''In keeping with the title of the paper, "ICT Mediation in teaching-learning', an ability to work in the ICT environment, creating content, sharing and learning and focusing on educational and learning processes, are the key principles of the  design of the source book, rather than on just learning specific applications''. The source book has been designed keeping in mind the various possibilities of creative expression possible through ICT applications and platforms available today and also seeks to build a mindset that will explore such applications pro-actively and independently on an ongoing basis.

'''''In keeping with the title of the paper, "ICT Mediation in teaching-learning', an ability to work in the ICT environment, creating content, sharing and learning and focusing on educational and learning processes, are the key principles of the  design of the source book, rather than on just learning specific applications''.''' The source book has been designed keeping in mind the various possibilities of creative expression possible through ICT applications and platforms available today and also seeks to build a mindset that will explore such applications pro-actively and independently on an ongoing basis. The syllabus emphasizes a thematic, project based approach to ICT learning, such an approach will also enable integration of ICT with multiple school subjects.

The source book will be supplemented with a digital user manual, providing the features and processes of using the software applications used in the source book. This will be provided online as well as offline for easy reference. Developing hands-on skills of interacting with ICT is very important and forms an important part of this paper. Technology is a domain of learning where "the knowing and doing" are not clearly demarcated hence, theory and practice have been woven together in each unit. Thus along with developing understanding of a dimension of ICT - like creating or connecting or learning - you will also learn how to use relevant applications for different academic processes.
