This is extremely beneficial for the children as they were learning through play whilst enhancing their knowledge both in school and at home which improves results and higher achievement. The interactive whiteboard gives lessons a different outlook to the traditional method of chalk and talk as it helps aid visual learners whilst giving opportunity for class discussions and positive behaviour. Using the Interactive whiteboard gives a lot more opportunities for teachers to present their lesson plans, making it more motivating and interesting for the children and helps keep them more focused and interested in what their being taught. It is clear that ICT in schools when used appropriately is a positive resource for both teachers and children and will continue to benefit children’s personalised learning throughout the curriculum.

Security is one of the priorities of the school allowing more focus on teaching and student learning. The Parent Welcome Center provided warmth and a family type atmosphere with a place to sit and read to your child. The Parent Welcome Center also provided helpful information for the parents on childhood educational and parenting skills to broaden themselves. The classrooms are laid out for the teacher to help optimize the children’s needs and to improve teacher work flow. The resources for the children are at a higher standard for learning and motor skill development.
Individual students will be using their iPads consistently throughout the day. They will be used across the curriculum with students blogging, interacting on our class wiki, and creating multimedia projects. In small group instruction, specifically Tier 2 instruction, the iPads will be used to differentiate instruction. During small group instruction I will using Apps that compliment our units of study. Some students made need help with basic math facts while other students are ready to do some enrichment problem solving with their mathematics.
Through weebly FHS communicates to hundreds of students when they are at home or in school. Students can use weebly to improve their exam results or can gain knowledge about certain topic that they do not have any previous knowledge about. Through weebly students can also take extra lessons when they are at home. These lessons are provided by teachers to students in order to improve their knowledge of the certain topics. An example of this is Mr Bradford (head of maths department) provides online lessons to GCSE’S and A level math students so that they can learn certain topics that they are weak at.

By designing activities based around computers and technology, Information Technology learners will feel more comfortable and confident completing tasks. An example of this could be setting an activity for the class to play a maths related online computer game and then to write an evaluation using a word processing package. The learners will be give a printed brief of their task showing the website address to access the game and the criteria to consider when writing their evaluation. Function skills are embedded in this session as the learner would have to be able to: • Listen and interpret the instructions of the task. • Read the website address to access the maths game.
With advancements in technology, some students have chosen to complete their schoolwork through the Internet, rather than in traditional classrooms. Those who support a traditional classroom approach to learning argue that it provides more of an opportunity for students to interact with the teacher and other students. Those who feel that learning over the Internet is better argue that it allows students to learn anytime and anywhere they choose. Do you feel education is better provided in traditional classrooms or when offered over the Internet? Write an essay to be read by a classroom teacher in which you persuade the reader that either traditional classroom education or Internet-based learning is better.With advancements in technology, some students have chosen to complete their schoolwork through the Internet, rather than in traditional classrooms.
A TA provides help and support to both teachers and pupils, as well as supporting children in the classroom in a variety of different ways. Teachers should discuss with the TA, what activities will be taking place, in order for the TA not only to prepare and organise resources, but also to have a clear understanding of the LO for each class, and to know what they should be doing in order to help each child achieve this. TA’s responsibilities within the classroom also involve helping with teaching provisions, maintain records and liaise with parents. One of the main roles of a TA’s job is to relay, explain and support the children in how to do the work. Then
As educators all over the country we are faced with having to embrace and implement technology into our schools and for teachers their lessons. We have students who are very skilled with technology and in order to keep they engage and involved in the lessons we have to incorporate technology into our lessons and move away from the lecture style of teaching and create more interactive lessons that will keep students motivated in the classrooms. Special needs students require more funding and services to provide them with the tools and materials that they need to be successful in school. The special education has really changed over the years because we now have districts moving from the out of district placements and now have more of the special education students in inclusion classrooms and of course we still have the resource rooms and the self contained classrooms. Many districts because of costs are not seeking out of district placements but instead are creating programs within the various school districts that mirror the out of district programs.
Teaching and learning styles must change if education is to propel into the future with quality-educated teachers and students. This concept will impact the administrators by keeping a growing number of new teachers in the teaching field. Students are changing on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis due to technology such as the Internet and interactive games. Mentor and novice teachers create new thinking when they implement learning styles which are fresh and exciting. This is a pivotal way of changing mentor and novice teacher’s practices for the sake of good teaching.
