− | Dear Friends,

− |
| |
− | ''Department of State Educational Research and Training''
| |
− | (DSERT), Karnataka in order to promote the effective use of
| |
− | Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is providing high
| |
− | schools with ICT facilities under the [[ICT@Schools]]
| |
− | programme.
| |
− | | |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | To facilitate effective integration of ICTs into teaching-learing, we
| |
− | have also developed a resource book for use by the teachers and
| |
− | students. This resource book has two parts - computer
| |
− | literacy skills and computer aided learning. The section on
| |
− | computer literacy introduces the learners to various aspects of the
| |
− | computer, the use of internet and different methods of creating
| |
− | documents in the form of in text documents and mind maps. The

− | We have approached this exercise with two broad objectives of
| |
− | integrating the computer lab into the school education process and | |
− | enabling the use of computer as a curricular resource. We have | |
− | attempted to put together this resource book based on the | |
− | recommendations of the National Curriculum Framework (2005). The | |
− | textbook has received inputs from the high school teachers who
| |
− | participated in the Subject Teacher Forum programme of DSERT and
| |
− | Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA).
| |
− | | |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | The objective of the high school
| |
− | textbooks is to enable teachers and students to acquire a positive
| |
− | mindset about the use of computers for their learning and daily life
| |
− | and also develop a working knowledge of computers and the ways of
| |
− | using them to represent information. It
| |
− | is my hope that every teacher will be able to start using the
| |
− | computer lab in the schools effectively for their own growth and for
| |
− | the classroom teaching – learning processes. Please do share your
| |
− | experiences in using this book. Your feedback is welcome.
