SCIENCE
The objective of this course selected is to teach the principles of how different types of science
topics can be processed and presented by ICT tools. It introduces how science can be used in
various application areas. It provides a solid foundation to the students so that they can identify
the proper applications of computer hardwares and softwares, evaluate the appropriate
multimedia systems and develop effective media in understanding of science
Student objectives:
1. Students will understand how to use ICT tools in respect to many applications including
business, schools, home, education, and virtual reality.
2. Students will understand the hardware and software needed to create projects using
creativity and organization to create them.
3. Student will develop skills understanding the principal of individual computer
applications in ICT in developing projects.
4. Students will work with all aspects of images, sound, video etc.
5. Students will learn copyright laws associated with computer.

To have multimedia skills means that you possess the expertise to use and manage various media
formats to complete projects or work. Examples of multimedia formats include television, film,
social media, visual art, textiles, graphics, video games and podcasts. So, in other to integrate
technology into the teaching of multimedia, there are essential multimedia skills every educator
requires;

1. Troubleshooting Your Own Technology

No matter how great your school’s IT department is, there are times when you need to handle
troubleshooting on the fly; otherwise, learning time in the classroom evaporates. This means
"fixing printers, connecting to the Internet, uninstalling and reinstalling needed software,
understanding security issues with computer updates and district filters.”
2. Embracing Curiosity.
One of the things I love about technology and incorporating it into my classroom is the fact that
it is ever-changing, never stagnant, rarely involves only one 'right way' of doing things, and is
full of new great ideas and possibilities.
Of course, curiosity can be risky, since it means teachers stop being the sole repository of
knowledge in the classroom. “Educators need to get past their fear of the unknown or lack of
confidence and charge forth bravely,”
3. Capturing Attention with Video.
Whether your approach uses video, podcasting, audio or screen casting, it's time to dabble with
flipped curriculum as a homework replacement for the worksheet.
Students and parents are more likely to watch a two-minute video than read a printed four-
paragraph announcement.” It is believed that “a video — when done correctly — catches
attention better than most print sources."
4. Manipulate Multiple Display Devices.
5. Perfecting Presentations.
According to Jim Rose, director for career and college pathways at Oxnard Union High School
District (CA), educators shouldn’t stop at learning how to use PowerPoint or Google Slides. He
suggested that they pursue “the ability to use a variety of presentation devices and software to
convey ideas and information.”
