Hello everyone.
Today I have learned how to create a blog and was pleased to find that it was easier than I anticipated. Phew. I had to do this as part of my ICT option on the PGDE course.
I chose ICT because I am definitely not the best with technology and my I have minimal experience using it in a classroom setting. I have yet to use a Smart board. Oh. Dear. Me. I hope that this class will teach me a lot and that it will take me out of my comfort zone. I look forward to reading everyone else's blogs! Here goes...
I've similar reasons for choosing this course! I'm sure we'll be trailblazers for using technology in schools after this course. I notice Smartboards are on the schedule so you'll be a whizz soon at them!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteAt least we're aware that this is stuff we need to know and we're not hiding from it and pretending we will be able to get through our teaching careers without these important skills.
I agree. We are doing the right thing doing this course and just think of all the skills we will have when we next go out on placement. Smartboards here we come.
ReplyDeleteI haven't used a smart board either! haha posting on this soon.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to become a ICT professional!!
ReplyDeleteHello everyone, I'm also not great when it comes to using computers and technology,so that's why i also decided to take this ICT option.
ReplyDeleteHowever I did use a smartboard a few times when I was on placement, and I just thought I would let you know that it was very easy to get the hang of. So if I can do it there's hope for us all.lol
Most of what passes as ICT competence is just having enough gumption to press buttons and open menus to see what's there! This is something you are are clearly already doing as testified by the funky blog theme you have chosen.
