This topic explores how ICT can be integrated into different subject areas using tools like GeoGebra (Math), Scratch (Computing), and Canva (Arts) to support inquiry, creativity, and problem-solving. It covers pedagogical strategies such as the TPACK and SAMR models, as well as constructivist and connectivist approaches, while emphasizing alignment of ICT activities with national curriculum outcomes, assessment criteria, and syllabus requirements.
In pairs, students will choose a digital tool related to their subject area (e.g., GeoGebra, Scratch, Canva) and explore its application in teaching and learning. Prior to the class session, each pair will prepare a brief demonstration highlighting the tool’s main features and classroom use. They will then present their demonstration during class.
Students will collaborate in groups to examine a short classroom scenario and determine how ICT tools can enhance teaching and learning. They will identify appropriate tools, describe their potential impact, and outline possible challenges along with solutions. Key strategies should be documented collaboratively in a shared Google Doc, with reference to the Maldives National Curriculum Framework for guidance. Groups will then present their findings to the class, receiving feedback from both peers and the lecturer.
Students will review the Maldives National Curriculum Framework and examine how technology is integrated across different learning areas. They will write a short summary (300 words) explaining examples of ICT integration, highlighting how digital tools support teaching, learning, and assessment in various subjects. Students will submit their summaries to a discussion forum and are encouraged to comment on at least two peers’ submissions to compare insights and approaches.
