The NCCA ICT Framework, Key Skills and SLSS Professional Development for Teachers
The NCCA ICT framework offers a structured approach to using ICT in curriculum and assessment by identifying appropriate types of teaching and learning with ICT (including knowledge, skills and attitudes).
This workshop will critically analyse teaching and learning in the context of the ICT framework. The NCCA in conjunction with the SLSS has developed exemplars which illustrate good practice across the curriculum. These exemplars are set in the context of the framework and the subject syllabuses and are available on www.action.ncca.ie.
The materials are designed to be used with teachers to help them implement new strategies using ICT as recommended in the Inspectorate report on the use of ICT in schools (2008).
