ICT: The most effective way

Planning is important in teaching as it ensures learning progression in subject learning and also
in the general capabilities of the curriculum. Through planning you be able to better manage
student boredom in the classroom which leads to behaviour issues and more classroom
management strategies are needed. Planning ensures that all students learn from the
curriculum and that the content of the key learning areas are considered.

Yet, one of the most difficult things which you have to face as a teacher is being able to plan
ICT activities that develop student ICT capabilities.The most effective way to develop students'
ICT capabilities is to provide them with meaningful activities, embedded in purposeful subject-
related contexts.

Here are some things for you to consider when you want to plan for using ICT for teaching and
learning in your classroom.

1.Have you conducted a thorough analysis of the situation?

Effective teaching depends on effective planning and this in turn, relies heavily on you
conducting a thorough analysis of the situation. For there to be an optimal lesson with ICT you
need to have clear learning goals, provide a supportive social context for learning, enable
students to engage in the learning process in a number of different ways, help students
contextualize the content in terms of their own experience and knowledge, and be willing to
modify learning tasks in the light of student circumstances.

2. Understand how students learn with ICT

Before you even begin to plan on using ICT for teaching, it is vital that you understand how your
students learn with ICT. You must learn how to match the ICT resource to the intended learning
and how ICT relates to other key skills.

3. Decide on the role you want ICT to play in the activity

Do you want the students to use the ICT in the activity to develop their ICT capability, to support
learning in another area of the curriculum or both? Ultimately, you should aim to have the
students use ICT to support the subject context learning whilst remaining transparent in the
background and developing their ICT capability.

4. Are there opportunities for you to assess children’s ICT competence?

Good planning should create assessment opportunities because good assessment informs
good planning.

5. Cover all your basis

Use a range of further questioning to consider things such as the knowledge about children’s
existing knowledge, cross-curricular links, and any constraints on yourself when planning to use
ICT etc.

6. Reflect on the impact of learning styles in education and the role of ICT within them

The main problem is not only the abundance of models but also the competing benefits of
successful use. ICT has the capability to provide high quality visual and auditory materials,
however, the justification for their use should not just be that they match a single learning style.
