learning most e ff ective for individual learning Most interesting aspect for individual learning pair work
whole class or one to one lessons
The children are learning new things in
a new and fun way.
Time management can be
tricky with children working
individually
Individual research and information
gathering
Children can self correct using spelling
and grammar tools
my school is very badly
resourced. I have never been
able to give this a go
They are growing up in an era of an
ever-changing technological
environment and already have a vast
amount of prior knowledge already
attained.
I do not believe interactive
technology to be effective when
children are not given a clear
outline of what they are using it
for. Children need to be given
some direction before and
throughout using it.
Interactive technology is an
excellent resource to expand
children's prior knowledge on a
topic being studied, or to allow
them do some research for a
current classroom project. Pair
work with interactive tech is very
effective as the children learn from
each other.
The ease at which they navigate new
websites and their ability to scan
information and take the important
points from it.
Listening without the
requirement of giving feedback.
Anything that requires a response
that can be measured.
The ability to allow children to work
independently, at their own level and to
often let the learning be driven by
them.
there is a big difference
between children's ability to
use software and applications
Ipads-the children get half an hour of
ipads a weeks. During this time, the
children practice their letters, play
interactive maths games, read for the
teacher and use phonic games to help
break down words.
Whole class performing the
same task
Individual discovery learning
Individual project work
Unplanned lessons or
unresearched applications
made by the teacher. I think it is
of vital importance that
teachers, themselves need time
to explore apps and critically
evaluate them (in seeing their
educational worth before
inviting the children to use
them.
Tiny achieveable tickable targets -
simple step by step instructions
which are pre-thought and easy to
follow to ensure all abilities are
catered for. Appropriate language
needs to taught discretely prior to
using IT e.g. tabs, power, interface,
apps (using visual cues).
Pupil enjoyment or satisfaction. All
children love to handle/use IT.
