''- An online course for teachers from KV schools''

visualise the transaction

= 1.Context of the course =
* Computing	is becoming an increasingly important skill of today‘s world
* There	are a variety of digital tools that are available for supporting	mathematics learning as well as for building computing skills
* Teachers	need to exand their PCK with approrpiate integration of technology –	why teach math as if computers don‘t exist
* Possible	for the KV to become model sites for digital learning and digitally	enabled learning
* Proposed	as a blended program which will include a self-paced (but finite)	online course which will be combined with a face to face	interaction; certification at the end of satisfactory completion
* An	advanced module (proposed) to take forward the learning forward from	the initial offering

= 2.Objectives =
* To	create a community of teachers who become experienced in ICT	integration in teaching learning
* To	create a resource pool among KV institutions on ICT integration in	classrooms
* To	create OER for mathematics (and science) teaching learning
* To	demonstrate an online platform and course delivery for CPD for KVS	teachers

= 3.How is the course structured =
* An online course spread over 5 weeks
* Participants will get a certifcate upon	satisfactory completion of the online module
* Participants can complete the course at	their own pace
* Learning resources include videos, digital	artefacts using different educational tools, discussion forums,	quizzes,
* On a LMS where all resources will be	structured and arranged for the teachers to progress through the	course

= 4.Unit 0 – Introduction to the course =

== 4.1Content outline ==
* Nature of ICT
* Curriculum for teachers to learn and use	ICT
* Tools for teachers to create and connect –	an overview and introduction
* An understanding of open educational	resources and the use of different applications to create resources
* Creation of a peer learning digital	community on Telegram to discuss and share ideas and resources
* An overview of the LMS – features and how	to use

== 4.2Participant activities ==
* Teachers to create their profile
*
* Answer a pre-course survey
*
* Introduce themselves on the discussion	forum – with an initial discussion on their understanding of	technology for learning
* later
* see videos, webinars
* quizzes
* check list of activities
* assessments
* PDL

== 4.3Resources ==
* Course introduction video (explaining the	scope and what teachers can expect to learn)
* how
* A screencast recording of the LMS
* Readings
** NCERT ICT curriculum
** ICT textbook and teacher handbook
** (List of readings from the B.Ed course –		Week 1)
** Technology tools for teachers – COL		publication

== 4.4Estimated time ==
* 2 hours
synchronous  -   2  - 4 hours

asynchronous   range  of time     8 - 12 hours

= 5.Unit 1 – Introduction to concept mapping =

== 5.1Content outline ==
* Mapping of concepts – why?  How is it	useful in the case of mathematics?
* Introducing a tool for developing concept	maps
* Mapping the mathematical concepts – with	hierarchies, connections and learning activities
* How do we build assessments to reflect this	kind of learning?

== 5.2Participant activities ==
* Map the concepts associated with different	topics being taught from Class 6-10 (in the online course, we will	focus only on Geometry, other units can be taken up in the	face-to-face interaction)
* Map	the prior skills, related concepts and follow-up
* The	concept maps – developed individually and in groups (state-wise)	and will be uploaded on the discussion forum for feedback
* The	group collectively curates the concept maps and this develops the	basis for lessons to be developed using Geogebra
* Concept	maps are discussed in the discussion forum
co construct and review the mm

== 5.3Resources ==
* Using concept mapping for learning
* NROER object collections of concept maps
* NCERT learning outcomes map (table)
* Learn Freeplane

== 5.4Estimated time ==
* 8 hours
* While participants can work at their own	pace, since there is a group curation involved, there will be a	common deadline agreed upon by which groups will complete their work

= 6.Unit 2 - Using Geogebra for mathematics teaching learning - I =

== 6.1Content outline ==
* Units mapped from Class 6-10 NCERT books	(Unit 1)
* Familiarity	with the basic tool interface (including sliders and textbox)
* Geogebra sketches for illustrating key	concepts
* Multiple ways of using Geogebra in	transaction

== 6.2Participant activities ==
* An initial set of Geogebra sketches to be	completed by all participants
* In groups, participants create the	unit-wise Geogebra sketches and associated lesson plans

== 6.3Resources ==
* Screencast	recording of Geogebra interface and the toolbar
* Screencast	recording of important tips while using Geogebra
* Screencast	recording of the checklist of Geogebra creations
* Learn	Geogebra page
* Use	of Geogebra for high school mathematics teaching – paper
* Files	created by other teachers (and curated for this course?)

== 6.4Estimated time ==
* 10-12 hours
* While	participants can work at their own pace, since there is a group	curation involved, there will be a common deadline agreed upon by	which groups will complete their work

= 7.Unit 3 - Using Geogebra for mathematics teaching learning - II =

== 7.1Content outline ==
* Using Geogebra for problem solving and	supporting logical proofs
* Comfortably	using the tool (including all features) and OER repositories for	Geogebra
* School	work - identified topics to be transacted in schools
* Development	of unit plans (this may not complete during the course)  Q: Should	certifcate be at the end of the online course itself?

== 7.2Estimated time ==
* 10-12 hours
* While	participants can work at their own pace, since there is a group	curation involved, there will be a common deadline agreed upon by	which groups will complete their work

Certification
* Based	on portfolio assessments
* attendance
* check	list
* Participation	in forums
* Extent	of classroom work
* Reflective	journal and paper
