point before activity 3.3, that we can be more innovative in our use of ICT when we use the TESSA resources.

  • We can change the recommended software or hardware for software or hardware we feel more comfortable with
  • We can transform a TESSA activity that does not involve ICT into an activity that involves ICT, at which ever level we feel comfortable with, or with whichever software or hardware we have available. And if next time we want to use this activity we have gained in confidence or discovered a better  ICT way of dealing with the activity, let's review our practice!

If you have not discovered it already the document Integrating ICT into classroom activities will give you some ideas which you will be bale to adapt to other subjects.

For children who have delayed in speech development, taking pictures of using phones can be displayed for a target sound. for example: i show a picture of a cat when teaching sound /k/ in initial position. audio recordings too can be used by guiding the learner to listen to sound of a can and at the same time show the picture of a cat.

It is possible for us to use ICT and avoid stress for both the teacher and learner.

If we are go by what Oluwatoyin Fape said above, we will observed that there some learners who are some remote centres, who do not have access to internet and smart phones with this kind of situations, how do we deploy TESSA OER effectively without leaving these categories of learners out of the programme. In a situation like this what do the teacher do?
