This week....

Hi - I've had lots of experience with ICT this week in all subjects so thought I'd document it here! Firstly, in English we got the chance to use dictaphones and video cameras to record radio and TV adverts. This was the first time I had used a dictaphone and thought it was a really effective use of ICT that could easily be implemented into the primary classroom. It also gave us the chance to receive immediate feedback from both our peers and the classroom teacher.

Later in the week, we used ICT in a number of ways during our Science lessons. Firstly we passed the wireless keyboard around so that everyone could contribute to the question that had been placed by the classroom teacher. We were then given the opportunity to use the interactive whiteboard and various packages that could be used. We were also taught how we could turn our word processed documents into our own interactive packages that we could use in the classroom. I found this opportunity a real confidence booster and would feel more at ease, when using the IWB in the classroom on my placements.

Today in ICT we learnt how to use WIKIs - the resource we were shown should be very useful when finding suitable resources when on SBT's. The WIKI seemed very easy to use and I hope to use in more in the coming weeks.
