TE year2sourcebook/year2 unit2 year2 Introduction to the Unit

In Unit 2 of year 1 and unit 1 of year 2, we learnt to create generic and subject specific digital resources using FOSS applications. In Unit 2 of year 2, the focus is on integrating digital methods for classroom transaction, including by using these resources created.

An effective implementation of the ICT Mediation course requires that the transaction of other courses be modified to integrate digital resources and tools. Hence this unit will be jointly transacted by the teacher educator facilitating this paper along with the teacher educators for the other subjects.

The unit concludes with a discussion on the larger socio-political and economic implications of ICT on society, an understanding of which will need to inform the pedagogical choices made by the teacher in integrating ICT in education.
