Unit 1: Life Long Learning I

Student teachers use ICT to access and share resources to support their activities and their own professional learning. (KD.6.a.).

Students search for, access and share learning opportunities that support their own personal learning goals and verify the credibility.

Duration: Total of 2 notional hours – 2 hour computer practical session.

Notes to Lecturer: This unit builds upon the work covered in the Technology Literacy Course: Module 5: Unit 2: Use of ICT to Support Life Long Learning. In the Technology Literacy unit, participants were made aware of formal and informal learning approaches to further professional growth and developed an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. In this unit, participants will access and share learning opportunities that support their own personal learning goals. Participants will require access to Internet-connected computers. The facilitator will need to allocate each student with the names of three other participants that they may invite to provide commentary on their presentations uploaded to CrocoDoc. The participants will be familiar with Crocodoc, having worked with the tool in the previous module.

The activity in this unit is a recommended Portolio Task for the Knowledge Deepening cycle. A suggested making scheme can be accessed here.
