ICT student textbook/Educational applications for learning your subjects

Objectives

We have so far learnt the different dimensions in which ICT can help create knowledge - whether graphics or audio visual communication or spreadsheets. You may be having a question how do these things help me in my subject learning? Can a graphic creation help me learn social science or help me with Telugu language or can an animation help me with doing a science experiment? You are correct!! The power of ICT to represent content in different ways has led to the development of new applications that cater to specific subjects. These applications can either help you build the skills needed for learning a subject or help you understand the concept better by adding audio visual or graphic content. Some of your classes will even become very different when the teacher starts using these resources.

In this unit, you will be learning the following:

1. An understanding of the various features of a tool and be able to apply the knowledge of such features for using in other similar applications
2. Use the features of the tool to make create resources that are relevant to your subjects
3. Enhance your conceptual understanding by playing with the tool and extending the knowledge of your subjects
