Adapting the curriculum

In the section ‘Adapting TESSA OER by embedding ICT’ [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)]  you saw how to adapt an existing resource from the TESSA materials. Embedding ICT involves looking at the curriculum and thinking about how you can use the ICT available to you in your teaching, so that it becomes an integral part of teaching and learning.

In Activity 1.3 you considered how to use the technology available to you and started to fill in a table. You will re-visit this in the next activity and make a plan to use ICT in your own teaching.

Activity 3.4: Integrating ICT in the curriculum

Timing: (Allow approximately 40 minutes)

Go back to the table that you started to complete in Activity 1.3. Using the ideas from this section, fill in as much as you can. You can keep adding to the table as you practise using ICT and gather more experience and ideas.

Now, working with a colleague (if possible), select a topic from the curriculum that you teach and reconstruct it by adding elements of ICT to enhance the activities and make them as learner-centred as possible. Make notes in your notebook to record what you changed and why. If you can, share your ideas with other colleagues and get their feedback.
