Coming from the old school background I am far from IT-savvy. The ICT course is quite intimidating as I am unfamiliar with technology-supported teaching pedagogies. MOE's Master Plans and IT has clearly redefine teaching styles and expectations since my schooling days. As a mid career switcher I feel the impact. However, I am determined to learn in order to make my English and Literature lessons meaningful. I need to incorporate ICT into my lessons.
QED522 course comes in very handy as it goes a long way to make my lessons more meaningful to students. I need to arrest and maintain students' attention and make lessons effective, easily digestible and engaging. Visual delivery of lessons make students retain what has been taught. Shakespeare plays can be resuscitated and made relevant with the aid of ICT. Poetry lessons will no longer be inaccessible and abstract to students.
In my first ICT class I learned about Master Plans (MP) 1, 2 and 3; the KWLQ Framework; wiki; blogging and we had an ice breaking session. The 3 MPs are chronologically crafted ICT programmes for the education field. The differences are :
MP1 places strong emphasis for schools to harness ICT for instance in ICT infrastructure.
MP2 consolidates the integration of ICT into the curriculum, establishing baseline ICT standard for students.
Currently, MP3 (2009 to 2014) is the culmination of the MPs 1 and 2. The agenda of MP3 is to firmly integrate ICT in teaching, methodology, student evaluation exercises, be more hands-on and innovation-centred to empower ourselves to face challenges ahead.
As to questions I have right now... I have lots to learn
