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.
The mathematics curriculum is intended to give the children a better understanding of numeracy. The end goal means more students will be able to solve a mathematical problem independently using a method that suits them. They can then develop their learning to improve their knowledge and apply it to real life situations; such as counting in groups of numbers such as 5’s or 10’s, which in turn can be applied when paying for shopping with money. As students’ progress they can build on these skills, by recording the levels of achievement, they can be supported to help fully access the curriculum. Mathematical skills in the Early Years are developed through practical work to give the children a better understanding of maths e.g.
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.
To: From: Akeem Whyte Physical, technological and human resources used with in a school Microsoft office software Microsoft office software allows well developed work to be completed to a good standard by pupils and staff. The software provides an important part of school life in terms of teaching lessons and producing work. The software allows the school pupils to gain necessary knowledge and skills for use in slater life as Microsoft office is the most profound and used software in the world Tables and chair For children to work on and to create a formal seating which is appropriate for the work they need to produce and to get them used to the environment of work and exams. Classroom Classes to create quiet working environments
I think for the younger children I will need to implement more colorful objects and thing for them to feel, touch and smell for recognition of the letters we are learning. The classroom setting was wonderful, having all the toys and books and games in the room made it easy for the children to participate in the activity. We planned this out a week in advanced and put together all the things that we were going to need for the activity. Some of the children were distracted easily so I helped them find the objects they were looking for. I think that next time we work on this I will use a helper to keep the children focused on the task at hand.
I believe the educational environment is one of the most important places where the computer is placed. Computers have become an integral part of the education as they allow students and teachers access to information; helps in research projects; and prepares teachers for their jobs. Computer technology has given me the dream of distance learning a reality. I no longer have to limit myself to the classroom. I am able to learn from the comfort of my home and on my schedule.
I chose to focus on the PK-2nd Grade guidelines developed by NETS for Students. It is important to keep in mind that the profile that is set up for PK-2nd grade is meant as a guide for teachers to use as “indicators of achievements at this certain primary stage (“ISTE/NETS,” 2007) and it is based on the assumption or idea that these children will have regular access to several different types of technological tools. There is a multitude of technology that is widely available for the K-12 classroom. Software as simple as Microsoft Powerpoint and as complex as Auto CAD is available for every type of classroom. Hardware such as scanners, digital cameras, and flash drives are also a tiny handful of hardware that is available.
An article called “State line (Changes in Public Education),written by Chris Pipho, talks about how reform of mathematical curricula for schools can be a good change for the school systems. Change in the school district budgets can be good for many students too. Students can receive better textbooks, meaning students will be able to get new and improved ideas and learning strategies from their math curricula. The state doesn’t mind funding the school districts because with new and better school supplies knowing it will help better students, and teachers as well, the teachers will also feel better about teaching student the math lesson, with better curricula from the
Because many students also rely on the computer’s calculator, their ability to learn the proper methods of solving math problems might not be as enhanced. Because the traditional ways of learning are still readily available to students, it is important that parents and teachers encourage children to rely on them and not become solely dependent on
Emerging and Existing Technologies and Children and Young people’s learning. 1 Introduction This report will explore the various methods in which emerging and existing forms of communication through ICT can be used to enhance learning across the curriculum. For this assignment I am going to evaluate the outcomes for using computers and interactive whiteboards in Primary schools. I currently work with children aged five and six that are using both these technologies as part of their everyday learning. So from using different resources and information I am hoping to find out ways in which they assist and encourage children to use different learning methods to foster an enjoyment of learning.
