Why bother to teach students what they do not need to learn? The principle of just-in-time learning is a very
important one for us as educators. We sometimes bombard our students with skills and knowledge that we
think they will need to learn at some time in their formal schooling years but we never took the time to ponder
about their necessity and timeliness. Some activities are useless and non contextual and as a result students
are unable to see their connections to real life. We should teach our students just-in-time what they need to
learn so that they can learn just-in-time, when they are ready to learn. Some students can suffer from information
overload and confuse concepts.The integrated approach was used in the spreadsheet lesson. This Approach to ICT
offers the following advantages:
- Flexible delivery schedule on an a just in time basis
- Emphasis on learner control
- Training that is specific, modular, and flexible
- Active learning
- Activity based
