=**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">How will these ICT tools be integrated into the ICT project? **= <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">These ICT tools will be integrated into the ICT project by being used in the lessons for the students to create and inform students about the topic of flowers and plants. Also the ICT tools of the internet, learning federation website, wiki page and inspiration are used in the developmental process for this assignment, as the learning federation website, Microsoft word and inspiration are used to create lesson plan ideas and with regards to the wiki page, it will be used as the final presentation piece that will demonstrate all the requirements needed for the assignment, such as the teachers page and task information. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">**<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt;">Is the overall design of the learning sequence significant to student’s lives and stimulating for the target audience? ** <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">The overall design of the learning sequence is significant to student’s lives because it will demonstrate the function and structure of plants through interactive activities. This will link to the student’s life, as surrounding them in both their immediate and global world is the environment that contains many different flowers and plants, including the sun flower seed, which is the topic for this project.

The design is stimulating for the target audience as it involves a variety of different ICT tools that are integrated into every lesson, which aims to promote active learning rather than the students’ receiving information passively from the teacher, text books or worksheets. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
