A very wide ranging discussion was had this week. Many of
the teachers who participated were actively involved in embedding ICT tools
into their everyday teaching whether it be the use ion Nintendo DS for numeracy
to the use of class blogs to highlight achievement and to record learning.
It was generally agreed that using ICT in lessons helps to
engage and enthuse students and creates a link with their ‘outside of school’
lives. It was also suggested that the uptake of new technologies is very
depended on the teacher although it was suggested that CCEA’s ICT Accreditation
scheme was helping to broaden the reach of ICT.
Teacher’s were very willing to share links to their own work
and to web tools which are having an impact in their classrooms. I have tried
to consolidate all the links below but if there are any omissions please add
them in the comments section at the bottom of this article.
