21st Century Skills
With this approach the curriculum
goes beyond a focus on knowledge
of school subjects to explicitly include
the 21st century skills such as
problem solving, communication,
collaboration, and critical thinking.
Students will also need to be able to
determine their own learning goals
and plans. Assessment is itself a part
of this process; students must be
able to assess the quality of their own
and each others’ products.
Teachers must know
about complex
cognitive thought
processes, know
how students learn,
and understand the
difficulties students
encounter. They
must have the skills
required to support
these complex
processes.

30. REMEMBER…
ICTs change the way teachers
teach and students learn.
There is a call to shift from being a
teacher-centered to learner-
centered.
Pedagogical use of ICT in
education is coupled with many
theoretical and learning
perspectives.
31. CONCLUDING
REMARKS
There is no single approach that
is effective to all.
One should consider the available
technologies.
Effective integration of ICT in
teaching and learning is not about
the latest and most advanced
technology.
