Participants should be divided into pairs (2 members per group). The team members in each group should have a particular teaching level and area of focus/or subject in common. If for some reason they cannot access their own subject's curriculum statements use these example files: Samoa’s English or South Africa’s Mathematics curriculum statements for this exercise. Each group will require access to a computer with PowerPoint to enable them to prepare a presentation of their findings and ideas. The activity will provide participants with an opportunity to review the appropriate curriculum guide and analyse the key competencies and functional skills that should be considered important.
Once completed, the participants will able to draft a list of key competencies and functional skills that should be considered when teaching their particular teaching level and area of focus or subject, brainstorm technology tools that could potentially support the teaching of the competencies and skills listed and prepare a PowerPoint presentation that incorporates the findings and ideas of the team. Also on completion the facilitator should coordinate a presentation session and facilitate discussion. Participants should be encouraged to revise their presentations based on feedback received from other team members and save a copy of the revised presentation.
