Convergence

has been defined as the

bringing together of industries in the
communications area, which were
previously viewed as separate or distinct
in both the commercial and technological
sense. Moreover it allows the ability for
one or different networks to carry
different services.

Learning Objective: To identify the national heroes in St.

Lucia. (Grade 4)
Two forms of media that can be used to teach my Social
Studies lesson include the Television and Computer.
As part of my introduction to the lesson, students will view
a video presentation about national heroes in St. Lucia.
After viewing the video on the television, students will be
asked to choose one hero mentioned and find information
on the computer about the hero they have chosen. They will
do a write-up about the hero and shared their information
with the class.
