ICT for fun
In many curriculum areas, I have involved technology in the classroom from literacy and numeracy to science and Inquiry units. Teaching 21st century learners requires the use of technology and I am able to make it fun, engaging and an informative experience for students. Here I have displayed all the games, videos, powerpoints I have found and created for my lessons.
Literacy and Numeracy
I try to incoporate ICT in the classroom everyday. Through my experience, I have used laptops in literacy and numeracy sessions.
In literacy rotations, students are given choices of activities with at least one using ICT. Next term, I'll be incoporating ICT in literacy using 'photo story'.
In numeracy rotations, students are given choices of activities with at lease one using ICT. The tasks are either, Study Ladder, Online games etc.
I have used ICT as an assessment where students are to research project information using laptops, complete OnDemand testing for literacy or numeracy or typing and presenting a writing piece along with searched images.
