OUR UNDERSTANDING We believe that the ICT project is a chance for us a training teachers to have ago at using a variety of ICT tools to create four lessons that are relevant for use when we are out in the education sector, for either prac or actually teaching lessons. It also serves as a resouce to others out there in the same situation. This is an opportunity for us to create better knowledge and understandng of the use of ICT, by a handson approach and life-like simulation of the correct use of ICT. It also shows us the many and effective ways that ICT can be manipulated and used to our and the students advantages for a better learning environment.

The reason we chose to use these ICT methods for our project was to give the students an opportunity to demonstrate social constructivism through self-learning and aiding in their development of knowledge. Through the use of Inspiration and Publisher to create their own documents and express their own ideas provides an opportunity to expand their knowledge and further cement the knowledge through problem solving. Tools such as searching the internet, smartboard and Inspiration are examples of cognitive tools that can be expressed through thought and action. Although the tasks are clearly set out to the students, majority of the content is discovered by the student as they continue through the different activities of each task. Each task, takes the previous task into a deeper understanding and requires the student to draw on previous knowledge in order for them to develop further knowledge. Presenting the students with a series of tasks and activities that need to be achieved within a certain time frame allows student to also develop their time management skills as well as their creative and inquiry tools.

The ICT tools we used helped to achieve the main LAOs for each task. Each ICT tools used in each task was used to further increase the students knowledge and understanding of the curriculm. The ICT tools provided an opportunity for the students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the content, self-management skills and interpersonal skills through tasks that promote self-learning and discovery of knowledge. LAOs are targeted through both active learning and constructive learning through the ICT methods and help the student to learn in numerous and engaging ways.
