ICT LAC Introductory Document

As a priority topic for Learning Action Cell (LAC) sessions, it is indicated in DO 35 s.2006
that special emphasis must be made on some key features of the K to 12 Basic Education Program.
One of the topics enumerated, pertains to the importance of conducting LAC sessions about 21st
Century Skills and ICT Integration in Instruction and Assessment.

"Bringing 21st-century skills into the teaching and learning situation is a

central feature of the K to 12 Basic Education Program. Teachers must
enrich lessons with simple integration strategies utilizing Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) that are developmentally appropriate.
Instruction and assessment processes can be made more collaborative
with ICT, which teachers can implement with the tools and equipment
available in their schools." (DO 35 s. 2006 section 15.4)

Furthermore, as part of the LAC implementation process, appropriate intervention should be

identified, which could be in the form of learning materials, instructional materials, equipment,
facilities, strategies in teaching, modality in teaching, program, etc (DO 35 s. 2006 section 17.4).

In addition, human and material resources should be setup (DO 35 s. 2006 section 17.6). Thus,
ICT LAC Activity Cards as material resources provide support in LAC sessions.
