| | + | ''- An online course for teachers from KV schools'' |
| | + | |
| | + | visualise the transaction |
| | + | |
| | + | = 1.Context of the course = |
| | + | * Computing is becoming an increasingly important skill of today‘s world |
| | + | * There are a variety of digital tools that are available for supporting mathematics learning as well as for building computing skills |
| | + | * Teachers need to exand their PCK with approrpiate integration of technology – why teach math as if computers don‘t exist |
| | + | * Possible for the KV to become model sites for digital learning and digitally enabled learning |
| | + | * Proposed as a blended program which will include a self-paced (but finite) online course which will be combined with a face to face interaction; certification at the end of satisfactory completion |
| | + | * An advanced module (proposed) to take forward the learning forward from the initial offering |
| | + | |
| | + | = 2.Objectives = |
| | + | * To create a community of teachers who become experienced in ICT integration in teaching learning |
| | + | * To create a resource pool among KV institutions on ICT integration in classrooms |
| | + | * To create OER for mathematics (and science) teaching learning |
| | + | * To demonstrate an online platform and course delivery for CPD for KVS teachers |
| | + | |
| | + | = 3.How is the course structured = |
| | + | * An online course spread over 5 weeks |
| | + | * Participants will get a certifcate upon satisfactory completion of the online module |
| | + | * Participants can complete the course at their own pace |
| | + | * Learning resources include videos, digital artefacts using different educational tools, discussion forums, quizzes, |
| | + | * On a LMS where all resources will be structured and arranged for the teachers to progress through the course |
| | + | |

| | + | * later |
| | + | * see videos, webinars |
| | + | * quizzes |
| | + | * check list of activities |
| | + | * assessments |
| | + | * PDL |

| | + | = 5.Unit 1 – Introduction to concept mapping = |
| | + | |
| | + | == 5.1Content outline == |
| | + | * Mapping of concepts – why? How is it useful in the case of mathematics? |
| | + | * Introducing a tool for developing concept maps |
| | + | * Mapping the mathematical concepts – with hierarchies, connections and learning activities |
| | + | * How do we build assessments to reflect this kind of learning? |
| | + | |
| | + | == 5.2Participant activities == |
| | + | * Map the concepts associated with different topics being taught from Class 6-10 (in the online course, we will focus only on Geometry, other units can be taken up in the face-to-face interaction) |
| | + | * Map the prior skills, related concepts and follow-up |
| | + | * The concept maps – developed individually and in groups (state-wise) and will be uploaded on the discussion forum for feedback |
| | + | * The group collectively curates the concept maps and this develops the basis for lessons to be developed using Geogebra |
| | + | * Concept maps are discussed in the discussion forum |
| | + | co construct and review the mm |
| | + | |
| | + | == 5.3Resources == |
| | + | * Using concept mapping for learning |
| | + | * NROER object collections of concept maps |

| | + | |
| | + | == 5.4Estimated time == |
| | + | * 8 hours |
| | + | * While participants can work at their own pace, since there is a group curation involved, there will be a common deadline agreed upon by which groups will complete their work |
