This two page summary of how to use ICT to enhance learning is an excellent resources for considering this idea. The poster-like summary aims to explain how "using technological tools to access, use, develop, create and communicate information"(Hogg, p1) can enhance student learning. The practical summaries and advice, all taken from the work Pedagogy and Practice: Teaching and Learning in Secondary Schools, provide excellent and applicable ideas for the everyday classroom.
It answers the most basic questions surrounding ICT, including:
- Pitching ICT at the right level
- Top tips for teaching in an ICT room
- Finding the time
- When is ICT appropriate for the learning objective
- Does ICT really enhance learning?
- Don't use ICT in your subject for the sake of it (Hogg,p1-2)
This advice would be useful to almost any teacher struggling with integrating ICT into the everyday curriculum. For more advanced teachers this advice may be somewhat basic and the article fails to address questions such as, how do I monitor my students when using ICT? or how do I help my school become more ICT friendly?
