Module 2A-5: Assignment 3: ICT and the Roles of the Educator

This is perhaps the last post in this particular blog (at least for a while because I am not sure what happens next).  The latter part of the course was very taxing especially in light of a hectic schedule at work. Still this assignment was rewarding.

I was required to re-visit an old lesson and and give it an ICT twist.  I used a software that could simulate electricity labs and it was quite interesting.  The thing is however, that I had access to this software for quite sometime but had never followed through.  I am glad that I eventually did.

I have been encouraging science teachers to use similar approaches and it was a physics teacher who first introduced me to the software.  The ease with which this approach allows students to understand key concepts and the excitement it generates suggest to me that I should forge ahead with plans to assist teachers increase their reliance on ICT for educational purposes.  In fact it will be the subject of a major series of workshops that I am planning for the near future.
