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 3 – new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies? 9 years, 5 months agoBulamba ans Martin group C. Hello members these are some of our exploitation of ( new things and old way)
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)

7.3 4 – new things and new ways – what do emerging trends show us 9 years, 5 months agoEmerging trends show us alot about technology use and learner engagement. Some of the trend are:
Flipped Learning
Flipped Learning is a form of blended learning where students learn their lessons at home by watching video lectures and studying content online, and then doing their homework in class. Basically instead of learning directly from the…[Read more] -

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 agoLearners can also be engaged through taking on different personas. This helps them to learn more through experiencing the lives based on real-world data.

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 4 – new things and new ways – what do emerging trends show us 9 years, 5 months agoTablet Computing.
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]-

Education systems are increasingly investigating the use of technology to better understand a student’s knowledge base from prior learning and to tailor teaching to both address learning gaps as well as learning styles. This focus transforms a classroom from one that teaches to the m…[Read more]-

7.3 4 – new things and new ways – what do emerging trends show us 9 years, 5 months agoThese technologies have become a pervasive part of everyday life in much of the world, and are growing everywhere. 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.

I agree entirely.

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!
