4. INFOGRAPHIC AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL
•WHAT IS AN INFOGRAPHIC?
• ACCORDING TO THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY, AN
INFOGRAPHIC (OR INFORMATION GRAPHIC) IS “A VISUAL
REPRESENTATION OF INFORMATION OR DATA”.
•AN INFOGRAPHIC IS A COLLECTION OF IMAGERY, CHARTS,
AND MINIMAL TEXT THAT GIVES AN EASY-TO-
UNDERSTAND OVERVIEW OF A TOPIC.

5. •INFOGRAPHICS ARE A VALUABLE TOOL FOR VISUAL
COMMUNICATION. THE MOST VISUALLY UNIQUE, CREATIVE
INFOGRAPHICS ARE OFTEN THE MOST EFFECTIVE, BECAUSE
THEY GRAB OUR ATTENTION AND DON’T LET GO.
• BUT IT’S CRUCIAL TO REMEMBER THAT THE VISUALS IN AN
INFOGRAPHIC MUST DO MORE THAN EXCITE AND ENGAGE.
THEY MUST HELP US UNDERSTAND AND REMEMBER THE
CONTENT

6. WHY ARE INFOGRAPHICS USED?
• INFOGRAPHICS ARE GREAT FOR MAKING COMPLEX INFORMATION EASY
TO DIGEST.
• PROVIDE A QUICK OVERVIEW OF A TOPIC
• EXPLAIN A COMPLEX PROCESS / HOW SOMETHING FUNCTIONS
• DISPLAY RESEARCH FINDINGS OR SURVEY DATA / INTERESTING FACTS
• SUMMARIZE A LONG BLOG POST OR REPORT
• COMPARE AND CONTRAST MULTIPLE OPTIONS
• RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT AN ISSUE OR CAUSE

8. The QR Code
• A QR code (an initialism for Quick Response code) is a
type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional
barcode) invented in 1994 by the Japanese automotive
company Denso Wave.
• A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that can
contain information about the item to which it is attached. In
practice, QR codes often contain data for a locator,
identifier, or tracker that points to a website or application.

9. The QR Code
• The Quick Response system became popular outside the
automotive industry due to its fast readability and greater storage
capacity compared to standard UPC (universal product code)
barcodes. Applications include product tracking, item identification,
time tracking, document management, and general marketing.
• A QR code consists of black squares arranged in a square grid on
a white background, which can be read by an imaging device such
as a camera. The required data is then extracted from patterns that
are present in both horizontal and vertical components of the
image.

11. Individual Task (Assignment)
• Create your own QR Code.
• Feel free to encode the text or information that you would like to include in
your QR code.
• Due: Friday, 11am
• Your QR code will be graded based on the following:
• Functionality 20
• Content/s 10
• Mechanics 10

12. How to make a QR Code
• You need to be ONLINE.
• Search for a QR Code generator and ensure that you read
the information about the application. This is important to
ensure your safety on the internet.
• Kaywa, GOQR.me, Visualed, QR Stuff, QR Code
Generator, etc.
• Encode the text or the information that you want to include
in your QR Code.
• Run it and save it as a jpeg file. You can download your
own code.
• Test the QR Code using your QR Code reader or scanner.

13. Think, Pair and Share:
• How can you integrate
the QR Code in teaching?

16. TODAY’S Add’l TOPICS:
• ICT Integration in Education (continuation)
• Digital Literacies
• 21ST Century Skills
• LEARNING SKILLS
• LITERACY SKILLS
• LIFE SKILLS

17. ICT INTEGRATION IN EDUCATION
• ICT INTEGRATION IS DEFINED AS THE USE OF ICT TO INTRODUCE,
REINFORCE, SUPPLEMENT AND EXTEND SKILLS (PISAPIA, 1994).
• ICT INTEGRATION HAS BEEN ATTRACTING A GREAT DEAL OF
INTEREST AMONG RESEARCHERS IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
COMMUNITIES AND HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION CIRCLES.
• ICT INTEGRATION HAS BEEN FUELING CONTENTIONS AMONGST
STAKEHOLDERS AND ADMINISTRATORS OF ICT IN INSTITUTES OF
HIGHER LEARNING, SCHOOLS AND CORPORATE TRAINING
ENVIRONMENTS.
WHAT IS ICT INTEGRATION?

18. VIEWS ON ICT INTEGRATION
•SOME STUDIES VIEW IT AS AN AID TO ACHIEVE ADMINISTRATIVE
PROFICIENCIES AND PERSONAL PRODUCTIVITIES, IN AND OUTSIDE
OF INSTRUCTION.
• OTHER STUDIES LOOK AT THE ENCULTURATION OF ORGANIZATIONS
ASSIMILATING ICT INFRASTRUCTURE PROCESSES.
• STILL OTHERS EXPLORE THE INNOVATIVE WAYS TEACHERS CAN
USE ICT TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ SUBJECT MATTER
COMPETENCIES.

19. WHY ICT INTEGRATION?
• ICT INTEGRATION IS BECOMING AN INDISPENSABLE SKILL FOR
TEACHERS IN TODAY’S ACADEMIC AND CORPORATE WORK
SETTINGS.
• ICT CLAIMS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF TEACHING AND LEARNING.
• WHILE SOME ARE NOT CONVINCED THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO BETTER
THEIR TEACHING THROUGH ICT, OTHERS CANNOT FIND THE TIME TO
LEARN THIS SKILL, DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES OR ARE
FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIND GOOD TECHNICAL
SUPPORT WHEN THEY RUN INTO PROBLEMS

20. • WHILE SOME TEACHERS RESENT ICT OR ARE INDIFFERENT
ABOUT IT, OTHERS EMBRACE IT AND APPRECIATE ITS
ROLE IN NOT ONLY EXTENDING STUDENTS’ COGNITIVE
ABILITIES BUT ALSO ALLOW THE TEACHERS TO “TEACH
LESS” AND STUDENTS TO “LEARN MORE”.
•APPRECIATION IS NO DOUBT A GOOD START BUT ICT
INTEGRATION DEMANDS BOTH AN UNDERSTANDING OF ITS
FUNDAMENTAL ROLES AND THE MEANS TO INTEGRATE ICT
INTO TEACHING AND LEARNING.

21. •TO PROPERLY UNDERSTAND WHAT ICT INTEGRATION
ENTAILS, WE HAVE TO SEE THAT IT IS MORE THAN
JUST TEACHING WITH COMPUTERS, REMOTE
LEARNING OR BLENDED LEARNING IN A PHYSICAL
CLASSROOM, WEB-CASTING, VIDEO-CONFERENCING,
DIGITIZING, ARCHIVING LEARNING RESOURCES OR
MANAGING LEARNERS ONLINE.

22. Why ICT integration in Education?
• It allows easeof processing of information
• Effective accessibility to resources
• Easy sharing of resources
• Expression of creativity
• Effective Collaboration

23. KEY ISSUES TO REMEMBER IN RELATION TO
THE IMPORTANCE OF ICT IN EDUCATION
• 1. E-LEARNING OR ONLINE LEARNING: THE PRESENCE OF ICT IN EDUCATION
ALLOWS FOR NEW WAYS OF LEARNING FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS. E-
LEARNING OR ONLINE LEARNING IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY POPULAR AND
WITH VARIOUS UNPRECEDENTED EVENTS TAKING PLACE IN OUR LIVES, THIS
DOES NOT ONLY OPEN OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCHOOLS TO ENSURE THAT
STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO CURRICULUM MATERIALS WHILE IN THE
CLASSROOM BUT ALSO ALLOWS THEM TO ENSURE STUDENTS OUTSIDE THE
CLASSROOM SUCH AS AT HOME OR EVEN IN HOSPITALS CAN LEARN.

24. KEY ISSUES TO REMEMBER IN RELATION TO
THE IMPORTANCE OF ICT IN EDUCATION
2. ICT BRINGS INCLUSION: THE BENEFITS OF ICT IN EDUCATION IS OF SUCH
THAT STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM CAN ALL LEARN FROM THE
CURRICULUM MATERIAL. STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS ARE NO LONGER
AT A DISADVANTAGE AS THEY HAVE ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL MATERIAL
AND SPECIAL ICT TOOLS CAN BE USED BY STUDENTS TO MAKE USE OF ICT
FOR THEIR OWN EDUCATIONAL NEEDS. DESPITE THIS, IT OPENS UP NEW
ISSUES RELATED TO THE 'DIGITAL DIVIDE' AND PROVIDING ACCESS TO ICT
TOOLS AND RESOURCES FOR THOSE WHO ARE LESS FORTUNATE.

25. KEY ISSUES TO REMEMBER IN RELATION TO
THE IMPORTANCE OF ICT IN EDUCATION
3. ICT PROMOTES HIGHER-ORDER THINKING SKILLS: ONE OF THE KEY
SKILLS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY WHICH INCLUDES EVALUATING,
PLANNING, MONITORING, AND REFLECTING TO NAME A FEW. THE
EFFECTIVE USE OF ICT IN EDUCATION DEMANDS SKILLS SUCH AS
EXPLAINING AND JUSTIFYING THE USE OF ICT IN PRODUCING
SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS. STUDENTS NEED TO DISCUSS, TEST, AND
CONJECTURE THE VARIOUS STRATEGIES THAT THEY WILL USE.

26. KEY ISSUES TO REMEMBER IN RELATION TO
THE IMPORTANCE OF ICT IN EDUCATION
4. ICT ENHANCES SUBJECT LEARNING: IT IS WELL
KNOWN THESE DAYS THAT THE USE OF ICT IN
EDUCATION ADDS A LOT OF VALUE TO KEY LEARNING
AREAS LIKE LITERACY AND NUMERACY.

27. KEY ISSUES TO REMEMBER IN RELATION TO
THE IMPORTANCE OF ICT IN EDUCATION
5. ICT USE DEVELOPS ICT LITERACY AND ICT
CAPABILITY: BOTH ARE 21ST-CENTURY SKILLS THAT ARE BEST
DEVELOPED WHILST ICT REMAINS TRANSPARENT IN THE
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT LEARNING. THE BEST WAY TO
DEVELOP ICT CAPABILITY IS TO PROVIDE THEM WITH
MEANINGFUL ACTIVITIES, EMBEDDED IN PURPOSEFUL
SUBJECT-RELATED CONTEXTS.

28. KEY ISSUES TO REMEMBER IN RELATION TO
THE IMPORTANCE OF ICT IN EDUCATION
6. ICT USE ENCOURAGES COLLABORATION: YOU JUST HAVE TO
PUT A LAPTOP, IPAD OR COMPUTER IN THE CLASSROOM TO
UNDERSTAND HOW THIS WORKS. ICT NATURALLY BRINGS
CHILDREN TOGETHER WHERE THEY CAN TALK AND DISCUSS
WHAT THEY ARE DOING FOR THEIR WORK AND THIS IN TURN,
OPENS UP AVENUES FOR COMMUNICATION THUS LEADING TO
LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT.

29. KEY ISSUES TO REMEMBER IN RELATION TO
THE IMPORTANCE OF ICT IN EDUCATION
7. ICT USE MOTIVATES LEARNING: SOCIETY'S
DEMANDS FOR NEW TECHNOLOGY HAS NOT LEFT OUT
CHILDREN AND THEIR NEEDS. CHILDREN ARE
FASCINATED WITH TECHNOLOGY AND IT ENCOURAGES
AND MOTIVATES THEM TO LEARN IN THE CLASSROOM.

30. KEY ISSUES TO REMEMBER IN RELATION TO
THE IMPORTANCE OF ICT IN EDUCATION
8. ICT IN EDUCATION IMPROVES ENGAGEMENT AND KNOWLEDGE
RETENTION: WHEN ICT IS INTEGRATED INTO LESSONS, STUDENTS
BECOME MORE ENGAGED IN THEIR WORK. THIS IS BECAUSE
TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE IT
MORE FUN AND ENJOYABLE IN TERMS OF TEACHING THE SAME
THINGS IN DIFFERENT WAYS. AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THIS INCREASED
ENGAGEMENT, IT IS SAID THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO RETAIN
KNOWLEDGE MORE EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY.

31. KEY ISSUES TO REMEMBER IN RELATION TO
THE IMPORTANCE OF ICT IN EDUCATION
9. ICT USE ALLOWS FOR EFFECTIVE DIFFERENTIATION
INSTRUCTION WITH TECHNOLOGY: WE ALL LEARN
DIFFERENTLY AT DIFFERENT RATES AND STYLES AND
TECHNOLOGY PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THIS TO
OCCUR.
As teachers, we need to differentiate in the classroom because children are complex and the old
teaching styles of the past just don’t work and allow for all children to learn equally. teachers take
the time to select different materials for each individual child to provide equal learning
opportunities. It also then enables engagement with less boredom and frustration from children.
