| Summary | This option will focus on the role ICT may play in teaching and learning in Primary schools. The broad aim of the course is to help students become more knowledgeable, confident, critical and creative users of technology in their planning of teaching and learning. Practical work with ICT will be combined with consideration of relevant findings from educational research, with emphasis on exploratory and expressive uses of technology underpinned by current theories of learning. Policy issues relating to ICT will be discussed in the light of critical literature. By the end of the course students should be able to critically evaluate ICT developments and plan novel forms of pedagogy that can exploit appropriate technology to enrich the classroom environment. |
