watching sand shaping. The use of both computers (desktop and
laptops) and Ipads is found countlessly used regularly throughout
the school. The prep class I observe particularly uses the computers
in rotating literacy groups where once a week each group has the
opportunity to use the technology to do reading games and
comprehension. In my opinion the teacher of this prep class is
utilizing the ICT as an enhancement to her pedagogy with a clear
focus on the learning context rather than using the technology as a
gimmick.
ICT used in the correct way, has the opportunity to really enhance
learning across all ages. With access to a world of information
through the Internet, it opens a lot of door to new learning
experiences. Having twenty-four hour access to thousands of games
that actively integrate new skills in both literacy and numeracy,
gives the opportunity for students to work at their level in a fun and
engaging way.
