QUESTION 1
I believe that ICTs do ease a teacher’s workload, and it allows for full coverage of the
curriculum and makes learning fun for students.
1. ICT tools do ease teachers’ load.
Teachers will not have to do as much admin as they would have before. They can use
a variety of applications that will sort and identify information that the teachers would
have had to do in the past, such as recording of marks and working out percentages
and averages, it can be done on Microsoft Excel.
Teachers can free up time they would have had to spend teaching using online videos,
music, and activities. The teacher will not have to stand and teach for a full hour for
example, they could have students watch a video and then go over the material for as
little as 15 minutes.
Teachers who use online activities will not have to spend time marking in their free
time. Some websites will mark these activities (mostly multiple-choice questionnaires)
and the teacher just must record the marks afterwards.
2. ICT tools enables full coverage of the school curriculum.
Schools that were closed due to COVID-19 that had access to ICTs were still able to
complete the curriculum because they used online-learning platforms such as Google
Classroom.
ICTs can be used for all subjects that are available in South Africa (Public schools).
Subjects such as design (draw using tablet and stylus), languages (using Microsoft
Word for writing letters) and history (finding articles online) just to name a few can all
cover the content of the curriculum while making use of ICTs.
The use of ICTs enables the coverage of the full curriculum in that teachers can find,
adjust, and create resources more effortlessly than ever before.
3. ICT tools makes learning fun.
Students are more willing to work and have fun technology because they have been
born in the age of technology. They will therefore find it more fun to learn from
modern technology than straight from a book.
When students are actively involved in a lesson, they find that they have more fun, we
can therefore say that students are more actively involved when using ICTs over the
use of textbooks or worksheets.
Using ICTs makes learning fun because teachers can give activities for the students to
complete online, which is a place that is welcomed amongst the younger generation.
Students will find that they have fun when doing anything online, even if they usually
do not like that subject because they feel most comfortable with the internet (they
grew up with it).
