  Theme D - ICT CFT Competency

  • The Kenyan ICT CFT Course is directly aligned to the UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers (CFT). This theme for example has been designed so that participants can master the following competency drawn directly from UNESCO framework:

    "Teachers must be knowledgeable about a variety of subject specific tools and applications and be able to flexibly use these in a variety of problem based and project based situations. Teachers should be able to use network resources to help students collaborate, access information and communicate with external experts in order to analyse and solve their selected problems. Teachers should also be able to use ICT to create and monitor individual and group student project plans" (p.28) 

    You can read more about the framework and access it directly using the links below.

  Theme D - Timeframes

  • Theme D, its content and activities, will be available throughout the 15 week KICTCFT course for you to access, interact and revise. We recommend that you spend a minimum of 23 hours study time on this theme. Please note, however, the facilitators will only be on duty for the following periods:

    Unit 07: Monday 10th October - Sunday 16th October 2016
    Unit 08: Monday 17th October - Sunday 23rd October 2016
    Unit 09: Monday 24th October - Sunday 30th October 2016

  • The course is self paced but here are the dates when online facilitators will be on duty to support you. If you arrive to do any of these units outside the facilitation 'window' there will be no one to give you guidance, however, you are welcome to learn at your own pace.
