ICT in my week at school

As I spent last week in school I thought I would write my Blog about my ICT experiences there. We used three types of ICT resources whilst I was in the classroom:

• We used computers - the school had a computer suite but unfortunately not enough computers for one class to all work on their own computer. They did however have one between two which seemed to work quite well for the tasks we did. From what I could see they also had some interesting and useful software for several different subjects. The main drawback however was that I could see the availability of the suite may become a problem as it also doubled up as a music room.
• There was also an interactive whiteboard in each classroom. In our classroom, it proved to be a great resource and really good fun to use with DVDs and games for the children. I found several different games and a quiz as well as information on the firework code on the internet, which the children were able to play as a class on the whiteboard.
• They also had a CD player which was used to play soft music to calm the children down at the end of the day.

I think that there are a lot more ICT resources at the school, which I look forward to using during my placement!
