7.3 2 – old things and new ways – one technology device in the classroom 9 years, 5 months agoAnother way for the teacher to utilize the one available device is through the use of digital demonstrations and flash animations integrated in the lessons.

7.3 2 – old things and new ways – one technology device in the classroom 9 years, 5 months agoThe learners can explore the internet information on their own and gather more information about a topic.
Even in their groups, they could still be encouraged to start up their own libraries of information on topics or tasks assigned to them by their teachers. -

7.3 2 – old things and new ways – one technology device in the classroom 9 years, 5 months agoWith only one technology device in class, the teacher can still go ahead and put the learners in smaller groups and allocate each group enough time to use the device. The device would therefore have to be shared and a schedule has to be put in place that all groups should adhere to.

Students have ever-increasing expectations of being able to work, play and learn on these devices whenever they want and wherever they may be. Once banned from the classroom in some developed countries, mobile devices and apps are…[Read more]

Social media is one of the pervasive technologies. As much as schools and institutions block their use, students always find a way of accessing them for their own benefit. Teachers need to utilise this and use it profitably for students’ learning and achievement.

7.3 2 – old things and new ways – one technology device in the classroom 9 years, 5 months agoHullo members. I think that one of the key questions we should look at is; How can a teacher get to combine what the learners know about technology with what they the teachers know and require about education?
Secondly, What can a teacher do to facilitate research and collaboration amongst the learners given the only one technology device in the classroom.-
Good Observation Margaret. The questions are ok!

– 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.
