7.3 1 – old things and old ways – dedicated technology venues 9 years, 8 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 1 – old things and old ways – dedicated technology venues 9 years, 8 months agoTwaha and Prossy – Questions about the Low Density Labs
1) How does the Teacher deal with delays in task execution and
ensure that all the students are actively working and engaged?
2) How do the students quickly access the shared information and
keep the timelines with not enough computers for all?
3) How does the teacher effectively…[Read more]-
– Can we make use other other technologies like tablets or smart phones so that all the students remain engaged on the same activity?
– How does the teacher ensure that the alternative technologies don’t turn into time wasters?-
I agree Twaha, the teacher must be able to ensure that there is no time wasting.

once the internet is on free access in some parts like kampala, information will be easily accessed.

7.3 1 – old things and old ways – dedicated technology venues 9 years, 8 months agoDear Fellow experts – Summary of our findings from Group C i.e Twaha and Prossy.
General Observations on Old Things and Old Ways.
This refers to using a tech tool to do things inthe same old way with no functional change. This is at the lowest level of the SAMR model.
– using Evernote instead of handwritten notes.
– keeping records and assessments…[Read more]-
I agree. Old wine in new wine skins –
– Students print out worksheet, finish it, and pass it in.
-A Word Processor replaces a Pen/Pencil in a Writing Assignment.
– Reading Shakespeare texts online.
-Distributing a quiz in a Word Processor file format and have student fill in answers on a computer. -
good

7.3 1 – old things and old ways – dedicated technology venues 9 years, 8 months agoHi members to me, I do believe that we are looking at old things in old ways in relation to the use of technology. This then mean that old things in old ways imply doing what we have been doing many years ago in the same way but using technology. I do mean to say that doing things with technology the way we have been doing without technology. To…[Read more]

Yes Esther, it’s true those are the same things we were doing without technology and still what we do with it. As long as there is no fundamental change, then we are just substituting as in the SAMR model!!
-
so long as the attitude is changed and we wholesomely welcome technology, nothing is impossible.
-
True Walter we need to show that technology is relevant and very important in the teaching/learning process.

4.1 Changing Landscape 10 years, 10 months agoHello members, I have watched the two videos and as the two videos put it, digitization has put a lot of information at a disposal for our learners thus bringing learning from a completely different dimension. This as brought out by the two videos has been discovered by our learners and they have come to look at our mode of delivery in classrooms…[Read more]

Indeed Fiona the the information at our disposal is enormous. However our role then as teachers is to guide our students on how to access authentic information and guard them against any form of exploitations that may arise from exloring the digital landscae.
-
yaah that’s the best way to go, but when we plan we need to cater for all what is required regardless of the challenges.
-
I agree with you Walter, there is need for planning and taking our students through what they should expect. We should caution them of the dangers they are likely to face.

4.1 Changing Landscape 10 years, 10 months agoThe videos are highlighting the goodness of net searching, how easily one can access information but cautioning us teachers that as much as the students can get everything just by googling, they are prone to get wrong information, meet challenges such as cyber bullying where many teenagers have fallen victims to imposter accounts, sexual slur,…[Read more]

This is well-said. You are identifying your challenge for this course. What about the positives? How does the digital landscape offer our students opportunities?
-
Thanks Gerald, the positives are that they can access a lot of great staff from good sources, such as first class universities, the class is everywhere as long as they have the gadgets, can collaborate with others and can communicate with others within the twinkle of an eye, among others.
-
-
its very true, some times you find students arguing about a very wrong concept, simply because they accessed it from the internet, so a lot of guidance and help is needed as students collect data as from the videos
