Previous experience
This module is aimed - in the first instance
- at science educators teaching Grade 7-12 Science. It is assumed that you:
- Are currently teaching science in any Grade from 7-12;
- Can use a mouse, keyboard, basic navigation
approaches including menus and can use at least one basic
application such as a word-processor or spreadsheet;
- Have access to a computer and reliable
email accounts;
- Have access to computers for your learners
at school (this is not a prerequisite but some aspects of
the module focus on using computers in science classrooms
with either the learner or the teacher making use of computers
in class);
- Have access to the Internet.
Module requirements
In order to complete this module, it is recommended that you first complete the module on ICT
science resources for teachers.
You should start

ASSIGNMENT
What to do:
Identify a unit of work in your science
curriculum.
Click
here to use this template for this assignment.
- Describe how you teach/taught that
unit without the integrated use of ICT resources.
- Plan and implement the unit with
the integrated use of ICT. Explain what options you
had for integrating ICT and why you chose the options
that you did. What do you envisage the impact of ICT
to be on the unit?
- Implement the unit and observe
and reflect on the integrated use of ICT during the
unit. Explain reasons for what you see happening.
- Reflect on the unit and identify
areas for improvement. Develop a plan or strategy
for future integration of ICT that reflects what you
have learnt through this experience.
