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 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, 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 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 agoAfter they have researched, explored and created a library of knowledge and information, the groups can then share their findings with the rest of the learners in the classroom.

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.

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.

7.3 2 – old things and new ways – one technology device in the classroom 9 years, 5 months agoHello members, The question I think that should also be researched about is; What are the factors that stand in the way of our making more and faster progress in technology adoption in classrooms?
-
You are right Samson. Even with the availability of that one device in class, some teachers’ attitudes may resent or resist utilizing the technology
