At least in the earlier units, we introduce one or two tools per unit, e.g. netbooks, images / slideshows in Unit 1, then Geogebra and collaborative writing in Unit 2, spreadsheets in Unit 3. Once you have used a particular tool, participants should continue using it, rather than just moving onto the next tool. | <!-- At least in the earlier units, we introduce one or two tools per unit, e.g. netbooks, images / slideshows in Unit 1, then Geogebra and collaborative writing in Unit 2, spreadsheets in Unit 3.

Note that we look at a different tool for every session, e.g. slideshows in one session, then GeoGebra, then spreadsheets, then back to slideshows. This makes sense if the sessions are spaced out, i.e. if you do one session per week, or one every two weeks. This means that participants do not get bored by working with the same ICT every week for a whole one or two months. However, if you were running the sessions in rapid succession (several sessions per week), it may be better to stick with the same ICTs for a number of sessions, to give participants an adequate opportunity to get familiar and pick up the required skills. You can look at an overview of the ICT activities [[OER4Schools/ICT|here]]. | |||
