SITC:

The programme which SiTC developed for a consortia of ITE specialists as part of the New Opportunities Fund (NOF). ICT Training for Teachers Programme in Scotland is designed for lasting impact. It uses the technology it seeks to promote, and the course may be delivered completely online. It teaches about classroom uses of ICT through case studies based on the Scottish curriculum. ICT skills are learned and practised in context, as and when needed. The course activities support teachers to integrate ICT into the curriculum in appropriate ways. The design team have developed a metacognitively rich learning environment which provides strong scaffolding for inexperienced users of ICT. How ICT will impact on the delivery of the school curriculum is a topic of major significance for education today. How effective courses can be designed to assist teachers to create powerful and ICT rich learning environments for their students is a highly related issue. Our critique of traditional, skills-based ICT training for teachers has revealed major deficiencies in this approach. This has enabled us to construct an online learning environment for teachers designed to develop their understanding of how ICT can support learning and teaching as well as the necessary skills base.
