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]

7.3 1 – old things and old ways – dedicated technology venues 9 years, 5 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.

There is an increasing inclination towards Tablet computing, which presents new opportunities to enhance learning experiences in ways simply not possible with mobile phones, laptops or desktops and is especially suited for one-to-one learning environments. High-resolution screens allow users of tablets, such as the iPad and…[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
