Part of our final week’s reflection required us (not compulsory) to reflect on our Professional Experience (PE) particularly our views on the role of ICTs in learning and teaching.
Here’s mine:
I used to think of ICTs as
- Expensive and that is the reason not all school wiling to invest upon.
- Difficult to learn and require constant updating (software and skills).
- Time consuming because teacher need more time to prepare lesson.
Towards the end of the course, my perception of ICTs did change a little. I had children paying full attention to my lessons. I had children eager to ask question.
I think if ICTs are used correctly
- Engage children learning
- Create exciting learning experience
- Provide platform for future engagement in ICT tools
- Connect children with wider learning network
This is what my coursemate said about ICT integration!
