“Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.” (Chinese proverb)

This is the first unit in our programme. The unit offers an introduction to interactive teaching with and without ICT. It introduces the idea of “plan-teach-reflect”, as well as lesson planning to include interactive activity. The unit covers the following aspects:

  1. What is interactive teaching?
  2. ICTs in interactive teaching
  3. Effective use of ICTs including collaborative writing using ICTs

The aims of Unit 1 are to:

  • understand principles of interactive teaching - with and without ICT,
  • see illustrations and discuss issues involved in implementing it,
  • think about changing one’s own practice, and
  • develop ways of working with colleagues to reflect on practice, share ideas and trial new strategies.

The unit is presented here in four section or "sessions" of approximately two hours length (when used in a workshop setting), but you may want to divide the material to suit your own setting.
