2. Methods of Teaching
 Problem oriented: gradually expanding series of
tasks, or extends the used concepts and functions
 Application oriented: It teaches the skills necessary
for creating a certain type of document in the order of
its structure and expansion.
 Menu oriented: It teaches application knowledge
through the menu items of the application.
 Function oriented: It defines the general functions of
an application system e.g. inserting, correcting,
printing, formatting etc. for word-processors, and then
links concrete knowledge items to them.

3. Concept oriented: It defines the concepts used
by an application system e.g. cell, row, column,
block, sheet etc. for spreadsheets, and then
discusses the functions related to them.
Abstract tool-oriented: It defines the ever
expanding series of abstract tools, e.g. traditional
mechanical typewriter, electronic typewriter with
correction function, electronic typewriter with
line formatting function etc. for word-
processors, and then discusses the necessary
knowledge for each level.

4. Approaches for use of ICT in the
schools:
 Interactive boards
 Facilitate experiments
 Computer is used to facilitate experiments in natural
sciences
 use of ICT is a way to improve the experiments and to
make the processes more visible and in other cases the
experiments would not even be possible to do without
computers
 the schools can use standard programmes, teachers can
also developed their own programmes to support
experiments they want to do together with their students.
 As experiments are mainly a part of science subjects this
was a methodology more commonly used in science
subjects than in other subjects.

5. Video and sound
PowerPoint
Animations
Finding information on internet
Internet and e-mail for communication

6. Learning platforms
Learning platforms such as Moodle used as a
means of communication between teachers
and students are also used as a storage of the
course content.
The schools use learning platforms only for
blended learning instruction to facilitate,
support and organise classroom pedagogical
practices.

7. Dissemination of information
Contacts with other schools
Distance education
PowerPoint supported lectures,
Animations used to make lectures more
concrete (mainly science subjects),

8. Using internet to find information,
Using internet and e-mail for communication,
Websites to make information available to the
public and to students,
Blended learning,
Out of school activities.
