These online activities are taken from the third in a series of publications called "Ideas for integrating ICT into the primary and secondary classroom". The first book published in 1999, focused on:
This publication was reviewed by Heather Govier in Micros in Primary Education (MAPE), Summer 2000, Issue No. 3, p12, 1999. Heather said, "…. The book contains 24 distinct activities, each of which is clearly and attractively presented in full colour on a double page spread. The wide ranging nature of these activities (they cover Reception up to Year 9) means that the book is likely to be of particular interest as a source book for ICT Co-ordinators who are developing schemes of work for their schools……." The second publication focused on: 1) Using the Internet
for research in the context of curriculum subjects This publication was reviewed by Neil Stanley, Computer Education, issue 97, p25, Feb 2001. Neil said, "….. The first volume of 'Lewisham ideas' has proved very popular with those in-service and trainee teachers I work with. This new book continues in the same vein with another 22 activities targeted at nursery to yr10/11 learners and again including the useful project proformas……" This third publication in the series focused on: 1. Integrating ICT into curriculum teaching All three publications are a direct response to requests from local teachers for exemplification material to support their teaching of ICT in the context of curriculum subjects. To support teachers involved in NOF ICT training, the third publication includes a wide range of material covering the majority of National Curriculum subjects. To assist subject teachers planning the use of ICT in their subject, subject learning gains are identified for each activity. Each activity is supported by, on average, 6 on-line lesson plans. The activities are designed to complement existing ICT schemes, such as DfEE QCA primary and secondary ICT schemes of work, by providing ideas for different ways in which ICT can be used to enhance teaching and learning in the classroom. The activities have been planned in line with the National Curriculum (NC) 2000 programmes of study (POS) and have been assessed against the ICT attainment target (AT). Teachers looking for ways in which to integrate ICT into curriculum teaching will find these helpful. Teacher trainers and practising teachers involved in New Opportunities Fund (NOF) ICT training, and looking for ideas for integrating ICT into subject teaching, will find the material useful. ICT Co-ordinators will find the assessed samples of work helpful when assessing pupils' ICT work. The materials illustrate the processes of developing aspects of ICT in primary and secondary schools. The process has been informed by techniques associated with action research methodology. The process involves: 1. identifying and
planning an ICT activity within a subject context Each activity in the publications has been planned within a subject context. In each, the subject is being consolidated and the ICT activity is the focus for teaching. The background teaching, particularly of the subject, is explicit in the 'Context' section of the activity. Pupils' work has been assessed and teachers have selected samples of work from one attainment target level as illustration. All the software referred to in the activities is generic and similar software should be available on computers in classrooms used for curriculum purposes. Printable proformas for planning, assessment and evaluation are also available. |
