ICT intergration

ICT may be used to support learners to design and produce their own knowledge representations thereby engage with powerful learning experience. The New Curriculum Statement (NCS) Learning Outcomes are measured by the Assessment Standards i.e. the learner must achieve certain Learning Outcomes and Assessment Standards for example, in Mathematics, LO5: Data Handling AS6;the learner must be able to collect, analyse, organize, and represent data effectively and appropriately. This lessons can be interesting when using the ICT, Micro-soft Excel, as it gives learners the opportunity to draw different graphs, bar graphs,line graghs, pie charts, etc.

Unlike in the Mathematics textbooks, in the book learners must read the information and represent it on the graph. It does not motivate and challenge learners. While when working on computers using Micro-soft excel, the learner can work on this information having a lot to choose from and challenging activities. Educators can make use of Micro-soft Excel to create activities and design graphs.
