COL's Approach to Teacher Development in ICT
The COL approach to teacher development in ICT integration views the teachers’ contexts in teaching content, selecting pedagogical approaches and using ICT as an integrated whole. When learning about any one of these the teacher does not lose sight of the others. When training teachers in ICT integration skills ICT integration is modelled so that the teachers are able to experience how ICT can be used as a resource for teaching and learning in the school and the classroom.
Successful integration of ICT in the classroom will depend on the teachers’ ability to design and/or adapt engaging learning activities and structure the learning environment in ways that merge the pedagogy with the advantages that ICT offers.
