“ CONVERGENCE Technological convergence occurs when sets of technologies with distinct functionalities develop so that some of the functions overlap. Convergence takes place when these multiple products come together to form one product with the advantages of all of the individual technologies. The mobile phone which provides text, graphic and voice is an example of technological convergence.” (Wild, 2006)
1. CONVERGENCETechnological convergence occurs when sets of
technologieswith distinct functionalities develop so that some of
thefunctions overlap. Convergence takes place when thesemultiple
products come together to form one product withthe advantages of
all of the individual technologies. Themobile phone which provides
text, graphic and voice is anexample of technological convergence.
(Wild, 2006)Therefore Convergence is the coming together of two
ormore distinct entities or the combination of two or moredifferent
technologies in a single device.
2. Three images of ICT media that can effectivelybe
converged.
3. Using two forms of media in one lessonLesson :How does the
structure of the eye relate to its function?ObjectivesStudents
should be able to: (a) name the front parts of the eye.(b) identify
the location and tell thefunction of the different parts of
theouter section of the eye.(c) describe how each part of the
eyehelps us to see.(d) label the outer parts of the eye.
4. Procedure-Students use digital camera to take pictures of
the eyes of differentaged persons.-Download pictures on computer
and beam these via multi-mediaprojector onto screen.-Identify
similarities and differences of these eyes.-Upload 3-D images of
the human eye from the internet and describeeach part that helps us
to see.-Complete an interactive activity of labeling the parts of
the eye.
