Group 1b-3 Activity 3 Learner’s Charter  (Reflection - )

The online collaborative exercise was enjoyable and inspiring.  Just being able to work with other educators in the same field on different project really intrigues me.   There are so many ideas going around in my head now that I can’t wait to share them with my other colleagues.  These ideas will certainly allow us to use this collaborating ICT tool.

I am so excited about the Learners charter.  The results of the Learners Charter, was attention-grabbing to me.   My colleagues were able to put themselves in the place of a learner and come up with a statement, and I believe I can say confidently that the majority of these statements were connected to the feelings of their little learners.  

Therefore if our ‘techno” learners of this age are to participate actively in our classroom, we have to allow them to have ICT at every subject. 

We can sum up all the Learners Charter statements by saying:  Learners and educators have the right to access any material or resource that is going to improve their quality of learning in this ICT enriched environment.

Module 2A-4 Activity 4 : Spreadsheets for Administrative purposes: Recordbook (Reflection)

Module 2A-4 Activity 4:  Spreadsheets for Administrative purposes:  Recordbook   (Reflection)

The spreadsheets activity focused on the management of data in various formats.  It starts simple and then moves into more complex formulas. 

Spreadsheets provide invaluable tools to teachers for them to collect and calculate data of all types.  Beyond arithmetic, teachers can format data to create clear concise reports, Excel would allow teachers to move away from the boring (dull) task of calculating student grades and averages every term.  Just by a mere clicking of a button the creation of students report is done. As teachers excel will definitely  provide a method where we can be more organized and analyzed.

Module 2A-4 Activity 3 Word processor as an administrative resource‏ (Reflection)

Word processors are the most used technology tools in education, with application to assist teachers in their lesson plan and assist in creating that activity that would capture their student’s attention. 
Furthermore a teacher’s work is made easier when a document can be adapted for a new need rather than created from scratch.  By just using the word processor to write assignments, creating reports, and even to write letters home, we are creating a personal database of material for future use.      Oh yes, my administrative document that was created are a suspension form and a transcript.  (Templates created for future use)
It is significant for teachers to understand that the word processor makes text consistently easy to read.

Module 2A4:  Activity 3 Classroom Materials

PowerPoint is a high-powered software tool used for presenting information in a dynamic slide show format. Text, charts, graphs, sound effects and video are just some of the elements PowerPoint can incorporate into your presentations with ease. 

Students are all fascinated by these features especially the different sounds. It captures the student’s attention and keep them focus on the lesson.
