Despite having some limitations,
a computer lab can be an effective interim solution until computers become an integral part of classrooms. But how could ICT lab activities be integrated into lesson plans?

Activity:

  1. Working in pairs, review the lecture resource supplied again here.
  2. Integrating computer lab use into learning requires thought and planning. In pairs, brainstorm ideas of which sections of the curricula would benefit from an ICT lab environment and develop a lesson plan that illustrates this good practice. Use the table above to spark ideas.
  3. Now do the counter activity for identifying sections of the curricula that would NOT be suited to working in an ICT lab. As a pair, remember to explain your answer.
  4. The tutor will summarise the main points of the discussion and conclude.
Teachers should be able to integrate the use of a computer laboratory into ongoing teaching activities. (TL.5.a)
