In today’s society ICT is an important component of
student’s education, so with enthusiasm, confidence and skills, educators can
provide a modern education program for their students.
One specific way to
motivate unmotivated students to learn in class, is to use a variety of
computer technology in the classroom. This is something I now feel very
strongly about. However this enthusiastic outlook to ICT in class was not
always a part of my teacher pedagogy. I have to admit to being a little
apprehensive about incorporating ICT in the classroom.
This is mainly due to my primary school experience which
was far more teacher centered and there was a minimum amount of ICT used.
Furthermore, I believe that my insecurity with ICT in the classroom had a lot
to do with a lack of confidence, understanding and skills.
Fortunately, this semester I was introduced to the ICT in
teaching and learning which has changed
my entire outlook to ICT in the classroom. I have been introduced to a range of
computer ideas which I can see as tools to enhance learning.
One important factor I have learnt in this module, is that
ICT can be integrated into any learning activity and enhance learning affectively, if careful
planning and programming is completed by the teacher.
Through this module I now feel
confident with using Technology with students, as I am building an array of
skills and resources which can be used in class to enhance learning.
Madam Shova, I am going through the glimpses that you have posted. it was an interesting and indeed great privilege for me to go through your piece of analysis. Well, you are taking ICT class for lower class for the first time so in this case you may have encountered challenges. To this connection, I will be grateful to you if you could share the challenges you faced and how you addressed that problems.
