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]-

7.3 1 – old things and old ways – dedicated technology venues 9 years, 8 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, 8 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, 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. -
