ICTs can contribute to universal access to education, equity in education, the delivery of quality learning and teaching, teachers’ professional development as well as improve education management, governance and administration provided the right mix of policies, technologies and capacities are in place. It plays an important role in forging links between schools, local and global communities. It can promote innovation, increase productivity and enrich quality of life. 21st century is characterized with the emergence of knowledge based society wherein ICT
plays a critical role. The National curriculum framework 2005 (NCF 2005) has also highlighted the importance of ICT in school education. Keeping in mind the importance of ICT, a major paradigm shift is imperative in education characterised by imparting instructions collaborative learning, multidisciplinary problem–solving and promoting critical and creative thinking skills. 

CURRICULUM OBJECTIVES:

The following are the Objectives for the curriculum of ICT in Education: To develop skills that will enable them to function as discerning students in an increasingly digital society To access various tools and applications for learning and skill development opportunities To operate a variety of hardware and software independently and troubleshoot common problems and using the ICT facility with care, ensuring the safety of
themselves, others and the equipment To create a variety of digital products using appropriate tools and applications and
saving, storing and managing digital resources To practice safe, legal and ethical means of using ICT

DURATION OF THE COURSE:

2 periods per week (one period = 40 at least 25 weeks of engagement per year over 5 years.

 

Methodology

The strategy will be as fllows:
 Step 1: Demo by the Teachers:

 NOTE:  If there  are more  than  20 students in a class then  the  class will be  divided  into
 groups  of 20 students for the Hands on session.
  • One group  will attend the ICT Lab for doing  Hands on activities.
  • Rest of the group  will go for the other subject classes / labs.
Step 3: Assessments:
E-portfolio: At the end of the Hands on Activities, students will sumit the outputs  in the e-portfolio which will be assessed by the teachers  and grade  them.
Showcase:  At the  end of  the  year  students will showcase the  outputs  in the  e- portfolio which will be assessed by the Teachers.
