Åmot Lower Secondary School - Main

       

 

         

Welcome to Rena and Åmot  Secondary School!

Aims

We have two main aims
The school will use ICT to pedagogical innovation in the classrooms. We think that use of ICT in the classrooms can increase the potential for learning, especially when we use in collaborative projects, finding information on Internet and that the pupils can express their thoughts and ideas. International research supports these presumptions.

A very important factor for success implementing ICT in the classrooms is that the teachers have competence in ICT, and that they see the possibilities ICT give in the schoolwork and in project based learning.

It’s also important to create a new understanding of the possibilities technology give to a education reform – to move focus from teaching to learning. From teacher centred teaching to give the pupils a real responsibility for their own learning.

Pupils in focus and engaged learning

  • Students are responsible for their own learning
  • Students are self-regulated and able to define their learning goals
  • Task for the students must be challenging, authentic and multidisciplinary
  • Collaborative learning is very important
  • Performance based assessment during the projects is important
  • Learning through exploring is important
  • Create positive learning environments
  • Move focus from teaching to learning
  • New teacher role – from information giver to facilitator, guide and learner

Greater competence in ICT for all teachers

  • All the teachers at the school year shall this school year at least have competence on Datakort level (a EEU standard)
  • Support economic female teachers in their ICT studies at Hedmark College
  • Teachers that already have ICT education from universities or colleges specialise within one area, f. instance use of multimedia on Internet

All teachers use ICT in multidisciplinary project-based work at the school to become familiar with ICT in the classrooms.
