Lessons Integrating Information and Communication Technology within a Curriculum Area

I am Magda, a secondary school teacher. I teach english integrating the new technologies, and the book can be an important tool for my lessons. Lesson Seven: Todo el Mundo Hace Juegos con Cuerda/The Whole World Plays String Games Age/Grade Range 2nd-6th Grade. Lesson Objective/Learning Goal: Immediate: story sequencing and oral language fluency. Integrating a curriculum with technology involves making technology into a tool to enhance learning in a content area or multidisciplinary setting. The technology should become an integral part of how the classroom functions, as accessible as all other classroom tools. The English curriculum is built around the three interrelated strands of language, literature and literacy. Teaching and learning programs should balance and integrate all three strands. Together, the strands focus on developing students’ knowledge, understanding and skills in listening, reading, viewing, speaking, writing and creating. It is the basis of the curriculum. What is project based learning (PBL) Opinion Markham, T. (2011) in Teacher Librarian, 39(2): PBL integrates knowing and doing. Students learn knowledge and elements of the core curriculum, but also apply what they know to solve authentic problems and produce results that matter.
