The ICT Integration Project is meant to explore the ways that teachers can integrate ICT into the curriculum, with a focus on the content being taught, not on the ICT tools themselves. This project consists of four lesson plans with clear links to the Curriculum Framework, across the multiple learning areas. These lessons are designed to scaffold student learning and build on what was learnt in the previous lesson. This project allows students to develop their creativity and build on existing technological skills.

The reason behind our lesson plans is to encourage a higher order of thinking among students, to make them think critically and outside the box. The ICT skills of the students are also a focus as we wish to develop a further understanding of how to use technology in an educational way. We have taken a constructivist approach to learning because students gain a deeper understanding through doing things rather than listening to a teacher talk at them.
