ICT-based Instructional Design

Text, television, video, and a host of other media sources covered within this textbook are all valid and vital sources of information. Your role is to guide your students to use these media as sources for their learning in ways that are wise, safe, and productive. For example, students need to learn to find multiple sources to verify facts they may have heard on the news or read in the newspaper. They need to learn to be critical users of these resources to ensure that they are well informed and their conclusions are accurate. As mentioned earlier, the ISTE Standards for Students and the "Four Cs" address many of the abilities learners need to be successful consumers of the media resources surrounding them.
