Unit 10 - ICT to Support...

Internet usage in the classroom has come a long way in the last decade.Today’s teachers are expected to be proficient with new technologies and implement new teaching strategies that are designed around the Internet-based lessons. 

The 
development
 of
 the 
World 
Wide
 Web 
has 
had 
a 
significant 
impact
 on
 education,
especially 
the 
lesson
 planning
 process:
the 
Internet 
has
 provided 
a 
setting 
for
 teachers 
to
 find 
and
 share 
lesson 
plans
.

Currently,
thousands
 of
 lesson
 plans 
are 
available 
online 
and 
increasingly,
“general 
and
 special
 educators
 report
 the 
Internet 
as 
a
 resource 
to 
supplement 
lesson 
preparation 
and
 access 
relevant
 information
to
 be
 used
 in
 instruction

Internet my be used to find existing lesson plans,in this way when someone is connected to the internet it is easy to make a research and to be interconnected with others so he/she can be shared the lesson plans effectively.

in the today's digital world, nothing is hiden. the intrnet is a nc tool to help us sharing our works and search for something new. in this persepective, the internet may help us to enrich our lessons plans and prepare lessons with digital tools.

Through the internet you can find the other information to consider while preparing your lesson. You can assess your weakness and your stong point by referring to the others wherever in the world.

In addition, ICT is the communication tool. By using the search engine you can find the existing lesson plan made by experts. 

You can enreach your lesson by consulting the others on the internet.

internet has become a very helpful tool to access information,it help both teachers and learners to plan a lesson,to be organize to share with others teaching and learning materials.

Why Teachers Use the Internet

 ten main reasons why teachers use the Internet:

1. To find low-cost or free materials 2. To connect the classroom to the larger world. 3. To help teachers manage time more efficiently. 4. To motivate students. 5. To give students opportunities to learn by doing. 6. To expand opportunities for "tele mentoring"

7. To help teachers communicate and share experience and ideas with other teachers 8. To help bring the school and the community closer together. 9. To help teachers spread good news about what's happening in their classrooms. 10. To "rejuvenate" teachers' professional lives.

The Internet is a great place to look to obtain background information and formulate a picture of the background of a topic that is relatively unknown to a student.

The Internet is also an ideal mechanism for encouraging students to assume responsibility for their own learning. As students find different learning resources on the Internet, they become active participants in their quest for knowledge. Incorporating the Internet into your classroom provides students with more opportunities to structure their own learning. Students are able to define their learning needs, find information, assess its value, build their own knowledge base, and communicate their discoveries.

Yet before you can begin to use the Internet in your classroom, students need to have the foundation of two main sets of skills to help them navigate the Internet and then manage the large amounts of information they find.

existing curriculum intend to base on student's self practice and involve themselves in implementation of what they study rather than depending on their teachers. internet is the key towards the implementation of the new curriculum because it gives the students the opportunity to do research themselves  and gives teachers to do research  in order to give credible lessons .  in general internet is completely a key to the implementation of the new curriculum.

internet as we know is for information and communication, that means we will use it to search information about an existing lesson plan and even update lesson plan, it will also help us in communication between teachers.

ICT to support traditional pedagogy Pedagogy is a way of communicating or transmitting knowledge to the learners. It is mostly called methodology. Traditionally teachers of that time used to refer to the past events so that the students would master the content. FOr now ICT is playing a great role in teaching and learning activities because we n longer narrate stories but use videps of the situation after downloading the on the different websites like; Google, you tube,you pack.............which refer to the past events. These make students involve and prticipate actively in the lesson. thank you!

BY using internet, it helps to visit different websites where one can get a posted lesson plan by any one else. there even different examples of lesson plans posted either by REB to facilitate the quality education we are running out of. There are also other institutions that are aiming at providing quality of education in the entire world. Thank you!

Why Teachers Use the Internet?

Below are the ten main reasons why teachers use the Internet:

To find low-cost or free materials To connect the classroom to the larger world. To help teachers manage time more efficiently To motivate students To give students opportunities to learn by doing To expand opportunities for "tele mentoring"

To help teachers communicate and share experience and ideas with other teachers To help bring the school and the community closer together To help teachers spread good news about what's happening in their classrooms To "rejuvenate" teachers' professional lives.

Internet helps teachers in lesson plan in these ways; 

1. Easy to find materials 2. Connecting the classroom to the larger world. 3.  Helping teachers for managing time. 4.  Motivating students. 5.  giving students opportunities to learn by doing. 6. Expanding opportunities for "tele mentoring"

7.  Helping teachers to communicate and share experience and ideas with other teachers 8. Helping teacher to bring the school and the community closer together.

However, it is the students who are the ones that can benefit the most from the Internet, and it is the teachers who should be harnessing this invaluable resource and incorporating it into their class. The Internet is a great tool that entertains students, while providing subtly educating them requiring them to use a mixture of the four skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking. It can be used every day as regular course material, but it can also be used to supplement other existing ESL materials. All teachers need to do is use it once in a while in class, internet provides unique and creative activities that teachers can incorporate into their lesson plans while students build on their English skills using a complete range of multimedia available on the Internet including: 1.Gain Invaluable Research Skills Through Unfamiliar Topics; 2.2        Internet Treasure Hunt; 3.Presentation Assignments; 4.News Tasks; 5.Email Buddies; 6.Surveys.

1. - Internet might be used to share existing lesson plans with other teachers around the word.
2. It can be used to make research and edit our existing lesson plans to enrich them and update them with the time and the new knowledge.
3. It can be used to search appropriate digital teaching learning aids related to our existing lesson plans.
4. it can be used to publish our existing lesson plans on the international level.
5. it can be used to facilitate the illustration of our existing lesson plans.
6. etc
   

How might the Internet be used to find existing lesson plans?

when someone connected to internet it is easy to make research of different ideas 

and allow teachers to share those ideas found during research.

Teachers and students  also used an internet to find different skills.
