A New Trend Of Integration ICT Into Curriculum

From the birth of information technology, countless educators place unlimited hopes on them. In the past century, from Thomas Alva Edison invented sound film to Steve Jobs developed iPhone and iPad, one of several expectations which information technology will impact education is through using information technology appropriately to totally change the reality of education has overwhelming influence among generations of educational researchers. However, the reality is even different information technologies are immersed into all levels of education, but the essential change still never happened. Just like a paradox of doctrine in terms of information technology transform the whole system of education. Based on so many researches of educational technology and related research outcomes, we find the topic of integration of ICT into curriculum act as a key to solve the dilemma of prediction of information technology will change education. In fact, different from the condition of using information technology in school in past, the striking characteristic of using them currently is individual lives and life world are forming with information technology, they become an indispensable part of individual daily life, especially for young generation whom born in the environment full of information technologies.Due to the fact that not easy to deny or neglect, therefore, in the paper, through apply the perspective of information technology are increasingly play a pivotal role in individual’s learning, thinking, presentation, etc. Based on this perspective, try to find a new research approach to solve the difficulty of integration ICT into curriculum.At present, it is no doubt about the phenomena of individuals’lives deeply influenced by the role of information communication technologies, especially for the digital natives. However, dose this effect also suitable for integration ICT into curriculum? This paper examines this question through a study of analysis the possibility of integration iPad+Apps into curriculum from five parts. agreement on the ICT act as a new factor of curriculum design which fundamental theory is constructivism. Therefore, in this study, the perspective of constructivism is the foundation to analysis and makes the idea become true.After comprehensive analysis, we find the productions of Apple Company become the hottest topic in terms of new educational evolution which will bring new hope for all, especially of iPad and Apps. The fact that we need face is iPad+Apps will bring new possibility of integration ICT into curriculum. Therefore, fulfill the design the curriculum supported by iPad+Apps, the outcomes of this study are two points. The ICT never means tools merely; the life style and life experience changing apparently due to the integration of ICT, the second is the perspective of individual life technicalization will affect the comprehension of the current change which leading by the digital generation in a whole new way.Based on the theory of constructivism, from the dimensions of student engagement, learning environment, assessment to design new modes of curriculum, meanwhile original conceptualize the principles, functions and assessment strategies of the learning environment in iPad+Apps. Then demonstrations how design the curriculum of geography and history with integration of iPad+Apps. The study ends with a discussion of the cultural role of information communication technology that will form the whole new understanding of integration ICT into curriculum. From the perspective of cultural transmission of generations, explain the transformation of teachers’culture, students’culture and school culture. Moreover, we attempt to explain the necessity of integration ICT into curriculum from the perspective of culture.Finally, we obtain two outcomes from this research. The first is the topic of integration ICT into curriculum which acts as a traditional question need using new perspective and new approach to explain the dilemma of difficult to integration. When we try to understand the critical role of information technology through the For the purpose to make clear which factors that lead the dilemma of the reality of integration ICT into curriculum in the period of middle school. Through analysis the feedback of students and teachers, it reflects that there are two myths being in reality of integration ICT into curriculum. The one is teachers did not realize their knowledge of instruction decided the degree of integration, furthermore, if teachers always using ICT in the traditional way which focusing on the feedback of teachers’ not students’,the function of ICT still very limited, another is misreading of meaning of interest of learning. From these two myths, this study tries to explain the new approach of how to integration iPad+Apps into curriculum.In second part, beginning with the learning interest of student, the goal is answer the question of two myths in terms of integration ICT into curriculum. After research the latest research development and outcomes of student interest and student engagement of other countries, learning interest is not a simple research topic. On the contrary, in our country, the topic of student engagement is still not been pay more attention to research. Therefore, from three dimensions of learning environment, learning assessment, curriculums design respectively to explain how to achieve student engagement. Following, analyzing new trends of theory of learning environment, learning assessment and new factor of curriculums design. It is extremely clear is the environment of instruction and learning today is completely different from the situation in last century. The core reason is the speed of development of ICT, meanwhile the unique characteristics of digital generation, which means teachers will face the unpredictable challenge never experienced before. Based on this background, more and more educational organizations begin to notice the potential influence of new technologies, among them, the series of horizon reports which released by the New Medium Consortium, cited by a lot of governments’ educational development plan which emphasize the irreplaceable role of ICT leading the system transformation of education. At the same time, a plenty of researchers perspective of individual life experience, we have a chance to solve the difficulty of integration. The second one is integration ICT into curriculum is never simply means individuals learning, more important is, behind the phenomena of integration ICT into curriculum is one form of transformation of culture.
