Summary
Belief - Effective pedagogy is about engaging students in learning.
Generation Y & Z students are highly likely to be digital learners, and therefore can be engaged by “integrated ICTs” in the curriculum. The ICT PD Framework describes the “attributes” of a teacher using “integrated ICTs” in the classroom. Therefore it is highly desirable to have our region’s teachers using pedagogy that utilises ICTs to engage students.
There is strong alignment between Smartclassrooms’ ICT PD Framework and P-12 Framework and QCAR.
