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

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?

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 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, 5 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 3 – new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies? 9 years, 5 months agoWe need to move on to the redefinition state of the SAMR model of technology intergration.

How do we do this Julius? One way is to smartly integrate mobile devices as handy materials to enhance learning but this begins with coming out with a policy.

7.3 3 – new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies? 9 years, 5 months agoHello memebers , Julius and Patricia this is what we have highlighted about new things and old ways.
Straight away to answer the question will old tactics work with mobole technologies, the truth is no. New things will work best when the approaches are also changed.As also Elliot Soloway states “I’am petrified that we’ll apply new technology…[Read more]

Thanks Julius and Patricia for these highlight, its very true the inadequate of web enabled devices is the cause for technology failure
-
Thanks Julius.

I agree with you Julius that the old pedagogy can not work with the new technologies. Over 2000 years ago Jesus Christ said “new wine can not be put in old wine skin; but new wine is for new wine skin” The mobile revolution in schools poses a potential for learning only if we can use the devices not to mechanize and standardize learning, but to…[Read more]

Take about breaking the walls project,mobile devices if planned for and integrated in our teaching /learning activities can go along way demystifying the myth of the classroom as being the only place where learning takes place
-
there is a lot of wasted learning space in schools
-
-
phones are even prohibited in most schools is not all schools, apart from tertiary institutes and universities.

The introduction of subsidiary ICT in secondary schools is a initiative by the Uganda government but its not smoothly moving because of the limited facilities like computers, whiteboard, rooms and etc. We believe that most schools still use…[Read more]

Very true , one computer, some times they even have more but they only use the devices in the classrooms. We have not thought of learning beyond classroom walls. And this takes us back to old basket.e

I wish to agree with Mr. Bulamba that the current way mobile technologies are integrated in teaching is like doing new things in old ways. The very old pedagogies are still being used to teach using the mobile devices. However, I see good potential for learning using the mobile devices if pedagogy can be changed to suit the new wave of mobile…[Read more]

True Martin and Sulaiman. The unwillingness of teachers to let learners use their personal devices in studying which by the way could be more efficient than the one computer in class makes it difficult for them to fully infuse technology in their teaching.
It could be that they are not well grounded in the integration of ICT in the teaching and…[Read more] -
the technology tools used in schools, what i have noted that the teachers have not realized their potential. they simply don’t know what they can do (the extent)
