Activity 6-Module 4- Reflection

Experience of assigning students with projects that requires them to do research has been a challenging activity. As an administrator, I constantly hear teachers complaining about repeated cases of plagiarism.  I do plan to have sessions with the entire school of students as to how they can engage with the plethora of resources on the internet and how they can analyse the information.  The World Wide Web is like an ocean of information but if one does not have the skills to navigate through it then one will see it as a difficult task to undertake.  Such students will not become discovery learner, or the kind who are independent or explorers of knowledge. There will always be the dependency on the teacher to divulge information.  The use of ICT to aid learning is a concept that students find difficult to absorb. However with consistency, I believe understanding will become clearer.  Right now I am going to explore website that can give useful information on areas that are within the curriculum for subjects so that teachers can use these in their classes-kind of like a jump start.
