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.

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.
Theme D - Assessment Strategy
Throughout the course you will be required to construct a portfolio of evidence. For Theme D there are four portfolio tasks, one from each unit 7, 8, 9 & 10. The portfolio tool can be accessed from the top right hand block in each unit.
In the final examination there will also be questions drawn from the content of this theme.
