E-learning and pedagogy -E-learning and pedagogy -NZCNZCInformation and communication technology (ICT) has a major impact on the world
in which young people live.
Similarly, e-learning (that is, learning supported by or facilitated by ICT) has considerable potential to support the teaching approaches outlined in the section below.
For instance, e-learning may: assist the making of connections by enabling students to enter and
explore new learning environments, overcoming barriers of distance and time
facilitate shared learning by enabling students to join or create communities of learners that extend well beyond the classroom
assist in the creation of supportive learning environments by offering resources that take account of individual, cultural, or developmental differences
enhance opportunities to learn by offering students virtual experiences and tools that save them time, allowing them to take their learning further.
Schools should explore not only how ICT can supplement traditional ways of teaching but also how it can open up new and different ways of learning.

A focus on purpose is important in all learning areas and in e-learning.
Some things to think about
Use activites with whole class or groups. Wiki can be used for home links Whole class and a learning object on the data projector to work through
together Give students the mouse while working in a group - (consider wireless
Bluetooth) Students demonstrating using a learning object or activity 2-3 students working together on activities at computer Students showing each other or demonstrating their learning to other
students Do they lead to any hands on follow up activites? Targeting Maori and Pacifika or other learing needs - eg extension Don't be restricted by level eg a upper primary learning object could be
used with Juniors with support Don't be restricted by learning area eg an english learning object might
have maths content out of class work (eek homework!) on a wiki for students
