 INTEGRATING ICT through student-centered learning

Table 2. Changes of teacher role using ICT

A shift from
Knowledge transmitter
Primary source of information
Control and management of learning
to
Facilitator, collaborator, coach navigator of
knowledge, co-learner.
Teacher gives students options and
responsibilities for their own learning.

Changes brought about by use of ICT on student roles

Shift from To
Passive recipient of knowledge Active participant in learning
Recall of knowledge Producing knowledge
Individual learning Collaborative learning

INTERNET LEARNING ACTIVITIES

1. Inquiry-oriented cooperative learning
2. Web Quest
3. Themaic Web Collections
4. Open-ended, student-directed projects.
5. Publishing original ideas and thoughts.
6. Field trips.
7. Project-based learning is one method among others, which
has been proposed in order to involve students on an
inquiry process.

Among the key features of effective projects are:

1. Use of essential skills and tools, including technology;
2. Specific outcomes that solve problems, explain issues, present
