Induction Program for Teachers 2019
Preface
The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Elementary and Secondary Education Department (E&SED)
successfully launched and completed Phase-1 of the Induction Programme in 2018-19 for newly
recruited teachers. Positive feedback from the stakeholders encouraged E&SED to continue the
practice of offering induction programme to newly hired teachers.
The quality education issues that were identified before IP-phase-1 and the assumption that the
beginning teachers were likely to lack significant professional competencies and content knowledge
were confirmed in pre-test. Moreover, after completion it was evident in the results of the trainee
teachers that the identified gaps were, to a greater extent, bridged. Hence, it was safely concluded
that the Induction Program proved instrumental in addressing the newly recruited teachers’ challenges
in terms of their content clarity and pedagogical skills.
Indepth analyses of the data from IP-Phase-1 highlighted that trainee teachers still lacked pedagogical
underpinnings of the teaching and learning process. The learnings from phase-1 were incorporated in
designing IP-Phase-2. Consequently, content and design were amended to adapt to the emerged
requirements. One of them was insertion of a 50-day face-to-face sessions of Foundational Courses
including Curriculum and Instructions, Educational Psychology, Assessment, School Organization, ICT,
and Teaching of subjects. These courses are selected due to their importance and proximity to teaching
and learning.
ICTs are playing a significant role in changing and modernizing methods of teaching and learning
processes in educational institutes. This course module has been designed for the facilitators to
facilitate trainee teachers to understand, learn and use ICT skills in their classrooms. Through reflective
practice and variety of teaching strategies, it is hoped that the trainee teachers will be in better
position to apply ICT skills with fidelity. This module consists of 24 session plans of 2 hours each. So, in
total there will be 48 hours of instruction time.
I truly appreciate the content developers whose untiring efforts resulted in a quality document, which
certainly will prove to be a stepping-stone towards the improvement in the training of teachers.
Furthermore, I would like to thank Director DCTE and his review team for their valuable input in helping
us improve and finalize this important resource for the development of teachers.
This document has been made possible with the support of Department of International Development
– DFID through Technical Assistance from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Sector Program (KESP)
managed by Adam Smith International (ASI).
I sincerely hope that this module will give you required skills and knowledge necessary to deliver the
training effectively. I wish you good luck!

HANDOUTS
Handout 1.1
The Misconceptions of ICTs
For many interventions relating and involving ICTs in education, there is a repetitive cycle of technology
in education that goes through hype, investment, poor integration, and lack of educational outcomes.
The cycle keeps spinning only because each new technology reinitiates the cycle. This can only be
prevented with smart instruction maximizing the potential of ICTs and NOT substituting it for teacher.
Point to be noted is that a blind faith in technology would not help improving access and quality of
education.
It’s a misconception that effects of ICTs are definite. Technology does not and cannot cure all
the education ills. This should be reminded that ‘Technology’ is only a tool. Quality instruction
can only be guaranteed if the teacher is good. Technology is not a shortcut to good education,
it cannot substitute a good teacher; no technology can fix a bad educational philosophy or
compensate for bad practice. In fact, if we are going in the wrong direction, technology will
only get us there faster.
Likewise, technology is used for distance learning, is not about distance, it is about learning.
Just as we can have bad education face to face, we can have bad education at a distance.
Similarly, if teaching is demonstrating and telling, and if learning is memorizing and reciting,
using learning technologies and multimedia programs for this purpose will not have the desired
impact. Also, if students are not asked to search and work collaboratively, and if teachers
function independently, investment in connectivity will not be cost effective.
Delivering a lecture on use of ICTs in education during teacher-training would not enable
teachers to ‘use’ ICTs in education. Like all other teaching strategies, only delivering a lecture
on use of ICTs in education wouldn’t work. So what would work? Purposeful use of ICTs should
be integrated in the training sessions.
ICTs do not mean computers and Internet. Under pressures to be fashionable and adopt the
latest educational innovations, the temptation is to limit ICTs to the Internet and exclude other
powerful low-end to middle-range technologies such as radio, television, and print. These
technologies use reception equipment that is readily available in homes, have proven to be
effective and inexpensive in packaging high-quality educational materials, reach “unreachable
clientele,” and overcome geographical and cultural hurdles.

Handout 1.2
What are ICTs and what types of ICTs are commonly used in education?
ICTs stand for information and communication technologies and are defined, for the purpose of this
primer, as a “diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, and to create,
disseminate, store, and manage information.” These technologies include computers, the Internet,
broadcasting technologies (radio and television), and telephones.
In recent years there has been a rapidity of interest in how computers and the Internet can best be
utilized to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of education at all levels and in both formal and
non-formal settings. But ICTs are more than just these technologies; older technologies such as the
telephone, radio and television, although now given less attention, have a longer and richer history as
instructional tools. For instance, radio and television have for over forty years been used for open and
distance learning, although print remains the cheapest, most accessible and therefore most dominant
delivery mechanism in both developed and developing countries. The use of computers and the
Internet is still in its infancy in developing countries, if these are used at all, due to limited
infrastructure and the attendant high costs of access.
Moreover, different technologies are typically used in combination rather than as the sole delivery
mechanism. For instance, the Kothmale Community Radio Internet uses both radio broadcasts and
computer and Internet technologies to facilitate the sharing of information and provide educational
opportunities in a rural community in Sri Lanka.
Types of ICT Tools Education
Information and Communication Technology consists of various tools and systems that can be
exploited by capable and creative teachers to improve teaching and learning situations. The
classification of ICT tools is as follows:
1) Informative tools - Internet, Network Virtual Drive, Intranet systems, Homepage, etc.
2) Suiting devices - CD-ROM, etc.
3) Constructive tools - MS Word, PowerPoint, FrontPage, Adobe Photoshop, Lego Mindstorm, etc.
4) Communicative tools - E-mail, SMS, etc.
5) Collaborative tools - discussion boards, etc. forum
The five categories of ICT tools listed above are discussed in more detail under the following headings.
Informative Tools
Informative tools are applications that provide large amount of information in various formats such as
text, graphics, sound, or video. Examples include tools and information resources of the existing
18 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
multimedia encyclopedia of the Internet. The Internet is a huge electronic database, and researchers
consider the Internet as the most significant ICT tools in e-learning environments.
Situating Tools
Situating tools is a system that lay the students in the environment where it involves a context and
the occurrence of a situation. Examples of such systems include simulation, virtual reality and multi-
user domain. Situating tools software tools such as CD-ROM. CD-ROM offers hypermedia application
which gives better opportunities for teachers to enhance learning environment. Hypermedia
application covers more than one of the following media such as text, audio, graphic images (still
images), animation and video clips. Hypermedia applications are well integrated in the learning
environment to enhance student autonomy and thinking.
Constructive Tools
Constructive tool is a general purpose tool that can be used to manipulate information, construct their
own knowledge or visualize students understanding. Construction tools such as Microsoft Word or
PowerPoint has a strong impact in the educational environment and is widely used in most
organizations in the form of memos, reports, letters, presentations, record routine information, giving
businesses the most. In learning a second language, Microsoft Word manages to help students to make
correct sentences and texts as well as modern word processors include spell checking and dictionaries
and grammar checkers. Therefore, teachers can use the software to promote writing in the curriculum.
PowerPoint is a presentation graphics program packaged as part of Microsoft Office for Windows or
Macintosh. Although generally used for developing business presentations, it is also very advantageous
in the context of increase creativity among students. While word processing program is the most
common computer applications used, as a spreadsheet like Excel is just as important in teaching and
learning of English. Students will be exposed to learning design and statistical data using the Excel
program that can be automated through the formula.
Communicative Tools
Communicative tools are systems that allow easy communication between teachers and students or
between students outside the physical barrier classroom. It is including e-mail, electronic bulletin
boards, chat, teleconference and electronic whiteboard. Synchronous communicative tools such as
chat or video conference enable real-time communication while using the tools of communicative
asynchronous (eg e-mail and electronic whiteboard) is a system in which exchange of messages
between people are not 'live' but somehow delayed. Utilization of electronic mail is increasing day by
day. E-mail is the most commonly used on the Internet. It is easy to use as it is a primarily text-based
system and simple communication tool for teachers and students that allow students to dominate
class beyond physical barrier.
19 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
Collaborative Tools
Collaboration tools of ICT is currently the focus of much interest and emerging as development of new
tools that make online collaborative projects draw a realistic option for a distributed group work.
Internet can be used for many collaborative activities such as meetings; discussions are taking place,
working in the document, information dissemination, and other tasks. Interactive electronic
whiteboard is not just used as tools for meeting and development, but recently became the most
popular tool among teachers. Whiteboard is an electronic device that interfaces with the computer
where the computer image is displayed on the board that can be manipulated interactively. This tool
is increasingly popular with teachers, when used in conjunction with a computer and a video projector
that produces interactive learning community. Instead of having to crowd around one or two
computers, interactive whiteboard not only display the materials, but also to respond to human
interaction with computer commands and orders on a touch screen.

Induction Program for Teachers 2019
This is a part of a growing international movement focusing on the skills required for students
to master in preparation for success in a rapidly changing, digital society.
Many of these skills are also associated with deeper learning, which is based on mastering
skills such as analytic reasoning, complex problem solving, and teamwork.
These skills differ from traditional academic skills in that they are not primarily content
knowledge-based.
Instructions/Activities

28 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
Learning creativity as a skill requires someone to understand that “the way things have always been
done” may have been best 10 years ago — but someday, that has to change.
Collaboration means getting students to work together, achieve compromises, and gets the best
possible results from solving a problem.
Collaboration may be the most difficult concept in the four C’s. But once it’s mastered, it can bring
companies back from the brink of bankruptcy.
The key element of collaboration is willingness. All participants have to be willing to sacrifice parts of
their own ideas and adopt others to get results for the company.
That means understanding the idea of a “greater good,” which in this case tends to be company-wide
success.
Finally, communication is the glue that brings all of these educational qualities together.
Communication is a requirement for any company to maintain profitability. It’s crucial for students to
learn how to effectively convey ideas among different personality types.
That has the potential to eliminate confusion in a workplace, which makes your students valuable parts
of their teams, departments, and companies.
Effective communication is also one of the most underrated soft skills in the United States. For many,
it’s viewed as a “given,” and some companies may even take good communication for granted.
But when employees communicate poorly, whole projects fall apart. No one can clearly see the
objectives they want to achieve. No one can take responsibility because nobody’s claimed it.
Without understanding proper communication, students in the 21st Century will lack a pivotal skill to
progress their careers.
But the four C’s are only the beginning. 21st Century skills also require students to understand the
information that’s around them.
Category 2: Literacy Skills (IMT)
Literacy skills are the next category of 21st Century skills.
They are sometimes called IMT skills, and they are each concerned with a different element in digital
comprehension.
Information literacy: Understanding facts, figures, statistics, and data
Media literacy: Understanding the methods and outlets in which information is published
Technology literacy: Understanding the machines that make the Information Age possible
Information literacy is the foundational skill. It helps students understand facts, especially data points
that they’ll encounter online.
More importantly, it teaches them how to separate fact from fiction.
29 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
In an age of chronic misinformation, finding truth online has become a job all on its own. It’s crucial
that students can identify honesty on their own.
Otherwise, they can fall prey to myths, misconceptions, and outright lies.
Media literacy is the practice of identifying publishing methods, outlets, and sources while
distinguishing between the ones that are credible and the ones that aren’t.
Just like the previous skill, media literacy is helpful for finding truth in a world that’s saturated with
information.
This is how students find trustworthy sources of information in their lives. Without it, anything
that looks credible becomes credible.
But with it, they can learn which media outlets or formats to ignore. They also learn which ones to
embrace, which is equally important.
Last, technology literacy goes another step further to teach students about the machines involved in
the Information Age.
As computers, cloud programming, and mobile devices become more important to the world, the
world needs more people to understand those concepts.
Technology literacy gives students the basic information they need to understand what gadgets
perform what tasks and why.
This understanding removes the intimidating feeling that technology tends to have. After all, if you
don’t understand how technology works, it might as well be magic.
But technology literacy unmasks the high-powered tools that run today’s world.
As a result, students can adapt to the world more effectively. They can play an important role in its
evolution.
They might even guide its future.
But to truly round out a student’s 21st Century skills, they need to learn from a third category.
Category 3: Life Skills (FLIPS)
Life skills are the final category. Also called FLIPS, these skills all pertain to someone’s personal life,
but they also bleed into professional settings.
Flexibility: Deviating from plans as needed
Leadership: Motivating a team to accomplish a goal
Initiative: Starting projects, strategies, and plans on one’s own
Productivity: Maintaining efficiency in an age of distractions
Social skills: Meeting and networking with others for mutual benefit
Flexibility is the expression of someone’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
30 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
This is one of the most challenging qualities to learn for students because it’s based on two
uncomfortable ideas:
1. Your way isn’t always the best way
2. You have to know and admit when you’re wrong
That’s a struggle for a lot of students, especially in an age when you can know any bit of information
at the drop of a hat.
Flexibility requires them to show humility and accept that they will always have a lot to learn — even
when they’re experienced.
Still, flexibility is crucial to a student’s long-term success in a career. Knowing when to change, how to
change, and how to react to change is a skill that’ll pay dividends for someone’s entire life.
It also plays a big role in the next skill in this category.
Leadership is someone’s penchant for setting goals, walking a team through the steps required, and
achieving those goals collaboratively.
Whether someone’s a seasoned entrepreneur or a fresh hire just starting their careers, leadership
applies to career.
Entry-level workers need leadership skills for several reasons. The most important is that it helps them
understand the decisions that managers and business leaders make.
Then, those entry-level employees can apply their leadership skills when they’re promoted to middle
management (or the equivalent). This is where 21st Century skill learners can apply the previous skills
they’ve learned.
It’s also where they get the real-world experience they need to lead entire companies.
As they lead individual departments, they can learn the ins and outs of their specific careers. That gives
ambitious students the expertise they need to grow professionally and lead whole corporations.
Leadership alone isn’t enough to get ahead though.
True success also requires initiative, requiring students to be self-starters.
Initiative only comes naturally to a handful of people. As a result, students need to learn it to fully
succeed.
This is one of the hardest skills to learn and practice. Initiative often means working on projects outside
of regular working hours.
The rewards for students with extreme initiative vary from person to person. Sometimes they’re good
grades. Other times they’re new business ventures.
Sometimes, it’s spending an extra 30 minutes at their jobs wrapping something up before the
weekend.

human capacity needs, especially among teachers. Do they need greater subject area
knowledge or help with new instructional strategies?
2) Research uses of ICT including, and other than, computers: Gather information about how you
might use desktops, laptops, handheld digital devices, and Internet access to meet the needs
of your target audience. Beyond researching computers, also consider opportunities for using
radio, television, or video-based instruction using DVD players. Many countries have found
these latter technologies to be more useful, particularly where computers are not available or
cannot be connected with global networks. Also, investigate technologies from the perspective
of their potential to cater to individual learners with varying abilities and levels of access.
3) Invest in needs-based and best practice ICT models: Develop a minimum needs based
approach to building technology capacity at the District, Union Council, and School levels.
Establish model resource centres and technology clubhouses to serve areas where there are
insufficient schools and economically underprivileged areas.
1.2. Focus Areas
Geophysical Barriers: Use a number of technology-based alternatives where schools are inaccessible.
ICT works well where educational opportunities are limited due to Geophysical problems and/or lack
of schools. The following ICT approaches can be used to overcome geophysical barriers: Open and
Distance Learning (ODL): Equip community centres with televisions and computers that have Internet
facilities, so that local people can access information and benefit from on-line instruction. Pakistani
educational institutions like the Allama Iqbal Open University and the Virtual University are already
making use of innovative ODL techniques. The scope of ODL approaches can be extended to the areas
of education as yet untouched by them.
Educational Television (ET): Establish viewing centres where televisions are otherwise not widely
available and combine the hardware with ODL approaches. This will ensure that educational
programmes are available in remote areas in the form of video-based training (via Internet, satellite,
VCR/television, or DVDs). Allow students and teachers to “see and learn” by observing others in action.
They can also benefit from activities and virtual field trips that present rich content as practicable,
procedural knowledge.
Radio Instruction (RI): Use interactive radio instruction (IRI) to facilitate instruction for groups of
students when qualified teachers are not available. Also, utilize IRI to provide on-going professional
development and support to help teachers practice student-centred techniques in their classrooms.
One can also use non-interactive radio programmes to mobilise communities and to provide on-going
access to students and adults who might not be able to attend formal schools for social, economic, or
37 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
physical reasons. Radios are ubiquitous throughout Pakistan in both rural and urban sectors, and a
“free to air” educational broadcast can reach a large population.
Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI): Offer computer-based training either in ODL format or locally,
via standalone applications. One can use CAI to upgrade teacher qualifications and provide access to
rich content. CAI can also standardise assessment and allow teachers and students to network,
exchange, and learn from peers in different geographic locations. Context-Based Differences: Use ICT
creatively to assist teachers and students with a wide range of abilities and from varied socio-economic
backgrounds. Cost-effective technologies for children with special needs—blind, deaf, and physically
handicapped learners—exist and should be used in the public and private school settings in Pakistan.
Similarly, ICT can help overcome gender bias, age, financial status, and other social or cultural factors
that might otherwise impede access to quality educational services.
ELEMENT 2: Apply ICT to Strengthen the Quality of Teaching and Educational Management
2.1. Description:
The quality of any system is only as good as its human resources. To improve education in Pakistan,
the needs of our teachers, head teachers, and administrators must be addressed holistically. ICT can
enhance teaching quality by supporting and reinforcing the use of innovative teaching practices. It can
allow educators to access a wide array of materials, reducing isolation and permitting peer-exchanges.
Administrators can also benefit from ICT by using technology tools to access management resources
and data that can, in turn, strengthen their decision-making processes.
2.2. Focus Areas
Continuous Learning: Maximise opportunities for professional development through IRI, television,
ODL, and on-line resources that provide teachers with access to ongoing professional development
including follow-up support. Such access is particularly valuable for traditionally underserved groups,
such as schools in mountainous and remote areas where face-to-face professional development can
be difficult, if not impossible. Teachers will learn ICT skills as well as how to teach ICT as a subject or
integrate it within the curriculum.
Instructional Practice: Help teachers understand and effectively use innovative instructional
approaches and constructivist techniques. Support them in applying a particular technology in a
learner-centred context by modelling lessons in live classroom situations that other educators can hear
or observe via radio or through taped/broadcasted television modules (on DVD or Web-based TV).
Content Knowledge and Curriculum Support: Distribute CD-ROM-based software (including items
from and links to relevant websites and education portals) to schools, professional development
centres, and teacher training institutions to help pre- and in-service teachers expand their content
knowledge. If appropriately integrated into the existing professional development regimen, these
38 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
resources can help teachers obtain sound content knowledge. Provision of Internet access/CD-ROM-
based software in teacher resource centers can also bring great benefits to teachers.
Local Resource Materials: Provide teachers and educators with the ICT tools that enable them to
produce their own materials in local or regional languages. Teachers can take advantage of ICT skills
to produce customized instructional resource materials that are relevant for them. Where computers
are available in a resource center, teachers can prepare materials, and they can make and share
printouts of essential templates that supplement the traditional text-based methods.
Practitioner Communities: Encourage the use of ICT for professional networking, mentoring, and even
monitoring. By using E-mail, blogs, LISTSERVS, bulletin boards, chat, and on-line learning opportunities,
educators can engage in reflective, analytic learning activities and discussions about specific teaching
practices with national or international colleagues. Furthermore, by placing their thoughts in
distributable media (e.g., on-line, CD-ROM), teachers create an archived body of knowledge that other
scan access.
2.3. Action Recommendations for Stakeholders:
1) View teachers’ professional development as a top priority: Articulate, implement, and routinely
evaluate professional development goals. Both technical knowledge and the ability to integrate ICT
into the curriculum are important. If you are a leader of a provincial focal team for ICT integration,
engage your team in exa shorting how you can use ICT components to augment professional
development and pre-service training.
2) Match ICT selection to teachers’ specific needs: Assess the needs of teachers before deciding which
technology can best address those needs. For example, IRI might be a particularly cost-effective way
of providing regular outreach and support to teachers in remote areas of Pakistan. This ICT could easily
be tailored to upgrade these teachers’ subject knowledge, pedagogical practices, and language
abilities. Once you have assessed teachers’ needs, ICT can further strengthen the “core” areas of
teaching by providing educators with access to experts in their field and the ability to retrieve
resources containing up-to-date curricular and extra-curricular information.
3) Set guidelines for ICT training for teachers: Explore international standards for ICT education for
teachers. You will find resources such as material published by the International Society for Technology
in Education (ISTE) to be very useful. After you have reviewed these materials, adapt the guidelines to
suit local requirements and context
ELEMENT 3: Employ ICT to Enhance Student Learning
3.1. Description
Technology alone is seldom transformational. Rather, ICT requires the active participation of learners,
and the choices of educators determine ICT’s efficacy in the classroom. When used appropriately, ICT
39 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
tools can support educators in promoting critical thinking and analytical skills. They can increase
student motivation and render learning relevant by connecting concepts and theories to real-world
examples. They can also boost deep processing of ideas and free up time for quality classroom
interaction. In sum, technology enables a teacher to improve pedagogy by providing the framework to
create a constructivist, learner-centered environment. For students, technology offers access to self-
paced learning. It provides a chance to explore, investigate, reflect, learn social skills (such as
collaboration, logical reasoning, and creative expression), and enhance self-esteem.
3.2. Focus Areas
Curriculum Enrichment: Review current curricula to determine how appropriate integration of ICT can
enrich primary, secondary, and vocational education. ICT can broaden, deepen, and bring to life
curricular goals and outcomes. For example, students might develop a deeper understanding of linear
and exponential growth by participating in a project-based activity that examines the link between
Pakistan’s post-Independence population and economic growth. Using the Internet to gather
population and economic data, students and teachers could graph these data both numerically and
visually using a spreadsheet application and analyse the relationship between the two.
Supplementary Materials: Use ICT to supplement, enhance, or provide access to content—particularly
when textbooks and supplementary materials are scarce. CD-ROM based content (internationally or
nationally produced) and Web-based activities provide students with access to digital resources and
on-line collections that might otherwise be unavailable. Further, ICT can present content in a manner
that is interactive as well as multimodal. Radio/ audio and TV/video programmes also offer a similar
multichannel approach through dramas, game shows, and interactive lectures.
Alternative Assessment: Find ways to use ICT to adopt more authentic ways to evaluate student work.
ICT tools can help move assessment away from paper/pencil tests to more sophisticated, richer modes
of assessing learning. They can assess higher order thinking skills not easily captured in traditional
forms of testing. They can focus assessment on particular topics, or they can assess students’
comprehension of multiple topics (e.g., through a project that covers numerous subjects). Because ICT
opens up opportunities for self-expression, students can demonstrate depth of understanding through
research projects. Depending upon learner style, ICT can allow for graphic presentations, report
writing, or analytical charts. Performance-based assessment on such projects can measure students’
ability to carry out a real-world task as opposed to grading memorised facts. ICT can also provide for
more frequent assessment.
Instructional Methods: Use ICT to show teachers ways to move away from the whole-class lecture
mode towards more active, student-cantered methods of learning. Teachers can utilize ICT tools in
making learning an engaging, motivating experience for students. An ICT-rich environment can provide
40 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
more independent and collaborative, team-based learning in which students assume greater initiative
and responsibility. To take advantage of the rich opportunities presented by ICT, pedagogical methods
must change, giving students freedom to interact with ICT in ways that promote creativity and
problem-solving.
3.3. Action Recommendations for Stakeholders
1) Reform curriculum guidelines: Set standards for ICT skills that are based on guidelines from
established international bodies, such as ISTE. Review student career tracks in regular and vocational
programmes to develop specific ICT career pathways, and to create appropriate curricula and media-
rich resources. Invest in a broad range of technology options from computers and Internet to radio
programmes and audio-tapes to still cameras for use by teachers and students in different categories
of schools. Ensure that curriculum has scope for integration of all levels of technology into student
projects.
2) Seek and develop content resources: Research learning resources in multimedia formats (Internet
sites, CD-ROMS, audio material, broadcast shows) as well as locally created materials based on MoE
requirements and curriculum guidelines. Ministries, education departments, and district education
offices can establish Limited Area Search Engines—on-line database collections of appropriate content
for use by students.
3) Improve national examination systems: Reform the current system of examinations. The exam
system is one of the greatest impediments to full realization of the kinds of learning that ICT promote.
Instead, align examinations with the outcomes of an ICT-based education. Outcomes-focused
examinations will center on communication, problem-solving, creating, and presenting information in
multiple formats, to multiple audiences, and in real world situations. Some components of testing can
be automated for easy data entry and scoring.
ELEMENT 4: Develop Complementary Approaches to Using ICT in Education
4.1. Description: Developing complementary approaches to ICT in education implies a two-pronged
strategy. Given the strategic goal of mainstreaming ICT into the education system, ICT must be
introduced and used in service of educational goals. However, ICT must also be treated as a school
subject; skills to use ICT tools effectively are a prerequisite for their meaningful use in education.
Focus Areas
Learning about Technology (Information Literacy): Support students in becoming technically literate.
They must know how to use available ICT to find, create, present, and communicate information.
Technology literacy should enable the use of technology to develop higher order thinking skills in which
students are not just users of technology but creators and informed consumers of information.
41 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
Learning through Technology: Integrate ICT tools into classrooms so that their use becomes part of
the learning process in all subject areas. ICT can become a lever to reform and transform education.
However, for this to happen, teachers and administrators must understand how it can help extend and
deepen content learning, curriculum, instruction, and assessment in ways that would otherwise be
impossible.
ELEMENT 5: Build on the Current Experiences of Existing and Successful ICT Programmes
5.1. Description
Planners will need to keep abreast of current developments in ICT for education on an on-going basis.
Pakistan’s ICT efforts can benefit from and build on the experiences of other programmes. Leaders will
want to keep an eye on local initiatives, as well as monitoring current news from thriving economies
with leading-edge technology and research. It will be especially worthwhile to track successful models
of success in developing countries with an infrastructure comparable to that of Pakistan.
5.2. Focus Areas
International and National ICT and Education Best Practices: Take a systematic approach to
researching models of ICT use in education, both in terms of success stories and problems
encountered. Numerous on-line resources are available to provide current information about
examples of ICT in school education around the globe. Some will routinely provide the latest updates
on a periodic (monthly or weekly) basis. In terms of local research, Pakistan has the following ongoing
ICT efforts that planners should study, expand upon, or partner with:
Ministry of Information Technology: Installation of over 1,400 computer laboratories in secondary
schools.
Pakistan Education and Research Network (PERN): A university-level research-based network with a
digital library of on-line resources to serve as a model for collecting and distributing educational
resources (established at the university level).
Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU): College coursework through television and radio broadcasts and
multimedia CD-ROMs.
Virtual University: Distance education coursework. The AIOU is expanding to include Internet-based
instruction to supplement video and audio offerings, whereas the Virtual University has been based
from its very inception on broadcast television coupled with comprehensive interaction over the
Internet.
Intel/ Ministry of Education Teacher Training Programme: Training over 80,000 teachers to use
technology with their students and an additional programme for professional development of
education college faculty teachers.
42 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
Adult Basic Education Society (ABES) and PTV telecast tele-lessons for the adult illiterate and neo-
literates since 1980s. For several decades, ABES has provided programming for homes and also for a
set of two hundred viewing centres established in rural areas.
Sesame Street in Urdu: Educational television broadcast that reaches children and their parents in
homes and child care facilities.
Innovative computer projects by NGOs, such as iEARN—which seeks to network teachers and young
people globally using the Internet—and new technologies to collaborate on projects that enhance
learning and have a social impact. Examples include a global Web school for environmental awareness
(ENO Project), a videoconferencing project for teachers (Global Leap), and an interactive, educational
on-line site that helps students and teachers improve their mathematics skills (Mathematics Virtual
Learning Circle), amongst others. ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN EDUCATION/B.ED. (HONS) ELEMENTARY 72
Scale-Up and Replication of Local Models: Foster a progressive attitude towards pilot-testing new
ideas. Support innovation, seek opportunities to expand and replicate existing projects, and set
standards for evaluating ICT projects. Experts should evaluate local ICT projects, based on established
criteria. Schools (public and private) and community centres should be able to apply for grants for up
scaling projects. Leaders should consider replicating successful projects on a large scale.
ELEMENT 6: Develop Capacity at the Federal and Provincial Department of Education Levels
6.1. Description
There will be organised, ongoing efforts to ensure capacity building at the Federal and Provincial Levels
to help ensure proper planning, management, support, and monitoring and evaluation of ICT
initiatives. It is essential for ICT in education to be organised at the Federal and also the Provincial
levels. In addition to expertise and resources within the MoE, it is vital to have an external body that
can represent the cause of ICT in education and advise the MoE.
6.2. Focus Areas
Establish a Technical Implementation Unit (TIU) for ICT in Education: Set up a specialised unit with
resources, experts, and a clear sense of direction to work at the Federal Level and support the
Provincial Departments. The purpose of the TIU will be to spearhead the integration of ICT in
education, communicating a clear vision and goals and building infrastructure. The TIU will develop
the technical, planning, monitoring, and evaluation capacity of policy-makers, planners, and
administrators at national, provincial, district, and school levels. The TIU will also liaise with teacher
training institutes, oversee the implementation of the NICT Strategy, and support the overall
monitoring of education through the national Education Management Information System (EMIS).
43 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
Establish a National ICT in Education Council: Form a council to assist the nation’s efforts to leverage
technology for improving education. This group of interested stakeholders would come from
educational institutions, private sector corporations, other government agencies, and NGOs.

Importance of computer ethics:
Why do we really need to concern about computer ethics?
To protect personal & commercial information such as login & password info,
Credit card and account information and government and commercial databases.
It also controls unwanted internet mail and ads (Spam).
To control plagiarism, student identity fraud, and the use of copyrighted material, etc.
To make ICT available and accessible to all peoples, including the disabled and the
deprived. Accessibility needs to be kept in mind during curriculum design (in educational
contexts), in order to maximize the capabilities of the technology
To suppress dishonest business practices and to protect and encourage fair competition
To promote moral and social values in society.
Examples of problems that do not follow computer ethics:
There are several types of activities that against the computer ethics:
1. Stealing fund
S via computers.
The one who did this must be very dishonest and criminal person (Evil genius) to manipulate the
computer system and to access into the system.
2. Unauthorized computer entry.
The perpetrator will steal a company's trade secrets and data and then sell it to the competitors. This
activity involves both property and privacy.
3. Hacking.
Any computer-related activity which is not sanctioned or approved by owner of a system or networks.
4. Plagiarism.
Duplicating copyrighted content without the author's approval and take any source without credit to
the original author.
5. Phishing scam
Phishing scams are attempts by scammers to trick people into giving out personal information such as
bank account number, passwords and credit card numbers.

ISLAMISATION
As human beings, one should respect other people privacy and do not take their personal information
for own benefits. As the Prophet SW said (which means): "Have fear of prayer of the people who
mistreated though he/she is kufr because there is no barrier between the prayer with Allah."(Narrated
by Ahmad).

HANDOUTS
Handout 6.1
IRI (Interactive Radio Instruction)
IRI (interactive radio instruction): There is a low-cost educational technology with a long history that
has demonstrated positive impact in many developing countries -- educational radio, which is known
as interactive radio instruction (IRI).
According to a World Bank toolkit published on the topic in 2005,
Interactive radio instruction (IRI) is a distance education system that combines radio broadcasts with
active learning to improve educational quality and teaching practices. IRI has been in use for more than
25 years and has demonstrated that it can be effective on a large scale at low cost. IRI programs require
teachers and students to react verbally and physically to questions and exercises posed by radio
characters and to participate in group work, experiments, and other activities suggested by the radio
program.
Reference: http://blogs.worldbank.org/edutech/iri
What is Interactive Radio Instruction?
Interactive radio instruction (IRI) is an instructional approach that uses one-way radio to reach two
audiences (students and the in-class teacher) and prompts four-way communication:
Radio teacher—in-class teacher
Radio teacher— students
In-class teacher—students
Students—students
The radio “teacher” delivers content and orally directs teachers to apply more interactive instructional
approaches within the classroom. Both the content and activities of the radio program are based on
the national curriculum and use a series of structured learning episodes in which students are
prompted to sing songs, do individual and group work, answer questions, and perform certain learning
tasks. The approach is “interactive” because the radio “teacher” speaks to students and students
respond to radio prompts.
Case Study on IRI for Classroom based teaching and learning:
As in the programme funded by the World Bank to support the Govt. of Guinea, Sous le Fromager is
an excellent example of radio as an effective delivery system for enhancing teachers’ basic content
skills and for helping teachers with little or no instructional skills acquire those skills.
67 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
The radio program is highly structured— the radio “teacher” leads the in-class teacher and students
through a series of activities that direct the in-class teacher’s instructional development. The in-class
teacher assumes a hybrid role—co teaching with the radio teacher and co learning (content, for
example) along with students. Instructional strategies are embedded in the activity and are reinforced
over the course of the academic year through the directives of the radio teacher.
In addition to actual programming, teachers receive instructional materials and detailed teacher
guides to assist them in preparing for and carrying out activities. Teacher guides use text and drawings
to help teachers know what to do before, during and after a radio broadcast.
Sous le Fromager employs three approaches:
Developmental learning
Multichannel learning
Positive and equitable relations between teachers and students: And,
Nine instructional strategies:
Games
Group work
Information processing
Individual work
Application of information
Problem solving
Self-assessment
Project-based work
Critical thinking
How does this system work?
As class begins, the school leader, or more commonly, a student, delivers the radio or audiotape player
(many schools have their own “libraries” of Sous le Fromager broadcasts), placing it on a table in the
front of the room. As the introductory music plays, the changes in student posture and facial
expressions become evident. Students are alert and engaged.
Sous le Fromager consists of two main characters—a man and a woman. The radio characters serve
in effect as “master teachers.” They immediately engage the in-class teacher and students through
greetings them and a series of short statements followed by pauses in which the in-class teacher
restates the activity or follows the radio character’s instructions. The radio teachers explain the
activity, model a typical response to a question, and always direct authority for the activity to the in-
class teacher. (“Madame or Monsieur, please ask a girl to add 12 plus 12.”). All actions originate with
68 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
the radio characters, are carried out by the in-class teacher, and are aim to engage students in the
learning process.
Activities are fast paced (typical IRI broadcasts have 100 responses per 30-minute broadcast) which
helps to increase student engagement, teacher interest and time on task. During the course of one IRI
broadcast, students were engaged in the following learning activities that clearly focus on addressing
students’ multiple learning “styles” (aural, oral, musical, verbal, and written):
Listening to a song about mosquitoes as part of learning the difference between a hard and
soft “s” sound
Singing and dancing to the same song
Individual work/game: Subtracting math problems on their slates. The pace and the tone of
the radio characters gave the exercise a game-like quality
Responding to a series of math problems
Writing French vocabulary words onto their slates
Moving: Clapping once when they heard a number less than 25 and kicking once for a number
greater than 25; placing their hands on desks when they heard the French word for “on” (sur)
and under desks for the French equivalent of “under” (sous).
Activities are punctuated with wait time (instrumental music plays) and songs. Teacher training
strategies are explicit (“Madame or Monsieur, walk to the middle of the room….ask a female student
to respond.”). The teacher does not need to consider how she will organize learning; the radio does it
for her.
Sous le Fromager, in addition to providing teachers with cognitive skills (content and instruction, most
noticeably), the program appears to be highly effective in modeling many positive affective
dimensions of learning, at least as observed during actual classroom episodes of the program. These
include:
Respect toward the teacher: All Sous le Fromager programs invoke teacher participation and
action in every step of the learning process. The in-class teacher is very much a co-instructor with
the radio instructor.
Respect toward girls: The radio instructor reminds in-class teachers to call on girls, with the result
that there is a distinct pattern of boy-girl responses in IRI classes. Additionally, the male and female
radio characters speak for equal amounts of time and address one another as equals. The content
and tone of language do not place women in stereotypical gender roles. This is quite important in
regions where girls suffer from extreme gender stereotyping and where boys’ education if favored
over that of girls.
69 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
Respect toward students: The tone of radio broadcasts is one of respect. Students are commended
for correct answers, for their hard work, and the in-class teacher is instructed to praise students
for their effort. EDC staff has reported that, prior to Sous le Fromager, teachers frequently hit
students when they gave incorrect answers. EDC staff claims that this behaviour has abated since
the introduction of the FQEL project.
Enjoyment of Learning: In addition to respect, good manners, and equitable interaction, the
program makes learning fun for both teachers and students.

Impact of Sous le Fromager within the Classroom
The Sous le Fromager has had a positive impact in a number of specific EFA-related as well as general
educational areas:
Improved Teacher Content Knowledge: In interviews conducted for this case study, when asked
how Sous le Fromager helped their classroom practice, teachers almost always first cited the
improvement in their own content skills. As an example, in one Conakry primary school, several
teachers commented that the radio lesson just observed (which focused in part on helping students
understand the distinction between the French prepositions “sous” and “sur” (“under” and
“on/over”) had actually helped them understand these same concepts.
Increased Student Attendance Rates: Principals, teachers and FQEL staff interviewed for this case
study report that school attendance increases on “radio days.”
Increased math and French language ability in grades two, four and six, as indicated via data
derived from pre- and post-test comparisons.
Improved Teacher Quality: DSEE, FQEL staff, administrators and teachers themselves interviewed
for this case study report an increase in more active learning strategies as a result of Sous le
Fromager. EDC staff reports that teachers generally take a more developmental approach toward
learning—focusing now on providing smaller amounts of information over several days, rather
than transmitting a large quantity of knowledge in one class period.
Based on interviews with FQEL staff and with teachers themselves, it appears that the shift toward a
more active pedagogy has had a cumulative effect with teachers transferring some of the skills learned
in “IRI classes” to “non-IRI classes.” When prompted by the interviewer, for an example of this
transference, one sixth grade teacher reported that, as a result of Sous le Fromager, he set up a project-
based activity for students in which they created a water filtration system.
Changing Teacher Attitudes اnd Roles: EDC staff and one of the project’s evaluators report that
though at first quite resistant to using IRI, teachers are now generally receptive toward and
enthusiastic about Sous le Fromager and the instructional changes that accompany its use. Two
male teachers interviewed for this case study admitted to initial resistance on their part but both
claimed to enjoy using IRI as part of instruction and credited it with improving their teaching.
Standardization of instruction and teaching materials and, where students can receive a radio
signal, equal access to content and instruction
75 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
Benefits to Rural Students: An evaluation conducted by Creative Associates reveals that Sous le
Fromager has had a particularly positive impact on the French and math abilities of rural students,
who comprise 80 percent of the Sous le Fromager audience.
Radio and EFA Goals: Access, Quality and Instruction
IRI helps to address the three large issues facing Guinean education—access, teacher quality and
instructional quality, supporting Guinea’s efforts to attain Education for All goals.
1. Access and Quality. Sous le Fromager helps to address Guinea’s teacher education “gap.” As its
gross primary school enrolment rates have increased from 56 percent to 80 percent, the country
faces an annual teacher shortage of 1600 to 2000 teachers. While in the past, teachers needed 13
years of schooling (Grade 10 plus three years of teacher training at an Ecole Normale), that
qualification has been reduced to a simple baccalaureate (12 years of school) followed by a 12
month campus-based pre-service program, and in many areas, even less. Therefore, in-service
teacher professional development is a main thrust of government educational efforts and Sous le
Fromager and face-to-face professional development help with this.
2. Teacher Quality. Sous le Fromager is an example of in-class direct instruction for teachers but the
formal professional development component that accompanies it complements the in-class TPD
experience. While Sous le Fromager scaffolds more active instructional practices and focuses on
teacher content skills and affect (understanding what it is like to be a learner), cercles de
renforcement can help teachers with planning and assessment and provide opportunities for
formal and informal learning. Both in-class radio and cercles de reinforcement can help to address
teachers’ content and instructional skills and provide them with basic teaching skills.
3. Engaging. Sous le Fromager is also an engaging and entertaining program in a country with little
television and few computers. Adults can be heard whistling musical tunes from Sous le Fromager
and students return home with information about the importance of washing one’s hands and
other public health information. Communities have picked up a lot of the recurrent costs of IRI
(batteries, radios, maintenance costs, tapes) and small radio repair shops have sprung up around
primary schools.
4. Addresses Contextual Needs. Most of all, IRI is a form of ICT that best makes sense for a country
like Guinea—a nation with a shortage of teachers with even basic qualifications, a nation with low
teledensity, poor electricity infrastructure outside of Conakry, and school structures that could
never house a computer or television. Radio is portable, wireless (in the original sense of the term),
easy to learn and already part of the technology landscape—indeed, radio is ubiquitous within
Guinea. By building upon a medium with which teachers are familiar,
76 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
FQEL has truly achieved technology integration—a classroom based use of technology in which the
focus is, not on figuring out the tool, but on the knowledge it conveys, and a technology that truly
helps students and teachers learn better and in ways that would be otherwise impossible.
Radio as a TPD Tool
Radio is by no means a silver bullet for building teacher quality—no technology is—and radio certainly
suffers from factors (cost, transmission capabilities) that impact its reach and effectiveness. Yet radio,
and audiotapes, within the context of Guinea, are excellent examples of when ICT should be used in
teacher professional development in environments as taxed as that of guinea. In the case of Guinea,
radio (and audio) make TPD possible—it would be otherwise impossible to reach so many teachers
without radio—and because they make it better. Teachers are provided with in-class instruction and
assistance that is curriculum based, grounded to some degree in learner centered approaches and
active pedagogy, and supplemented by ongoing instruction.
For those considering the use of radio and audio as TPD tools, how and when should they be used?
They should be used in very low resource environments when the goal is to provide the most basic
skills training to unqualified teachers and when these ICT tools can:
Provide Access to Continuous Learning: Radio and audiotape instruction have provided Guinean
teachers with ongoing, sustained, and low cost “anytime-anyplace” access to learning and have
been effective TPD tools and effective follow-up tools helping teachers implement innovations in
their classrooms.
Broaden Exposure to Instructional Practices: Radio and audiotapes have allowed teachers to
experience and create different new instructional practices in their classrooms.
Address Teachers’ Content Knowledge: Through radio, teachers and their students have been
provided content which teachers, which they and FQEL staff claim, have helped improve their
content knowledge.
Promote Reflection about Teaching: Through Pas à Pas, when used as part of professional
development in cercles de renforcement, teachers are exposed to other types of classroom
instruction, listen to discussions around classroom practice, and engage in reflection and discussion
around specific teaching practices. This continuous discussion can (though there is no evidence
that it has) foster learning communities in which teachers share ideas, reflections, and resources.
Provide Curriculum and Content Supports: Radio provides teachers with access to teaching and
learning resources and ideas in French, math and science, which would otherwise be unavailable.
Lend them to Easy Integration within the Classroom: The ultimate goal of any instructional use of
ICT should be integration and IRI achieves this. It is present in the teacher’s classroom (she need
not travel to a computer lab or resource center). It is simple to use—teachers need little training
77 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
in learning how to use or maintain radio, instead focusing their energies on content and
instruction). It serves the curriculum, in fact making curriculum delivery possible. It provides an
observable advantage to teachers and to students, engaging teachers and students in learning, and
providing continuous on-site, and in-class teacher support.
Expanding IRI as a Teacher Professional Development Tool
IRI has been has been primarily directed toward students and yet appears to possess positive teacher
benefits. It is fair to say that benefits could be even more positive if used explicitly as a teacher
professional development approach. Along with print-based materials and a personal intermediary,
radio could be used to teach basic literacy skills to teachers. By altering broadcast lengths, developing
more open-ended questions and building in teacher work time, radio could be used to develop higher
order skills among teachers. It remains to be seen if this will occur once Guinea unveils its new
curriculum, which is supposed to focus on higher order cognitive skills.
The use of radio with more multimodal and visual technologies—Internet-based video, CD-ROM-based
information, computer aided instruction or even computer based Office tools—promises even greater
professional learning opportunities for teachers as the direct instruction of IRI can be supplemented
with actually viewing other teachers’ classrooms, accessing information and lesson plans, practicing
basic literacy and numeracy skills in a computer-based tutorial program, and developing their own
lesson plans. The dual audience direct instruction approach of IRI can also be used with other
professional development approaches listed in the Implementation Briefs. This blending of
professional development approaches can help teachers migrate from basic skills to attaining more
advanced skills in the core areas of teaching—content, instruction, curriculum and assessment.
Challenges Associated with IRI
There are a number of challenges associated with any ICT tool used for TPD— in particular with
broadcast tools. Indeed, the strengths of the broadcast medium are also often its weaknesses. The
weaknesses of IRI are outlined below.
1. IRI is dependent upon on national infrastructure. IRI depends upon government or private radio
transmission for its dissemination to schools and when that is lacking, as during the 20042005
school year in Guinea, IRI (and a substantial portion of TPD) is halted. As noted earlier, Sous le
Fromager was not broadcast on FM radio during the 2004-2005 school year. When broadcasts
resumed in spring 2005 on Radio Rurale (a short wave alternative to the national FM radio)
broadcasts occurred at 1:30 PM, thus bypassing students in the morning shift of school.
Additionally, Radio Rurale’s coverage is limited as a result of its weak transmitters and solar
interference.
78 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
There are ways around this problem. Many schools circumvented the transmission difficulties of
the 2004-2005 school year by previously recording the program and copying, selling or sharing
their Sous le Fromager library with neighboring schools, but audiotapes have proved a more costly
and fragile alternative to radio (Audiocassettes must be purchased and are easily lost or damaged).
INRAP has begun to produce audio kits of Sous le Fromager but thus far only 126 such kits are
available—for 7,000 primary schools.
A possible alternative to the unreliability of broadcasting on a national radio station is the creation
of a dedicated educational radio station which would allow the program to be broadcast several
times a day.
2. Broadcast does not mean access or actual listenership in schools. Even if radio reception is good,
broadcasting IRI does not mean schools and teachers will hear it. Eighty-five percent of Conakry’s
schools are private, employ a very traditional curriculum, and do not utilize Sous le Fromager, thus
limiting listenership in Guinea’s largest population center. In spite of the stated popularity of the
program there is some degree of non-compliance on the part of teachers, particularly older male
teachers. And equipment issues also impede access. The first generation of radios was windup
radios, 40 percent of which broke after 3 years of continuous use. Now on its third generation of
radio distribution, newer windup radios promise to be more durable (the winder cannot be
reversed and thus broken as in first and second-generation windup radios), but if radios are lost
and damaged, schools must purchase their own batteries, radios, and increasingly, cassette
recorders and audiotapes.
3. IRI is vulnerable to the political climate. As Guinea’s difficulties broadcasting Sous le Fromager
illustrate, IRI can be positively or negatively impacted by the political climate in which it operates.
In essence, radio depends upon political good will for its continued operation. This makes teacher
professional development far more vulnerable to external political and macro-economic factors
than is the case with other types of ICT-embedded TPD.
Additionally, like many well-received programs, Sous le Fromager suffers from sustainability
concerns. The program ended in July 2005 and though the Government of Guinea and INRAP have
promised to keep it alive, there is concern about the Government’s capacity to do so, especially
since the program will need to be revised in light of Guinea’s new curriculum, which is set to be
implemented in 2008.
4. IRI is only as good as the curriculum it delivers. At its core, IRI is a delivery mechanism vehicle
through which the national curriculum is conveyed. Guinea’s national curriculum is still quite
teacher-centered and focused on rote learning, and Sous le Fromager reflects much of this
approach, in spite of efforts to the contrary. Every questioned posed by the radio teacher or in-
79 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
class teacher involved a right and wrong answer and questions probed “lower order “skills (recall,
recognition, identification).
5. IRI can still promote watered down instruction. IRI is often termed “learner centered” but such
an interpretation is open to debate. Though FQEL documents report the use of nine instructional
strategies, most activities observed—albeit in a handful of classroom observations—tended to
focus on instructional activities that still could be considered traditional (individual work, whole
class recitation, some pair sharing, students working at the chalk board, some problem solving). In
the continuum of learner-centered and teacher-centered instruction, Sous le Fromager occupies a
middle ground, a transition between a teacher-centered and learner-centered methods. Though
students are more physically active and instruction is differentiated as much, and as feasibly as
possible, in some instances, the program merely replaces the in-class teacher with a radio teacher,
continuing the same dynamic of the teacher as ultimate authority and student as a more passive
participant in his/her learning.
6. IRI does not address teacher literacy issues, which are Guinea’s most pressing teacher need. Most
critically, interactive radio instruction, as implemented right now, does little to address the
greatest need facing Guinea’s teachers—helping them to learn to read—and this was never the
intention of the FQEL project. However, teacher illiteracy and low levels of literacy were cited time
and again in interviews as the most pressing issue facing Guinea’s teachers. Policymakers may wish
to consider whether and how IRI, alone and with other types of ICT and non-ICT-based instruction,
to help teachers build basic literacy skills.
Conclusion:
What are the implications of these critiques for policymakers? First, that radio—like any broadcast
medium—is vulnerable to external forces (politics, federal budgets, transmission capabilities) that
extend beyond the capabilities of ICT for TPD projects.
Next, radio—while an effective TPD tool to help teachers gain the basics in curriculum, content and
instructional skills—soon exhausts its capabilities because of the limitations of largely passive
broadcast media. If teachers are to move beyond basic skills in instruction toward more intermediate
or advanced skills, other types of professional development—with or without ICTs will need to be
employed. If this TPD is to involve ICTs, those technology tools (video, for example) must be used in
concert with TPD approaches that promote more advanced instructional skills.

HANDOUTS
Handout 15.1
Adding Animations
To create a slide that contains animation effects, complete the following steps:
1. Create your slide content first, using text and graphic objects as you normally would. (For
example create a title, a bulleted list, and a piece of clip art on your slide.)
2. Select a first object on your slide that you would like to animate.
3. If the task pane is not currently open. Click Animation schemes on the slide show menu or
Task Pane from the view menu.
4. Click the animation scheme you want to create. PowerPoint immediately adds the animation
you have selected to the slide and runs a preview of the animation (unless the auto preview
checkbox is not selected at the bottom of the task pane window).
5. Continue selecting objects one at a time on your slide and adding animation effects to them.
6. Close the task pane if you like, or keep it open as a handy way to use templates, change
colour schemes, or modify animation.
Tip: In addition to controlling individual animation effects, you can set them for your entire
presentation in one action by switching between animation schemes in the task pane. Give it a try!

Selecting Transitions:
To select a transition, follow these steps to see how it works:
1. Click Normal on the View menu to switch to Normal view, if it is not already selected.
2. On the Slides tab, click one or more slides that you want to change the animation transitions
for. (To select multiple slides, hold Down the Shift key while you click.) Remember that each
slide you select will be given the same transition, so you may want to approach customizing
your presentation by selecting groups of similar slides and assigning them transition type. (The
transition effect appears when the slide is first opened).
3. Click Slide Transition on the Slide Show menu to open the Slide Transition task pane.
4. Select a transition from the task pane and use the other available options to control the speed
and movement characteristics of the transition.
After you specify a transition for a slide, PowerPoint will run a preview of the transition. If you switch
to Slide Sorter View by clicking Slide Sorter on the View menu, you will see that PowerPoint places a
tiny star icon at any time to preview the transition again.
TIP: If you want to apply a new transition effect to all the slides in your presentation, you don’t need
to select all of the slides first. Instead, click the transition you want in the task pane and then click the

Customizing Your Animation
To maintain greater control over how to the text and objects on a slide behave during an animation
sequence; choose the custom Animation category in the task pane, presenting a number of buttons
and animation options.
The large text box in the task pane contains the Animation Order list box, which you can use to set the
order in which the objects on your slide are animated.( For example, you might want to display the
title first to let the viewer’s know what the subject is, a piece of clip art second to plant a visual image
in viewers’ minds, and a bulleted list third to flesh out the image with text.) The task pane also contains
buttons and options that control advanced aspects of the animation sequence you’re customizing:
• The Add effects button lets you set the special effect you see when you run the animation and
the sound you hear while it happens. You can also use the Effects tab to control both how the
textual elements in an animation are grouped together and the order in which they appear.
• The Start drop-down list lets you pick which event will start the animation.
• The Property drop-down list lets you change the characteristics of the selected animation
effect.
• The Speed drop-down list lets you set the speed in which the animation will run.
• The Record buttons (at the bottom of the task pane) let you rearrange the order of the
animation elements you have selected.

HANDOUTS
Handout 17.1
The Electronic mail
More plainly, e-mail is a message that may contain text, files, images, or other attachments sent
through a network to a specified individual or group of individuals.
The first e-mail was sent by Ray Tomlinson in 1971. Tomlinson sent the e-mail to himself as a test e-
mail message, containing the text "something like QWERTYUIOP." However, despite sending the e-
mail to himself, the e-mail message was still transmitted through ARPANET. By 1996, more electronic
mail was being sent than postal mail.
An alternative way of sending and receiving e-mail (and the more popular solution for most people) is
an online e-mail service or webmail. Examples include Hotmail (now Outlook.com), Gmail, and Yahoo
Mail. Many of the online e-mail services, including the ones we mentioned, are free or have a free
account option.
The Email program you use is technically referred to as an Email application or Email client. It's the
program (Outlook, Gmail, or Yahoo, for example) that you've chosen to use to get an Email in the Email
system and on its way.
Your Email client or program, once you log in to it with your username and password takes care of
sending out your messages and downloading messages that have been sent to you.
When you send someone an Email, it leaves your computer and is stored on a computer called an
"Email server," which runs Email server software. When you finish up an Email and hit "Send,"
something called the "mail transfer agent" (MTA) picks up your message and starts it on its way.
Eventually it ends up at the recipient's own MTA.
What is an Email?
What are Hotmail, g-mail, yahoo mail and outlook?
Expected answer, these are free Email services/client through which we send Email

Handout 17.2
Writing an e-mail
When writing an e-mail message, it should look something like the example window below. As you can
see, several fields are required when sending an e-mail:
The To field is where you type the e-mail address of the person who is the recipient of your
message.
The From field should contain your e-mail address.
If you are replying to a message, the To: and From: fields are automatically filled out. If it's a
new message, you'll need to specify the recipients in the To: field, either by selecting them
from your contact list, or manually typing the full Email addresses. If you are manually specify
more than one recipient (as in a group e-mail), the addresses should be separated by a comma
and a space, or by pressing the Tab Key.
The Subject should consist of a few words describing the e-mail's contents. The Subject lets the
recipient see what the e-mail is about, without opening and reading the full e-mail. This field is
optional.
The CC ("Carbon Copy") field allows you to specify recipients who are not direct addressees
(listed in the "To" field). For instance, you can address an e-mail to Aslam and CC Alia and
Arsalan. Although the e-mail is addressed to Aslam, Alia and Arsalan will also receive a copy of
the message, and their addresses will be visible to Aslam, and to each other.
This field is optional.
The BCC ("blind carbon copy") field is similar to CC, except the recipients are secret. Each BCC
recipient will receive the e-mail, but will not see who else received a copy. The addressees
(anyone listed in the "To" field) remain visible to all recipients. This field is optional.
Finally, the Message Body is the location you type your main message. It often contains your
signature at the bottom; similar to a handwritten letter.

HANDOUTS
Handout 18
Google Docs is a data storage online-based service that is offered by Google for free. It allows you to
collaborate with your colleagues while storing and editing data in real time. It has a word processing
application that will let you share memos, articles or any Documents with your team. It includes a
spreadsheet application that enables you to share relevant data such as company reports, budget
proposals and financial statements with your associates. Sharing files is made easier because these
Documents can be accessed by different people simultaneously.
Apart from that, Google Docs also allows you to store any type of files whether an audio file, a picture,
or a word Document.
Personally, I’ve been using Google Docs for years now and I couldn’t remember a downtime, at least
not for me. It has been very helpful to me and with my business as well. Collaboration with my team
with real-time updates made me manage things accordingly and smoothly.
Whenever I need to share a file to my colleagues who are from other parts of the globe, I need not tire
myself of endlessly sending updating Documents to them. I simply make one Docsument and upload
it in Google Docs and share it to my team. I can even limit their access to my Documents. I can set the
“can edit” subscription if I want them to do necessary edits in the Documents I am sharing, or I can
change that to “can view” if I don’t want them to do anything in my files. Here’s a video on how to
maximize Google Docs for your business.
As long as you have the internet connection, you can access your Google Docs files anywhere, any
time. You don’t have to download any software to have access to Google Docs. As long as you have a
Gmail account and a reliable internet connection, then accessing your files wherever you are in the
globe is not a problem because of the high technology cloud system that saves the information.
Just like in any versions of Documents, Google Docs detects misspelled words that you put in your
worksheet. In the tools menu, you will see the spellchecker icon which allows you to check the spelling
of your words.
Google Docs has a feature that will detect whenever you will add a link to your spreadsheet. It
automatically converts a plain text into a link. This saves our time from copying the URL and pasting it
in the browser. With just one click, you will then be redirected to the landing page of that specific link

Background: World Wide Web (www)
The World Wide Web was 'born' in March 1989 and is celebrating its 30th birthday. The World Wide
Web is merely a tool, as is a chalkboard, overhead projector, or VCR. Tools don't teach. When
effectively implemented they assist in the learning process. If learning on the part of the students has
been helped by the use of a tool, then the tool has been used successfully.
Common symbols used in web Address
The table below has common symbols used in web addresses and Email s. Match

though we are the Chrome browser as an example to show these tools, they can be used in almost any
browser.

Induction Program for Teachers 2019
1. Arrow Buttons. These two arrows navigate the browser back (the left arrow) to a previously
viewed webpage or forward (the right arrow) to more currently viewed WebPages. These
buttons can be pushed more than once to cause the browser to go back or forward further to
web pages rendered in a browser session’s history.
2. Refresh Button. This button reloads a webpage. Refreshing will update the information on a
webpage if it has changed. If a webpage has not completely loaded, refreshing will reload the
page so that it completely renders on the screen.
3. New Tab Button. Opens a new page in the same window when selected. This option allows for
many websites to be open but contained within one main window frame. This keeps the desktop
from being cluttered with too many open windows.
a. Minimize Button. Represented by an underscore in the upper right corner of the window.
When minimize, the browser will remain on the taskbar but not be visibly open on the desktop.
b. Maximize Button. Represented by a square in the upper right corner of the window. When
maximized, a browser window will enlarge a window, typically filling the entire computer screen.
c. Close Browser Button. The button in the upper right corner which is an X will terminate a
browser session. This button allows a user to quickly close a browser window when they are
finished surfing the internet. Note: If there are multiple tab windows open a browser it will
usually ask if you want to close all of the tabs before shutting down the browser.
6. Menu Button. In Chrome, the menu is indicated by three vertical dots in the upper right corner
of the browser window (Edge uses three horizontal dots; Firefox uses three stacked horizontal
lines). Once the menu button is selected a dropdown menu will appear.

Hyperlinks
A hyperlink (also called a link) is a section of text, an image, graphic or icon that is linked to a specific
webpage, image, file or object. This is commonly seen in a browser as text, often a blue color.
Once the link is selected, the webpage automatically navigates to the linked webpage, icon, image,
graphic or file. This is one of the main tools used when conducting a search on the web.
Bonus Tool
If you are ever asked by a support technician for the version of your browser, a quick way to discover
your version is to go to this website http://www.whatsmybrowser.org/. It will tell you the browser
type and additional information (like the operating system you are working with on your computer) so
you know how your browser is configured.
Category: C
Now that you are more familiar with web browsers and their navigation, here is an explanation of the
bigger picture about how they work. Watch this video to understand how browsers link you to the
World Wide Web.

Learning Resources: assist students to meet the expectations for learning and are defined by
provincial or local curricula such as texts, videos, software, and internet. Before a learning resource is
used in a classroom, it must be evaluated and approved at either the provincial or local level.
Examples of Web 2.0 Teaching Tools
Online tools and resources have made it easier for teachers to instruct students, and for students to
collaborate with those teachers and with other students and parents. These "Web 2.0" teaching tools
aren't magical, but they may seem to defy definition at times since they save time, help you to stay
organized, and often take up little space on a computer. Some of these applications are Web-based,
which means that they can be accessed from any computer.
The categories are listed in alphabetical order and the links to each tool are also listed alphabetically
within those categories.
Aggregators
The following list includes free tools that you can use to stay on top of current events, including
headlines and blogs.
1. Aggie: Aggie is an open source news aggregator that's also a desktop application. It downloads
the latest news and displays it in a Web page.
2. AWasu: Awasu is a state-of-the-art feed reader that comes loaded with features for both casual
personal use and professional, high-powered information management. Use this tool for
content archiving, coupled with an advanced search engine, and use advanced features to
manage your configurable channels. The personal edition is free to download and use.
202 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
3. Bloglines: This is more of a personal news aggregator than a bookmark tool, but it's
sophisticated and highly useful for teachers who want to stay on top of current events in any
given topic.
4. FeedReader: This is a free reader that is simple to use. It supports podcasts.
5. RSS Reader: This RSS reader is able to display any RSS and Atom news feed (XML)
Bookmark Managers
Bookmark managers make it easy to build a personal directory where researchers can tap into sites
and materials that have been saved online and share them with others in most cases. The following
bookmark managers are free to use, but they all have different angles. In other words, teachers and
professors can do more with these sites than save a page or two.
1. Diigo: Turn your students onto this tool, which works like a bookmark manager with a highlighter
or with sticky notes. This is an ideal way to research for a paper or to create a new project for class.
This site works much like MyStickies, but without Diigo's highlighter.
2. Facebook: While Facebook is a social utility that can connect you with friends as well as with
students, you can also use this tool to bookmark Web sites and specific Internet pages.
3. LinkedIn: Sometimes you just want to get away from the students. LinkedIn provides a way for you
to communicate with your peers instead (or not), and it's also useful for bookmarking.
4. Pinterest: With Pinterest, teachers can organize and share anything from lesson plans, ideas, and
crafts using a virtual bulletin board. Teachers can also use this tool to network with other
educators.
5. Twitter: Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay
connected through the exchange of answers that can be no longer than 140 characters and spaces
per post. Use this tool to help your students stay up-to-date, as you could advertise a Twitter
address that students could use to learn about school projects, reading assignments, and other
announcements. You can also use this tool as a bookmark manager for research.
6. Yahoo! Bookmarks: Yahoo! Bookmarks is not intended to be a social bookmark site like the others.
Instead, it essentially allows you use your personal bookmark list at any computer. In fact, it acts
and feels very much like your browser's built-in bookmark manager.
Classroom Tools
You need tools to help assess class progress. You need tools to help keep students and parents
apprised of the students' progress. You need all sorts of tools, you need them at your fingertips, and
you need them to work efficiently. Some of those tools are listed below.
203 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
1. Animoto: This web tool completely simplifies the creation and sharing of videos. Teachers will
have no trouble creating lesson plans or presentations for students.
2. Charles Kelley Quiz Generator: Create multiple choice or bilingual tests. Though some of the
quizzes generated here can only be used on this website, others can be put on your own
website.
3. Crocodoc: This web tool allows teachers to convert Microsoft Office and PDF documents to
HTML5, making them easily viewable. Teachers can display students' documents in their
browsers and edit as needed.
4. Engrade: Engrade is a free online gradebook that allows teachers to manage their classes online
as well as post grades, assignments, attendance, and upcoming homework online for students
and parents to see. Engrade is free and easy to use. Join over 10,000 teachers, parents, and
students using Engrade today.
5. Frovo: This online pronunciation dictionary comes in handy for foreign language teachers.
Users can hear any word pronounced in any language.
6. Grammarly: Several universities use this tool as a grammar checker. Students can use this as a
method to improve the process of peer editing because it checks for more than 250 points of
grammar.
7. My Project Pages: Built by teachers for teachers, use myprojectpages.com to create structured
online inquiry-based learning activities for the courses you teach that enable your students to
engage in meaningful learning experiences while online.
8. Slideshare: Ok, so you're still with PowerPoint, but you can jazz that presentation up at
Slideshare. This site takes your .ppt file (also works with Open Office and PDF files) so you can
share it with your students (and the world at large). You can add music, embed videos in
comments and more – all for free.
9. Survey Builder: Survey Builder allows you to easily create and manage online surveys suitable
for Internet-based oral history projects, course evaluations, and other endeavors that involve
collecting feedback. You do not need to know how to build a Web page that has forms, set up
a database to store entries, or do any of the other technical tasks that are normally required to
produce interactivity on the Internet.
10. Teacher Planet: Teacher Planet is a one-stop spot for teacher resources. Teachers can
download any number of lesson plan templates, worksheets, ESL-specific resources, and other
tools.
11. Web Poster Wizard: This free tool allows educators to create a lesson, worksheet, or class page
and immediately publish it online.
204 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
12. Yugma: Teachers can use the free web conferencing feature with Yugma and also share their
entire desktop in real-time with one student. This can be extremely helpful in one-on-one
advising with students.
Collaboration
Part of teaching is collaboration. Teachers need to communicate with peers, administrators, and
students. The tools listed below – some free and some for a cost – will help you stay on top of your
projects with ease through open channels for collaboration.
1. Basecamp: Projects don't fail from a lack of charts, graphs, stats, or reports, they fail from a
lack of clear communication. Basecamp solves this problem by providing tools tailored to
improve the communication between people working together on a project.
2. Edmodo: Extremely similar to Twitter, except specifically designed for educators, Edmodo
facilitates collaboration and content sharing among students, teachers, and school districts.
3. FirstClass: Using a personalized Web page as a communication hub, teachers can send
messages to the principal, pick up student assignments, change homework tasks for that
evening, or have students build their own Web pages. First Class will run on a single server with
one administrators for any number of users. This tool is not free.
4. Gliffy: This diagram editor is easy to use, and you can save your work on their servers for free.
Gliffy Online has two ways to make document sharing simple. Collaboration enables others to
see and edit your work by simply entering their Email address. Publishing creates a read-only,
or public, image of your diagram that you can easily embed in a wiki, blog, or other type of web
software.
5. Mindomo: Mindmapping is a highly productive method of visual brainstorming that you can
use to plan projects or to map out a knowledge base. Mindomo has an interface and feature
set that rivals other free standalone mind-mapping applications such as Freemind. Maps are
shareable but require you to register and login to save them.
6. Schoology: Teachers can use this tool to share their instructional resources and connect with
other educators.
7. Skype: Teachers can collaborate on classroom projects while having their students visit a
classroom in another part of the world using the interactive Skype in the classroom. Skype is a
part of Microsoft, and it's free to use.
8. Twiddla: Twiddla is a great way to connect with students or other educators. Through its web-
conferencing capabilities, teachers can brainstorm and share ideas.

Logs: The Use of Weblogs in Education
Category-A
1. What is a blog?
Weblogs are personal web pages written in chronological order and maintained through a specific
software that helps their administrators. Weblogs, commonly referred to as blogs, are similar to an
electronic journal or diary. The writer, known as a blogger, makes periodic entries, sometimes as
frequently as a few times a day.
2. How will you find the blog of your interest?
What distinguishes a blog from other online publications is the periodic updates, usually displayed on
the homepage in reverse chronological order: new entries appear at the top of the page and older
ones are archived according to date. Ask your students for other ways blogs are different from
websites.
3. What kinds of subjects do bloggers write about?
Blogs can be on any subject. Discuss with your students the subjects of blogs they have read, or ask
them to imagine a blog subject that would interest them.
4. How can you find blogs that interest you?
You can use online search tools to find blogs, including search engines like Google or a blog directory.
Category-B
5. How do you start your own blog?
You can start a blog for free by using a service such as WordPress.com or Blogger.com or can created
by following the steps below:
Steps in creating a blog
1. Sign in to Gmail account
2. Click on the right caption “Google apps”
3. Then click on the Blogger
4. Click on “create new blog”
5. Pick a blog name. Choose something descriptive.
6. Get your blog online. Register your blog and get hosting.
7. Customize your blog. Choose a free template and tweak it.
8. Write & publish your first post. The fun part!
9. Promote your blog. Get more people to read your blog.
10. Make money blogging.

Category-C
Benefits of blogs in education
So, you want to increase motivation for reading and writing, improve confidence levels and/or
encourage ICT literacy? Well, regardless of the rationale, blogging is a very powerful learning tool that
can assist teachers and offer the following benefits for education:
Promotes autonomous learning by providing opportunities for students to take more control of
their learning
Motivates students to become better readers and writers.
Promotes discussion among students.
Encourages the use of the Internet and the Web among students (and teachers)
The first and foremost benefit of weblogs in teaching learning is their use as e-learning tools. This
way, the teaching-learning process can continue outside the classroom.
Weblogs help create connections between students with diverse opinions and interests. This
encourages critical thinking and teaches the value of respect towards other students. Points of
view.
Weblogs. Features (linking, replying, and tracking) make easier sharing knowledge and
information.
Discussions in weblogs promote higher levels of thinking, because people can think before
answering back.
Collaborative weblogs support team work and group learning.
Because of its format similar to that of a personal diary, weblogs encourage informal
communication, creativity and self-expression.
Accuracy of project outcomes increases due to the continuous flow of feedback from the teacher
and fellow students from the weblog.
Also, teachers may benefit from the possibility of monitoring projects in real time, thus indicating
improvements before it is too late for the students to incorporate them.
Final grading is faster and easier: instructors are able to review how students have participated
and developed over the course.
For non-computer science students, weblogs provide the chance of learning about web page
creation, hyper linking and other www topics.
Writing in weblogs is attractive in the sense that teens and college students, and people in general,
want an opportunity to share their experiences and feelings, and weblogs provide them with the
chance to do it in an easy, interactive way.
The use of weblogs (new technologies) prepares students better for the current labour market.
212 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
In those courses where there are many instructors and students, weblogs improve coordination
and allow interaction to a far greater extent.
Different instructors and students from different parts can share a weblog and teach and learn
together.

begin the discussion in your neck of the woods!
Category-E
Barriers
Although the barriers to using weblogs are low, bloggers may face difficulties in making the most of
their teaching/learning tool. From our own experience, these are the most outstanding:
Instructors may have difficulty in assessing student participation in the weblog. There are several
indicators to take into account: group grading, individual posting, quality of posts, etc., as well as
subjectivity vs. qualitative appreciations.
The use of technology-based tools may be another barrier. It can be of a structural nature, for instance
lack of computers, or difficult access to the Internet (as happens in Spain where the Internet
connection is quite expensive and slow). Another source of disadvantage would be computer illiterate
users, especially in those countries with a wide digital divide.
Even though most weblogs are hosted in public, free ASPs, learning weblogs should be hosted in
private servers, so that they do not show neither advertisements nor banners (which are the most
common method of ASPs financing).
System administrators tend to be restrictive in installing new software.
If the weblog is public, it may suffer troll infestations, people that intentionally try to cause disruption
by posting messages that are inflammatory, insulting, incorrect, inaccurate, or off topic, with the intent
of provoking a reaction from others.

Introduction of the Session 5 minutes
Introduce the topic of the day: ‘Lesson Plan’ to the trainee teachers.
To gauge the level of the prior knowledge and understanding, ask the trainee teachers
randomly about the essential components of a lesson plan.
Introduce the significance of lesson planning into teaching in the following way:
A lesson plan is a teacher’s detailed description of the course of instruction or ‘learning trajectory’
for a lesson. A daily lesson plan is developed by a teacher to guide class learning. Details may vary
depending on the preference of the teacher, subject being covered, and the needs of the students.
There may be requirements mandated by the school system regarding the plan. A lesson plan is the
teacher’s guide for running the particular lesson, and it includes the goal( what the students are
supposed to learn), how the goal will be reached( the method, procedure) and a way of measuring
how well the goal was reached ( test, worksheets, homework etc.)

HANDOUTS
Handout 22.1
What is worksheet?
A worksheet, in the word's original meaning, is a sheet of paper on which one performs work. They
come in many forms, most commonly associated with children's school work assignments, tax forms,
and accounting or other business environments. Software is increasingly taking over the paper-based
worksheet.
It can be a printed page that a child completes with a writing instrument. No other materials are
needed. It is "a sheet of paper on which work schedules, working time, special instructions, etc. are
recorded. A piece or scrap of paper on which problems, ideas, or the like, are set down in tentative
form." In education, a worksheet may have questions for students and places to record answers.
Usually worksheet consists of:
Multiple choice questions
Matching exercises
Handwriting practice
Coloring pages
Math problems
Fill-in-the-blank book reports
Word searches and crossword puzzles
Copy work
Worksheet in Education
In the classroom setting, worksheets usually refer to a loose sheet of paper with questions or exercises
for students to complete and record answers. They are used, to some degree, in most subjects, and
have widespread use, for example, in the math curriculum where there are two major types. The first
type of math worksheet contains a collection of similar math problems or exercises. These are
intended to help a student become proficient in a particular mathematical skill that was taught to them
in class. They are commonly given to students as homework. The second type of mathematics
worksheet is intended to introduce new topics, and is often completed in the classroom. They are
made up of a progressive set of questions that leads to an understanding of the topic to be learned.
Worksheets are important because those are individual activities and parents also need it. They
(parents) get to know what the child is doing in the school. With evolving curricula, parents may not
have the necessary education to guide their students through homework or provide additional
225 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
support at home. Having a worksheet template easily accessible can help with furthering learning at
home.
Overall, research in early childhood education shows that worksheets are recommended mainly for
assessment purposes. Worksheets should not be used for teaching as this is not developmentally
appropriate for the education of young students.
As an assessment tool, worksheets can be used by teachers to understand students’ previous
knowledge, outcome of learning, and the process of learning; at the same time, they can be used to
enable students to monitor the progress of their own learning.
Worksheet generators are often used to develop the type of worksheets that contain a collection of
similar problems. A worksheet generator is a software program that quickly generates a collection of
problems, particularly in mathematics or numeracy. Such software is often used by teachers to make
classroom materials and tests. Worksheet generators may be loaded on local computers or accessed
via a website. There are also many worksheet generators that are available online. However, original
worksheets can be made on applications such as word or power point.

How to make worksheets for your classroom through PowerPoint!
There will be variations if you have a different version of PowerPoint, but it shouldn’t be too hard to
modify the steps.
Step 1: Open PowerPoint and click “layout.” Select the blank layout.
Step 2: Select “Slide Size” (usually in the Design tab) and set a custom size to your page size.

Step 6: Insert any shapes and lines. You will use the same steps as making a border, but I will show you
how to format it so it is the perfect size and in the right place.
230 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
You got your shapes together, but they’re not in the right spot. You don’t have to move every piece
individually!
Click your mouse and hold it down as you go over and around the shape, just as if you were making a
text box or square around it.
231 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
Let go and all of those pieces will be selected together and will move together. You can click one piece with your
mouse and move the whole thing. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move it, which is helpful
if it’s something so small your mouse can’t click it properly.
You can duplicate the shapes by having them selected and clicking “Ctrl+D.”
If you want them perfect lined up, just move it around. These handy red guidelines appear that will
show you when it is aligned to another shape!

Introduction of the Session 5 minutes
Begin session by introducing the topic of the day E-Learning as follows using short lecture.
E-Learning is learning utilizing electronic technologies to access educational curriculum outside of a
traditional classroom. In most cases, it refers to a course, program or degree delivered completely
online.
There are many terms used to describe learning that is delivered online, via the internet, ranging
from Distance Education, to computerized electronic learning, online learning, internet learning and
many others.
E-Learning is defined as courses that are specifically delivered via the internet to somewhere other
than the classroom where the professor is teaching. It is not a course delivered via a DVD or CD -
ROM, video tape or over a television channel.
It is interactive in that you can also communicate with your teachers, professors or other
students in your class.
240 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
Sometimes it is delivered live, where you can “electronically” raise your hand and interact in
real time and sometimes it is a lecture that has been prerecorded. There is always a teacher
or professor interacting /communicating with you and grading your participation, your
assignments and your tests.

HANDOUTS
Handout 23.1
The Advantages and Importance of Online Learning
Some say that wisdom comes with age while others insist that it comes from learning. Nowadays,
thanks to the internet, learning is open to all. Hence, people in the countries where traditional learning
is facing various obstacles can take advantage of online courses. So far, e-learning has been effective
to the people that understood its value. It offers the chance to have great results for lower costs and
sometimes for no costs at all. Despite these, online learning has many other advantages. Education
may have several purposes, and online courses help to fulfill it. Some even say that e-learning can
revolutionize education as it provides new opportunities for traditional learning. Taking online classes
has a lot of advantages and below are some of the most important.
Everyone can access education no matter the location
When people choose to pursue a study program in numerous cases they need to move to another city,
away from their home, family, and friends. Meanwhile, there are countries where gender issues
prevent young women from accessing education. In such cases, online learning helps to eliminate
borders and barriers, both social and physical. Online courses are a great solution to the challenges
243 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
that these people face as they are provided with high-quality education and on their own place and
time.
You can Learn about Anything and Whatever You Like
There was this article ‘Use these two words on your college essay to get into Harvard’. If this would
work Harvard or Stanford wouldn’t be what they are. On the other hand, it may happen to anyone to
not get accepted into his or her favorite university. Therefore, they give up the dream to pursue a given
field of studies and research. Meanwhile, online courses allow you to study whatever you want or
anything that triggers your curiosity. Prestigious universities provide free courses because education
must be free to everyone.
Comfort and Flexibility
It happens to young students to find themselves into a highly competitive learning environment. Some
people like this as it motivates them to work hard but there are others that feel overwhelmed. No
matter the fact that failure is essential to success, there are persons that can’t bear failure among
others. Meanwhile, it is easier to accept it at home. This makes people feel comfortable. Speaking of
comfort, online courses help to avoid long classes and uncomfortable classrooms. The bed or the couch
are more comfortable.
Further on, you can save time and cut the cost of commuting from home to the campus. Another thing
that a lot of people agree is the fact that there will be no need to wake up early in the morning. Yet,
keep in mind that in order to be successful it is important to leave your comfort zone.
Sharing knowledge with others
It is common that when we learn something new we feel the need to share it with others. This is
another purpose of education, sharing knowledge. In the case when the course you are taking is part
of a bigger community or network of people like the campus of the Youth Citizen Entrepreneurs
Competition, you can encourage others by sharing what you have learned from the free online courses.
You can join hundreds of thousands of young people from all over the world that have benefited from
our online training and learn the secrets for successful entrepreneurship. All these can help to generate
an idea or project and develop it in a way that can bring a change to your community and beyond.

10 E-Learning Platforms You Can Use For Online Courses
Here is a brief run-down of 10 E-Learning platforms you can use for online courses:
1. Udemy
Udemy firmly believes in disrupting and democratizing educational ecosystem by allowing anyone and
everyone to learn from its pool of more than 20000 Subject Matter Experts. To a very large extent,
Udemy has been successful in its mission. This eLearning platform has many content creation tools
such as PDF documents, PowerPoint, etc. text and video content can be collated to create and publish
courses.
This online training platform can be used by instructors for free. However, Udemy makes big money
by taking 50% per sale of your course. Udemy has more than 12 million students.
2. Teachable
No doubt, Udemy is a great online training platform. But there is little autonomy for instructors. For
instance, Udemy doesn’t let instructors control branding and pricing of courses. Also, instructors know
little about students. Teachable capitalized on all such limitations.
Today, Teachable has more than 3 million students, 7500 instructors, and 20000 courses. The numbers
are getting bigger and better. Instructors should pay a monthly fee to access this platform.
To attract prospects, this eLearning platform gives a free eBook which clearly explains aspects such as
course creation, video creation, slides presentation etc.
3. WizIQ
WizIQ is yet another established name in the eLearning industry. For all intents and purposes, this
online teaching software has been the go-to tool for instructors to deliver live and on-demand
webinars. It is equipped with enough provisions such as slides, desktop sharing tools, audio, video etc.
WizIQ is very common among academic course content creators.
It’s effortlessly easy to create courses and publish them on WizIQ online marketplace. By the way,
WizIQ is known to provide a host of plug-ins for popular learning management software such as
Moodle, Sakai etc.
4. Ruzuku
Ruzuku is another valuable addition to this list of 10 best eLearning platforms. Instructors aren’t
required to have much knowledge of technology to use this platform. As a matter of fact, Ruzuku
245 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
invests great efforts to make it easy for Subject Matter Experts to create and publish courses. It has a
ton of cool features such as PayPal payment gateway, MailChimp integrations, everyday backups, etc.
5. Educadium
Educadium is on an ambitious mission to assist entrepreneurs and organizations of all sizes to create,
manage and profit from online teaching and training through its EasyCampus platform. It has a
plethora of features ranging from course designing to course publishing. You should check its trial
version to get an idea of this online training platform. Subsequently, choose your subscription package.
6. Learn Worlds

and high interaction? Are you looking for a white label solution? Stop your search right now and take
a look at the impressive features of Learn Worlds. The platform’s premium positioning has worked
wonders all these years. There are many impressive features such as tools to build sales pages,
simulators, intelligent sales engine, advanced analytics, etc. They certainly deserve premium
positioning.
Learn Worlds is a very good option. But be sure to do the math—the platform charges $5 per sale and
monthly subscriptions start from $24 per month.
7. Thinkific
I have been a course instructor on Thinkific for quite some time. It’s an amazing platform for 35000 +
content creators who are looking to brand and sell courses. If you are looking to grow your audience
quickly, you should bet your chances on Thinkific.
I have seen many business savvy and smart personalities having trouble in designing and scaling their
courses on other platforms. By all means, Thinkific is a top class exception. Prospects have little trouble
in the building, launching, scaling, and marketing their courses.
8. Academy Of Mine
As the name suggests, Academy of Mine lets you start your own online academy. If you are looking for
a drag-and-drop solution that can save you a lot of time, Academy of Mine scores brownie points. This
online teaching software is power—packed with an amazing administrative interface. The learning
curve is somewhat steep. That said, if you climb up the curve, you can leverage all its powerful features.
9. Course Craft
Looking to turn your blog into a profitable business? Try CourseCraft. Its editor is flexible, simple and
powerful enough to create different types of courses. It’s integrated with Stripe and PayPal payment
processors. Creating quizzes, lessons and forums is just a matter of few precious minutes. Instructors
246 | P a g e
Induction Program for Teachers 2019
can run discounts and offers. Students can collaborate with friends and instructors and create a big
knowledge ecosystem. It has great custom branding features.
10. Skill share
Top teachers on Skill share make as high as $40000 annually. Almost every course lesson entails two
key components—video and class project. Courses are made up of a series of small videos whose
duration is typically anywhere between 10 and 25 minutes. You can make money through Skillshare’s
