Facilitating Effective ICT-Pedagogy Integration Project
Facilitating Effective ICT-Pedagogy Integration Project aims to create an environment for student-centered use of ICT using 1) project based learning and 2) tele-collaboration. This is a three-year project (2010-2012) of UNESCO Bangkok with financial support from the Korean-Funds-In-Trust (KFIT).
Capacity-Building Workshop on Project-Based Learning and Telecollaboration in China/© UNESCO
UNESCO Bangkok will select ten countries to participate in this project. At least two teacher education institutions (TEIs) from each country will act as UNESCO’s partners. Each TEI will coordinate a set of (10-15) primary/secondary schools to implement the activities. This will also build a stronger partnership between teacher education institutions (TEIs) and schools.
The project envisions three possible collaborations happening. These are:
→ Scenario A: Teachers from different subjects collaborating with a group of students within the same school to implement a “project” (inter-disciplinary)
→ Scenario B: Two or more schools from the same country collaborating with each other to implement one or more projects (inter-school)
→ Scenario C: Schools from different countries collaborating on a project of common-interest (inter-cultural)
