OER4Schools/ICT/Becoming an expert 1

Different-tasks group work (20 min) on becoming an expert. You have looked at various ICTs now, including finding and using images, slideshows, the browser, Geogebra, spreadsheets, EtherPad for collaborative writing, and concept mapping. You should also be able to type more comfortably now. You should be able to develop ICT ideas that support subject learning in the classroom. You may have found that you have a particular interest in a particular application, or the particular use of an application. In this Unit, you can choose one application and deepen your knowledge.

Throughout this unit, you have an opportunity to deepen your skills in that application. Have a brief brainstorm about the different ICT skills that you have develop, and see who would like to deepen which skills. Divide into pairs, and think about what you might do for the next few sessions. Is there a particular idea that you would like to work? Is there a particular project would would like to develop? In the last session of this Unit, you will be able to present this.
