| Summary: | An ICT facilitator attempts to improve the strategies he employs when
teaching gifted and talented pupils in an inquiry-based learning class how
to utilise the more complex functions of Google. Having ascertained that
the pupils were only employing Google's 'basic search' function the ICT
facilitator attempted to introduce the pupils to the advanced functions of
Google so they could search the World Wide Web more effectively. The
pupils' initial resistance to looking beyond the results offered by simplistic
search procedures presented a challenge for the ICT facilitator. The ICT
facilitator had to come to terms with revising his preferred mode of
instruction to encompass the pupils' self-efficacy. |
