It is now the end of the course, after a very busy year, it has finally come to an end. During this year I have learnt alot about teaching and especially about how to incorporate ICT in to teaching. This was done both through this subject and from my other tutors and my mentor teacher. Some of the highlights have been able to see the theory in practise at my placement schools, watching students interact with the ICT and how it affects the environment of the school. I have found this very fascinating. I have found students seem to enjoy interacting with ICT and it works well as an engagement tool. I have also found ICT very helpful in explaing and exploring complex ideas with my students. It allows for me to be able to cater for multiple intelligences, by using audio, video and kineasthetic. I think this is one of the true advantages of ICT rather than just using the whiteboard and worksheets, this aids in breaking up the lessons for students and giving them a variety of experiences. I also think it is important for students to develop strong ICT skills as they are becoming increasingly more important as time goes on and seem to be incorporated into nearly every job these days. One of the disadvantages of ICT is it is highly unreliable so it is important that the teacher has a back up plan incase the technology fails and they can not do the planned lesson. Overall so I believe ICT has many more benefits than disadvantages.
This will be my final blog on this site thank you for taking your time to read my posts! :)
