ICT Week - Concept Note and Plan Objectives As part of the STF programme and ICT integration with the classrooms, the concept of an ICT week was discussed. In parallel, ITfC has also identified 5 schools for intensive work to integrate ICTs into all aspects of school functioning. In line with both of these initiatives, an ICT week has been planned in GHS Mallupura, Nanjangud Taluk.

The following are the objectives of this initiative:

1. To build school-wide capabilities in the use and integration of ICTs into teaching-learning processes
2. Explore new and ICT-enabled methods of transacting subjects that cut across subject lines and make learning relevant and contextual to the students
3. Present a model of utilizing the ICT infrastructure in schools for better educational outcomes and administration

Choice of school and classes

GHS Mallupura is one of the schools identified under the NVEQF for building ICT literacy capabilities in students. It is also one of the schools that ITfC has identified for intensive work. GHS Mallupura is an ICT Phase 2 school. Ubuntu has been installed on thin clients and school has an UPS, projector and a camera. However, there is no internet connection at the school.

Proposed Plan

The programme will focus on working with classes 8 and 9. The 3-day ICT programme has the following components:

1. Mapping the school and surrounding using physical methods and comparing it with the satellite maps available of the school and its surroundings 83 students from Class 9 will be divided into 5 groups for this work. The plan will be to work with Class 9 on Day 1 Activities
2. Creating a photo essay of the school, community and landscape 87 students from Class 8 will be divided into 5 groups for this work. The plan will be to work with Class 9 on Day 2 Activities
3. Documentation of community demographics

The students have been asked to collect information about the family - genealogy, occupations and place of living etc, up to three generations before. Students will also compile this and analyse the demographic patterns.

1. ICT Integration into Subject Teaching

Curricular areas for Classes 8 and 9 will be covered using ICT tools and resources. Syllabus topics will be covered using ICTs to enable new methods and approaches of presenting content. We will work with the teachers during the first two days to develop lessons and resources.

Expected Programme Outcomes

1. Creating new teaching-learning experiences using ICTs for students and teachers
2. Introduce ICTs as a new language method of communicating
3. Documentation of the school, the infrastructure, processes and the community on a school wiki
4. Integration of ICTs as a part of the regular teaching-learning and administrative processes of the school

Follow-up Activities

To build a practice of ICT integration, it is necessary to extend this programme further. A follow up programme is tentatively being planned for the month of February. Between this programme and February, teachers should make a plan for to use multiple resources for teaching and topic in the syllabus.

The following are the extensions being planned:

• Building a map of the community and contributing to the Open Street / Wikimapia open maps
• Video recordings and documentaries of people from the community
• Building from the demographic data, constructing a historic account of the people from the community
• Image and video editing (as part of the drawing curriculum)
