As we come to the ICT module, I thought it would be a good idea to discuss my opinions of ICT as a result of the module.
We have seen some great ways in which ICT can be used in the classroom, and I think that I have a renewed appreciation for ICT, particularly in reference to the e-confidence framework. I plan to think about this in my future planning so that my lessons that feature ICT are at least enhancing and extending the children's learning. I don't think thatit is wrong to exchange non ICT for ICT occasionally, so long as that is not the extent of the ICT in the children's expierence.
I also think that this module has highlighted the need for times in school without ICT. The prevailing image of children using ICT is a group of individuals staring blankly at a screen. There are times when it breaks down and is useless and other times where is it amazing. As I said in an earlier post, we should definately teach children to live in a world where ICT is all around and how to use it to maximum effect, but also to live in a world without it.
This will probably be my last post here I imagine, but i fyou like you can join my hundreds of loyal followers at http://chris-contemplates.blogspot.com/ which is updated occasionally.
