In this unit, we will demonstrate how technology can contribute to teaching, learning, administration and professional development.

By the end of this unit, you should be able to use ICT to:

• add value to your lesson planning
• make lesson content, more professional
• provides learners with tools to demonstrate what they have learned and demonstrate new competencies
• complete educator administrative duties
• connect with other educators and pursue further professional development

In deze unit laten we zien hoe technologie kan bijdragen aan lesgeven, leren, administratie en professionele ontwikkeling.

Aan het einde van deze unit moet je in staat zijn om ICT te gebruiken om:

• waarde toe te voegen aan je lesplanning
• lesinhoud professioneler te maken
• leerlingen hulpmiddelen aan te reiken om te demonstreren wat ze hebben geleerd en nieuwe competenties aan te tonen
• administratieve taken van docenten uit te voeren
• in contact te komen met andere leerkrachten en verdere professionele ontwikkeling na te streven

The internet and internet-enabled technologies are continuing to develop at a very fast pace. This has many benefits, but it also changes the way in which students learn, communicate and interact. Learners are keen and avid users of the internet and mobile technologies. They are seen as ‘digital natives’, always surrounded by technologies. There are many social, educational and economic benefits for learners in using ICTs but learners do need to understand what is acceptable and appropriate behaviour in an online society.

On completion of this unit of study you will be able to:

• Model and instill in students appropriate behavior when communicating online, i.e. netiquette
• Identify digital citizenship knowledge, skills and values
• Design a lesson that incorporates digital citizenship competencies.

Het internet en op het internet gebaseerde technologieën blijven zich razendsnel ontwikkelen. Dit heeft veel voordelen, maar het verandert ook de manier waarop leerlingen leren, communiceren en met elkaar omgaan. Leerlingen zijn fervente en enthousiaste gebruikers van het internet en mobiele technologieën. Ze worden gezien als 'digital natives', altijd omringd door technologieën. Het gebruik van ICT heeft veel sociale, educatieve en economische voordelen voor leerlingen, maar leerlingen moeten wel begrijpen wat aanvaardbaar en gepast gedrag is in een online maatschappij.

Na afronding van deze onderwijseenheid bent u in staat om:

• Modelleer en breng leerlingen passend gedrag bij wanneer ze online communiceren, d.w.z. netiquette
• Kennis, vaardigheden en waarden met betrekking tot digitaal burgerschap identificeren
• Een les ontwerpen die de competenties van digitaal burgerschap omvat.

The Earth behaves like a giant bar magnet and as such there is a magnetic field present around it. The Earth’s magnetic field is thought to be caused by flowing liquid metals in the outer core of the planet which causes electric currents and a magnetic field.

The idea of the electric field, how it's useful, and explains how the electric field is defined.

Introduction to magnetism: Wikipedia article that provides an overview of the concept.

In this lesson you will learn about:

• The concept of magnetism
• Be able to identify magnetic and non-magnetic materials
• Identify properties and types of magnets
• Understand that metals can be magnetised and de-magnetised
• Understand that magnets have a magnetic field
• Understand that the Earth has a magnetic field

The force that acts across the air gaps between magnets is the same force that creates wonders such as the Aurora Borealis. In fact, magnetic effects pervade our lives in myriad ways, from electric motors to medical imaging and computer memory. In this chapter, we introduce magnets and learn how they work and how magnetic fields and electric currents interact.

Forces at a distance are explained by fields (gravitational, electric, and magnetic) permeating space that can transfer energy through space. Magnets or electric currents cause magnetic fields; electric charges or changing magnetic fields cause electric fields.
