My first week on Practical Experience…
After 7 days at a highly technology based school, I have learnt so much about the way in which to incorporate technology within the classroom. 8 out 10 of the lesson I have taught have been using the Smartboard within the classroom. In comparison to other practical experience I have had within the classroom at other schools the difference in the children’s learning is amazing. The students’ absorb more information when the learning is practical and the lesson is fun. For teachers designing lessons on the Smartboard is so quick and easy, it is fantastic. The school has a Smartboard within every classroom, to ensure all students have the same learning experience. From Kindi to year 6 the students are all using technology everyday and teachers are encouraged to use them as much as possible. The ICT department is always offering assistance to the teachers to ensure they are all up to date with all available software and programs. The Principle of the school has an amazing passion to make his school one of the best technology schools around.I now see how valuable and important and rewarding it is to incorporate technology within the classroom.
