PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS ON HOW ICT<br />
CAN ENHANCE CROSS-CURRICULAR LESSONS<br />
The following is a list of ideas that can be used with different ICT resources.<br />
This list is certainly not exhaustive as the possibilities are endless.<br />
Multimedia - Powerpoint Presentations across all subjects created by groups<br />
or individuals incorporating images (created by pupils, images found from the<br />
internet, images uploaded from digital cameras) and also sound files (again<br />
from the internet or made by the pupils). Presentations can also be prepared<br />
by the teacher to support their teaching and presentation of the subject or use<br />
presentations already prepared by others.<br />
Emails – to pupils in other classes or other schools across the world.<br />
Music – software, electronic keyboard, tape recorder. Composing music for<br />
a given text such as the pupil’s own story or a piece of music to accompany<br />
a journey through space or a given time period.<br />
Databases – geography, mathematics, Discovery of the World. Pupils can<br />
create their own databases after undertaking surveys and then manipulate<br />
the data using different criteria that they devise themselves. This supports the<br />
pupils’ enquiry skills.<br />
Art & Design – Escher, tessellating shapes (mathematics). Pupils can work<br />
on paper and then recreate their tessellating images easily on a computer<br />
program. Create a self-portrait using a paint program or manipulate digital<br />
images uploaded from photographs taken by another pupil. Communicate<br />
ideas about themselves and develop appropriate vocabulary.<br />
Digital Microscope – there are many opportunities when images can<br />
be projected onto the wall for all the class to see. Examples include the<br />
investigation of the qualities of natural and manufactured materials; looking<br />
at a seed, looking at mould etc.<br />
