Group 1B4 Activity 7- Staff Development

Another activity completed!! Great!! Again this was a tremendous learning opportunity for me.
 

This activity was very informative.  The literature provided information of the importance of ICT integration in changing the landscape of teaching.  It reiterates and emphasizes that teachers must be willing to change the style of teaching from the humdrum traditional chalk and talk lecture method but the more dynamic learner oriented pedagogy that will be more accommodating of the different learning styles found in any class.  

I especially liked the fact that we were told of past experiences that we could learn from so that in the effort to integrate ICT into teaching and learning, we do not make the same mistakes.  Additionally, the literature included guiding principles that could be followed.  Consequently, we have a base from which to launch our ICT integration efforts and thus we do not have to reinvent the wheel of ICT integration.

I also liked the idea of sharing our presentation because it helped me to see whether or not, I am interpreting the literature in the same way that others are doing and also to determine what is taking place in ICT integration in schools in my country.
