For me, right now, the beginning is my up-coming prac experience and how I can effectively integrate ICT into my lessons. Currently there is not a lot of ICT incorporated into instruction in my class, other than the use of worksheets on the computer and the occasional YouTube clip or images sourced from the internet.
I guess I can consider myself lucky to have a blank canvas.
During my prac block I have been given the task of introducing Time in 5 minute increments and a SOSE unit on the local area. I see potential!
Ideas for integrating ICT into Maths: Time 5 minutes:
Initially I will be using programs to keep a record of my diagnostic testing, which will show me whether or not students are getting the concept or need further explicit teaching.
Ideas for integrating ICT into SOSE lessons: Local Area:
As a class we will be discovering where we live using Google Earth, Google Maps or Near Maps. As a rule, my school does not allow students to use Google Earth or Maps. This is due to the fact that if 20+ students are trying to access this at once, it slows down the system. Therefore it is more likely that Near Maps will be used instead.
As I am encouraged to interview people from around the area to see how it has changed over the years, I am thinking of using Skype for the students to conduct the interview. If this not possible, I will use a video camera to tape an interview (using the students' questions) and show to the class.
If anyone has any ideas which they think might be useful in these two learning areas, please feel free to give me your suggestions.
It's now time to sign off and get my lessons ready for prac so that I can start on my ePortfolio.
