, CIC2601 – Assignment 2: Computer Integration in the Classroom
Due Date: 03 June 2025
Total Marks: 50
Question 1: Plan a Lesson or Teaching Strategy that Integrates Digital
Technology
[20 Marks]
Lesson Topic: Grade 6 Natural Sciences – The Solar System
Digital Technology Integrated: Interactive simulation tool (e.g., NASA's Eyes on the
Solar System or Stellarium)
Planned Digital Integration:
The lesson incorporates a digital planetarium simulation, such as Stellarium, where
learners virtually explore the solar system. The application allows learners to zoom in on
planets, read facts, and observe orbital movements in real time. A projector will be used
in class, and learners will also engage in group activities using school-provided tablets.
Planning for Effectiveness:
1. Learning Objectives:
o Understand the structure of the solar system.
o Identify the characteristics of each planet.
2. Lesson Structure:
o Introduction (10 minutes): Brief class discussion about planets.
o Digital Simulation (20 minutes): Guided virtual tour of planets.
o Group Work (20 minutes): Learners work in groups to complete a
worksheet based on the simulation.
o Conclusion (10 minutes): Recap and learner reflections.
3. Support and Differentiation:
o Provide simplified material for learners with barriers.
