160 ICT IN SCHOOLS A HANDBOOK FOR TEACHERS Organizing and presenting information, the creative and artistic recording of human impressions and transcribing interviews are some core elements of artistic and social science projects. In many cases, a project does not necessarily include every stage. For example, a design project need not actually be built, even in a physical model form, for the preparatory work to be rich and motivating for students. Sometimes the final result is a model on the computer screen; sometimes the important step is a discussion that leads to a new element in the project’s future shape. Providing support to the school and community It is well known that among middle and high school students you can find highclass experts in ICT. The challenge is to cultivate the ever-expanding circle of such gurus and to use them productively for themselves, the school, and the local community. A much more serious challenge is to prepare the school, the parent body, and the community for students’ new roles. For example, in many cases it is worthwhile to exploit ICT belonging to the school after hours, when all formal lessons and informal school activities are over. A question then is whether we can trust students to keep order in the computer lab and support local citizens coming to use the computers.
All these decisions and changes should therefore include a strong organizational, social, and psychological component. For example, a special course for students on how to help computer-reluctant teachers and to empower and encourage them to use computers in the classroom can be an important component in transforming school practice. Main advantages of ICT In creating this new teaching and learning environment, ICT offer numerous advantages and provide opportunities for: • facilitating learning for children who have different learning styles and abilities, including slow learners, the socially disadvantaged, the mentally and physically handicapped, the talented, and those living in remote rural areas; • making learning more effective, involving more senses in a multimedia context and more connections in a hypermedia context; and • providing a broader international context for approaching problems as well as being more sensitive response to local needs.
