ICT Assessment

Information Communication Technology Assessment went well! I had a scheduled appointment with Dr. Gatin this morning on Skype (map); it involved sharing my full screen while he observed and directed me as I browsed from my blog to my wiki. This assessment completes the course "Using Technology & Computers in Education (EY/MY)."

Me & You Tube...!

So the task of the day was to create a you tube account and then broadcast a spliced video which is an edited version of two or more videos.

jing

A fantastic way to capture videos, images and sounds on your computer. Jing is a perfect example to use for visual and audio learners, for instance in math or social studies. When demonstrating steps to an algebra equation, jing could be the perfect tool to use.

podcasts and podbeans

A couple of more downloads today. Very useful stuff! These would be handy to use as teachers and students because they can record and replay information relating to lessons/lectures and presentations.

Interesting!

Learning one thing after another! Exactly how learning should be! Things need to be interesting to motivate some children to learn and using technology (especially computers) can do just that. I am intrigued by this course as a student and future educator because of the tools introduced to help accomodate differentiated instruction/learning.
