How Teaching Activities
Support Education Policy

Remember, when you are creating activities, all the educational experiences must not only motivate learners and help them to achieve worthwhile learning outcomes, but also work towards achieving national objectives and priorities. See some national statements below:

Canada
The Goals of the Learning and Technology Policy Framework from Canada (Alberta)
(Ref: Alberta Learning 2004)
The following goals will provide direction for the use of technology and support the achievement of Alberta learning system objectives:

  1. Access to quality learning opportunities is expanded
  2. Learning is enriched
  3. Learning outcomes are improved
  4. Information and communication technology skills of Albertans are enhanced
  5. The efficiency of learning system management is improved
  6. Research and knowledge creation are advanced
  7. Markets for learning programs, resources and services are expanded’
Teachers should be able to explain the principles of using ICT in education, describe how these principles can be put into practice, analyse the issues that arise in implementing these principles and how the issues can be addressed (KD.1.a).
