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.

• Explain basic electricity relationships in series and parallel circuits.
• Use an ammeter and voltmeter to take readings in circuits.
• Provide reasoning to explain the measurements and relationships in circuits.
• Build circuits from schematic drawings.
• Determine if common objects are conductors or insulators.
• Compare and contrast AC and DC circuits.
• Describe how capacitors and inductors behave in a circuit.
• Experimentally determine the RC time constant.
• Construct RLC circuits and determine the conditions for resonance.

This podcast (audio) file explains how electric current can be obtained from the sun through the solar panel using direct illumination of the sun rays

• Predict how current will change when resistance of the circuit is fixed and voltage is varied.
• Predict how current will change when voltage of the circuit is fixed and resistance is varied.

Electrical devices convert the electrical energy carried by the charges into other types of energy such as heat, sound, and motion. Components in the appliance resist the flow of charge and are referred to as resistors. In this unit1 you will understand what resistance is, the factors that affect the resistance and the relationship between resistance and current.

Most of us use electricity every day in many different ways so it is important that we understand the dangers, or hazards, associated with electricity and we know how to use it safely.

When a circuit is connected and complete, charge can move through the circuit. Charge will not move unless there is a reason, a force to drive it around the circuit. Think of it as though charge is at rest and some- thing has to push it along. This means that work needs to be done to make charge move. A force acts on the charges, doing work, to make them move. The force is provided by the battery in the circuit.
