Module 2A-5: Assignment 3: ICT and the Roles of the Educator

This is perhaps the last post in this particular blog (at least for a while because I am not sure what happens next).  The latter part of the course was very taxing especially in light of a hectic schedule at work. Still this assignment was rewarding.

I was required to re-visit an old lesson and and give it an ICT twist.  I used a software that could simulate electricity labs and it was quite interesting.  The thing is however, that I had access to this software for quite sometime but had never followed through.  I am glad that I eventually did.

I have been encouraging science teachers to use similar approaches and it was a physics teacher who first introduced me to the software.  The ease with which this approach allows students to understand key concepts and the excitement it generates suggest to me that I should forge ahead with plans to assist teachers increase their reliance on ICT for educational purposes.  In fact it will be the subject of a major series of workshops that I am planning for the near future.

Module 1B-4: Assignment 3: ICT in your school - do you have a dream?

Hello World!
I missed quite a few blog entries but I think it is important that I at least give closing thoughts on the process.  This last assignment was the one that caused me to miss my deadline and after that I did not participate in the class discussions as I should have.

The assignment was challenging from the perspective it actually caused me to think very seriously about what it would take to improve the ICT use in my workplace.  I strongly doubt that the things I wrote about will happen soon but at some point in time, thing will have to change and I hope that given the experience of this course, I will be in a position to make a positive contribution to the change process.
