Curriculum documents now identify skills and knowledge sets that are in addition to the specific confines of particular subjects or learning areas. One of these skills is ICT literacy but there are numerous others too. It's time to take a deeper look at how ICT can support the curriculum and the delivery of skills necessary to function in the 21st century.

On completion of this unit participants will be able to:

1. Investigate and source digital versions of curriculum documents from the national education authority's website
2. Determine what role for ICT has been envisaged by the national education authority as expressed within the official curriculum
3. Identify sixteen 21st century skills as defined by the World Economic Forum
4. Integrate at least two 21st century skills into their teaching and learning.

eerplandocumenten identificeren nu vaardigheden en kennispakketten die een aanvulling vormen op de specifieke grenzen van bepaalde vakken of leergebieden. Een van deze vaardigheden is ICT-geletterdheid, maar er zijn er nog veel meer. Het is tijd om dieper in te gaan op hoe ICT het leerplan kan ondersteunen en de vaardigheden kan aanleren die nodig zijn om te functioneren in de 21e eeuw.

Na afronding van dit onderdeel kunnen de deelnemers:

1. Digitale versies van curriculumdocumenten van de website van de nationale onderwijsautoriteit te onderzoeken en als bron te gebruiken.
2. Bepalen welke rol ICT volgens de nationale onderwijsautoriteit speelt in het officiële curriculum.
3. Zestien21st century skills identificeren zoals gedefinieerd door het World Economic Forum.
4. Ten minste twee21e eeuwse vaardigheden integreren in hun onderwijs en leren.

Introduction to cell theory--the idea that 1) all living things are made of one or more cells, 2) cells are the basic unit of life and 3) all cells come from other cells. Explore the roles that Hooke, Leeuwenhoek and others played in developing cell theory.

Hooke and Leeuwenhoek were two of the first scientists to use microscopes to study the microscopic world of cells. Hooke coined the term "cell" after observing the tiny compartments in cork, while Leeuwenhoek discovered a variety of living creatures in pond water, blood, and other samples. They contributed to the cell theory by suggesting that cells are the fundamental units of life and structure, and that all living things consist of one or more cells that originate from other cells by division. 

All living things are made up of cells, which is the smallest unit that can be said to be alive. An organism may consist of one single cell (unicellular) or many different numbers and types of cells (multicellular).

There are some key words that you need to know for circles: radius, circumference, diameter, sector, segment, tangent, chord and arc. In this video you will discover what they all mean.

This video discusses the topic of circles.

Plant cells have a cell wall in addition to a cell membrane, whereas animal cells have only a cell membrane. Plants use cell walls to provide structure to the plant. Plant cells contain organelles called chloroplasts, while animal cells do not. Chloroplasts allow plants to make the food they need to live using photosynthesis.
