What are the unique opportunities that ICT offers to enhance teaching and learning?
Why is the use of still images, animation , video and audio so important?
Why is the interactivity encouraged by ICT so valuable in accelerating learning?

To convert “surface” knowledge to “deep” learning, you have to do something to make it take root. Once you have got the basic facts, you have to stop and explore the subject.
This is where you can use the full range of your eight different intelligences

“So, the airline pilot explains how he does it. Firstly, he takes the systems notes provided by the official manual and, for learning purposes, reconstructs the essential areas into his own notes. These are more maps than written notes. Comprising flow charts, highlighted keywords, and the actions sequenced and attached to a mnemonic. Each complex procedure is broken down into structured elements following the same formula. A summary map is placed on the wall above the study desk.
Alongside the summary map is a black and white layout plan of the controls in the airline flight deck. To learn the drills, the pilot looks at the flow chart, says aloud the action described, reaches forward and touches the switch as suggested by the layout plan on the wall. This is rehearsed until there is no need for the props and prompt cards”.
The learning is being rehearsed in 3 different sensory modalites - visual, auditory and kinaesthetic.
