My thoughts on the Module!!

I've really enjoyed this ICT module, I have found it very interesting and extremely useful to my future teaching. I have learnt a lot of useful skills from the session tasks and I hope to use a lot of these in my next placement. I did know that it was possible to do some of these things in the classroom, but for most of them I was unsure of exactly how to do them. I was surprised at how simple most of the tasks were to complete. I struggled initially with some of the tasks, but after a few minutes trying out various different ways of using the equipment/software I seemed to pick it up relatively quickly, which I was quite impressed at!

I have found the task of the blog also more beneficial than I thought I would. It has given me a way to reflect on the weekly sessions as well as see what other people have thought about them. I think that this has been one of the better tasks, because it is ongoing and you can really get into the reason for completing one. I think that these would very useful in schools, especially during topic work to see how the children are developing!

I have seen how having some skills can help with the understanding of other tasks, I have used some of the skills that I learnt in the interactive mapping session to enhance the Powerpoint that I am using for my presentation. I feel that I have learnt many things and have broken down several barriers throughout this module with my thoughts on ICT. I feel a lot more confident in teaching a variety of ICT skills in my future placements now because of this module. I now hope that I have the opportunity to demonstrate this skills at some point!
