I have to admit at the start of this course I was daunted by the amount of work required. For someone who hadn’t really use ICTs to their full potential I found the start of the course an information overload. However, just like Jesse in his blog, looking back now I do see the benefits of this course.
Previously, I thought that ICT integration was using a PowerPoint and getting students to research on the net and yes while this is part of it, it is so much more. I really appreciate the RAT framework. It has gotten me to question the use of ICTs in the classroom and aim to integrate ICTs that Amplify and Transform learning. This is one of the key learnings I will take away from the course. I realise now it’s not about the technology you use it’s about how you use the technology. Its been a pleasure writing this blog and my hope for the future is to keep improving and building upon my ICT knowledge and use in the classroom.
Until next time.
