Students can register their mobile phones to get text or e-mail delivery of assignment notifications, news, discussions, grades, and other information through iLearn. Robin…

I knew that shape would be fresh in the children’s mind and this would influence the outcomes for this particular lesson. I used ICT to enhance the children’s learning, by using the interactive whiteboard at the start of the lesson. This was done to ensure the children understood what they needed to do, when asked to complete their tasks. Additionally, I planned for a group to record their answers through taking pictures on the iPads. The middle…

disease and neglect. I met Marvin, a tall, ninety-year-old hospice patient who was suffering from malignant neoplasm of prostate and bone marrow. He was deaf and nearly blind, and my supervisor from Mission Hospice suggested that I used the small whiteboard in Marvin’s room to communicate with him. Shortly after my arrival, Marvin asked me if I could take him out on his wheelchair, for it had been days since he had been outside of the building. After he felt the sunshine on his skin, he took a…

There are several changes I can make in my classroom to reach my 21st Century learners. As I reflect on my current practices, while I do utilize my SmartBoard and try to incorporate interactive lessons, my students are still mostly doing everything in my class on paper. Although, I am at a disadvantage right now because I do not have daily access to computers, I can try harder to borrow them from the other teachers and check out the library on a regular basis. Next year, we hope to have every…

the classroom library and somewhere cozy for students to independent read. Along with a “u” shaped table for small group reading and conferring. Whole class is just important as anything else in the classroom and this space should be located near whiteboards, computer projector and away from designated small group areas. Once you have set up your classroom for effective literacy practice, it is now time to start planning how to train students to be successful in your well put together literacy…

experience. The use of Instructional technology devices are great for teaching academic skills like writing and reading and subject matter content like science and history. Instructional devices are great for academic skills because they allow interactive learning. “Examples include videotapes, computer-assisted instruction, and complex hypermedia programs in which computers are used to control the display of audio and visual images stored on videodisc.” (Santrock, 2011, p. 243).

have. It came after 11 years of teaching and making the rather large leap from first to fourth grade. You see, I had always prided myself on the fact that I incorporated technology into my lessons. I used the document camera. I used the interactive whiteboard. I used the iPad. I used the… Do you see a pattern here? However, when I made the move to fourth grade and watched my students actually use the technology, it happened. I had my epiphany! It became crystal clear that incorporating…

slowly in class if it were a traditional classroom setting. Following the flip lesson, the next day, students are able to clarify any doubts and consolidate their learning. The in-class activities helps to facilitate the students’ learning via interactive…

technology itself" (BECTA. 2003). Using technologies such as computers, interactive whiteboards, audio recorders and projectors helps to provide learning opportunities for each child in the classroom. Visual learners will respond to seeing diagrams, charts and graphs on a computer screen or interactive whiteboard and manipulating these images; kinaesthetic learners have the opportunity to use a mouse or interactive whiteboard pen to move and manipulate shapes, numbers and images; auditory…

When students rotated to the second station they were challenged to match vocabulary with definitions by piecing puzzle pieces together. As I teach math, it is easy to fall into the same pattern of drill and practice and expecting all students to demonstrate their problem solving skills through completion of math problems. As a special education teacher, within a math classroom, I constantly am thinking of how to accommodate all my students. However, after taking this course, it brought…
