Designing Facilitation Resources
Teacher and learner roles are different in a learner-centred, project-based classroom. Since teachers spend less time dispensing information, they have to be organized and
creative to ensure that learners understand the content they need. Teachers in
learner-centred classrooms listen to learners and observe them as they work, while keeping learning goals in mind. Creating tools to help you collect, interpret, and use
information about learners can help you stay more focused on learning. In this
activity, you consider how ICT can support you and your learners as you transition to these new roles.
Step 1: Considering National Guidelines
The DoE Guidelines for Teacher Training and Professional Development in ICT identifies ten areas in their ICT integration competencies that define the fundamental concepts, knowledge, skills, and attitudes [that teachers should use] for applying ICT in
the learning environment.
Just as learners should use ICT to enhance their learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity, teachers should also use ICT to support their teaching and learning strategies and improve their productivity.
In previous modules, you practiced using various ICT tools. Use the following table to review areas you are most interested in pursuing further to help you improve your practices and productivity.
During this activity, you review sample facilitation materials for ideas on how to create
resources for your project. You learn about embedding, hyperlinking, and using document
reviewing tools. Then, you create a document, presentation, spreadsheet, or web-based resource that supports the needs of your project.
