Using ICT in my teaching

Throughout the course of SBT 1 I used ICT in my teaching mainly through interactive activities on the IWB and the use of digital photography to record other practical lessons and trips. The children seemed to really engage with the technology and really enjoyed the hands on activites on the whiteboards and digital simulations such as a video of the water cycle and of sea animals.
The children themselves were able to use laptops in their literacy lessons in order to word process their own versions of the Cinderella story and produce a display on the water cycle.
In the future I would definitely continue to incorporate interactive and visual ICT resources into my lessons as they clearly enhanced and furthered the childrens understanding. I would also have provided more opportunities for them to conduct their own research on the internet and compile their own projects based on their findings as time constraints prevented me from being able to do this in this particular placement.
