Hi this is my first post talking about ICT in primary school. Well.... I am not really completely sure on my views on this!! I rely on ICt during most of my lessons when I am teaching, especially in introductions and plenarys. I think that they are a brilliant visual aid, if it is just a few powerpoint slides revealing the learning objectives for the lesson. The poweroints are also good to remind me what I am wanting to cover, especially if I am being assessed and am nervous.
I think that it is amazing how much ICT has developed since I was at school. It is great that you have got the internet very easily accessible, and for watching short videos in class, maybe showing religious artefacts, it is a brilliant visual aid!!
The interactive whiteboards I think are good too. Dragging objects in sessions like fractions in maths is great and the children love playing all the different educational games that are availabe from different websites.
Children have so much knowledge on ICT now and I do believe that as teachers we do need to keep up to date with these advances, we do not want to be slowing the children down but enthusing them!!
There are many positives about ICT and it is quite exciting how fast the technology is advancing.
