7.3 2 – old things and new ways – one technology device in the classroom 9 years, 5 months agoTeachers can also use their ipads and Tablets to demonstrate and illustrate concepts to the learners and as the devices move round the classroom one student can go ahead to present researched information.

7.3 2 – old things and new ways – one technology device in the classroom 9 years, 5 months agoAs a matter of fact, every educator knows it is essential to keep students engaged. Technology is a central part of our everyday lives and so of course it should be a key aspect to education in order to prepare students for the real world and their future careers.
Using technology in the classroom allows the teacher to experiment more in pedagogy.…[Read more] -

7.3 3 – new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies? 9 years, 5 months agoAfter reading the article about the use of mobile phones in learning and how it is spreading like bush fire among our 21st century learners, I have been convinced that our teaching must be tailored to the way our learners can understand. Even though it is still a gimmick in our secondary schools for any learner to carry and use a mobile phone in…[Read more]

Sulaiman,
This is the greatest of problems we faced in the teaching and learning process. To me any thing that distracts attention among learners is what i may refer to as problem behavior. These are issues as referred to in our task 3. The question is managing these issues.
-
Thank you Stephen

It should not worry a teacher that the student has read ahead! That should be encouraged.

7.3 3 – new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies? 9 years, 5 months agomost important is teacher’s innovation of the old tactics to meet the desired goal, using the technologies.

I think if a teacher has been innovative even with technology he will spark more innovative ideas in lesson preparation and delivery

7.3 1 – old things and old ways – dedicated technology venues 9 years, 5 months agoOld things old ways: Low density labs. These are the questions i have come up about the pictures:
1. How will the teacher deal with delays in task execution?
2. How will the students quickly access the shared information with a few computers available?
3. How will the teacher aviod redundancy likely to happen when all the students dont heve access…[Read more]-
they are great questions

7.3 3 – new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies? 9 years, 5 months agoTo think that old tactics will work with mobile technologies is to deceive ourselves that a leopard will change its spots entrust the keeping of our goats with him.We certainly need to work very hard and fast to integrate mobile devices into our learning system because for now they are here to stay and we should make the best use of them to…[Read more]

that’s why I call for this to emphasized from primary level of education. because you can put an old crooked tree upright, but a young one is very easy to be put up right. this will even lessen the work of teachers at higher level of learning.

7.3 1 – old things and old ways – dedicated technology venues 9 years, 5 months agoI would ask the following questions:
What technical skills do teachers require in order to be effective facilitators in low density computer labs?
What precautions need to be considered when using low density computer labsIn what ways can teachers make their lessons engaging and interesting in these venues?
What would be the appropriate role…[Read more]-
Thanks Nellie, can you put them in the wiki and then edit? I think it may be easier to edit from there where we can easily see repetitions and make amendments. Who is your partner in the home group?
-
Thanks Prossy. Esther Aryemo and Fiona. Let me get there.
-
-
Thanks Nellie for those wonderful questions? What we think of other techology tools to supplement the few available computers?
-
the ways are very many to make pupils engaged. but it depends on what is to be learned
-
True Wandera and Twaha. That is what the teacher has to be on top of things. He needs to be flexible enough and knowledgeable enough to know what technology tools that work.
-
Yes Nellie and we need to teach ourselves how to handle issues regarding challenges with computers like using free resources

7.3 2 – old things and new ways – one technology device in the classroom 9 years, 5 months agoOne of the problems identified with having one technology device is thatl the high ratio of students to a device slows down learning and completion of task.
-
that is true Margret by time they all get a chance to use or see the device so much time will have been wasted, but we can engage those that are waiting and those that have already seen with an exercise.

7.3 1 – old things and old ways – dedicated technology venues 9 years, 5 months agoHi members I conducted the internet search for images of computer labs in relation to doing old things in old ways. I have then realized that, the kind of activities that are possible in these venues that would not be as easily achieved in high density computer labs are the following:
• Computer lab lessons e.g. on Google drive
• Computer lab rul…[Read more]-

7.3 3 – new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies? 9 years, 5 months agoI teach in a Teachers’ College that trains Secondary school teachers in Uganda. The rate at which the possession of mobile devices has proliferated in the recent past poses a great opportunity for the use of the mobile devices for learning purposes. At least 80% of the students possess smart phones, a good number has tablets, MP3 potable media p…[Read more]

You have Saïd it Charles, teachers in fact must use new technologies and Harness it in thé way it is meant to ne used ie interactively , this will d’or sûre engage them and cause
authentic learning. -
Accurate analysis Charles, what we need to do as teachers and curriculum developers is to re-align our pedagogical approaches to match with the current technological advances so that we can make use of mobile devices to enhance learning. in this way we shall avoid substitution but rather move on to augmentation and even re-definition.
-
how I wish that possession of those technology gadgets would be true with primary and secondary. it would do the same to those teachers too.
-
Charles,
Am of the same belief that the new can work with the old ways. Just wanted you to reflect over the following questions:
-What are the old ways in teaching?
-What are the old ways in learning?
Despite the proliferation of devices think what is vital for new vs old to work is much more emphasis on how the two should be streamlined/…[Read more]
