Below, shows a presentation that was used in an ICT subject to teach students in year 12. This is a form of communication as the teacher will present the PowerPoint and the students will ask or answer questions. Presenting a presentation will aid communication because not only does it produce words for the audience to see, it can also create images, sound, videos and animations.…
There are several different ways to deliver a presentation. You can use a slideshow using software such as Microsoft PowerPoint. This allows you to display text, videos, pictures/photos, music etc. Generally a slide will consist of very short bullet points or minimal information so the audience can keep in mind what is being discussed while the presenter gives more information. Presentations can be delivered verbally as a speech, though these tend not to keep the audience’s attention all of the time especially if it is a long speech. Using a projector is another way of delivering a project. It in essence uses a speech type presentation but allows things to be shown to the audience via the projector to keep interest and attention. This method is used a lot in classrooms and during lectures. Flip charts or white boards can also be used as a means of delivering a presentation particularly during interactive sessions where feedback is required from an audience such as while brainstorming or doing a consultation.…
Power-point is good tool but should not be over used. It doesn’t suit all learning styles, so Power-point only formed a part of my lesson.…
Technology has many uses and one of those important uses is in the classroom. Instructional Technology can be used in several ways in the classroom. Some of the ways that software can be utilized in the classroom is to facilitate the ongoing efforts to assess student learning, perform formative assessments, and summative assessments.…
Technology allows students to focus on one thing instead of multiple books and papers. With more and more visual presentations and lectures there will be more flexibility for students to participate. In order for students to be able to give their 100% the lessons’ presentations should be with the latest technology so they can really…

This is where you will show off how you will use technology in the classroom for learning. You can offer specific examples as well as tools. Cite references for how successful these tools are. Cite references for what teachers like best and especially what students like to use in the classroom.…
I value Power-point presentation as a “foundation stone” of teaching resources and usually use it. In addition I use demonstrations, which the class then replicate in small groups to help prevent embarrassment. In this particular learning…
I use technology to take attendance, give a lesson, stay in contact with my parents and students, and plan my lessons. I access curriculum material and resources multiple times during the day. Without technology or resource access make teaching capability would take four steps back. On a few incidences my technology has malfunctioned and I was unable to teach the lesson planned. It felt like a huge part of the lesson and understanding was missing and the lesson needed re-teaching. Technology is a great resource that should be utilized to its fullest…
For schools and universities, both have experienced many changes with the technology that is available. Instead of students having to go to the library to complete their work, most can now just walk into their classroom filled with new desktops and laptops. With the increase of technology in most schools, it is almost becoming a necessity for classrooms to have up to date technology for students. Students that have been able to work with laptops ever since elementary school get so used to the technology available that most find it just standard in classrooms today. In the classroom it does not stop with the computers, now teachers are having smart boards made and put into classrooms. But do these smart boards really help the students learn better? I highly doubt that a smart board in the classroom is going to help a student want to pay attention to another boring lecture of some moment of time in our history. Frankly, that smart board is all but making the teacher’s job easier. Or is it? What if that teacher or professor is a little older than some of us? Someone who is not used to having the high amounts of technology in today’s classrooms may not know how to work that smart board. All that does is waste time. The same can go for students who grew up in low income areas who are not used to working with computers. While others in the classroom are busy typing a paper, this student is probably sitting in the back wondering how to change his font. The fact is too much technology in the classroom can cause negatives for both the student and teacher in many ways.…
In 1838, Horace Mann saddled his horse and set out on a journey to personally examine all of the existing school grounds in Massachusetts. Mann embarked on this trip because he believed that a system of common schools should be developed to offer an education for all of the children in the state. Mann was ultimately successful, and other states soon followed the example, earning Horace Mann the title of “Father of Modern Education”.…
One cold morning a young man by the name of Cyrus was awoken abruptly by his alarm clock. He had spent all the previous night playing games and browsing the internet. He took a shower, ate, threw on his clothes, a Carhartt and went out the door. He went inside the school feeling miserable because he knew he had seven hours left before he could do anything remotely fun again. The extremely disappointing thing is that Cyrus wasn’t the only one. Everyone else walking in the bland metal doors felt the same way. Cyrus ran into some friends, greeted them coldly, and continued to his classroom in room 217. He sat in his seat and set down his twenty pound backpack and pulled out his textbook, notebook, and pen. From there he repeated this six more times. After the long day was over Cyrus had to lug the twenty pounds back home. After he had gotten home Cyrus changed into his work uniform and went to his job at Burger Town. At ten o’clock he came home and did homework till eleven at night. At this point Cyrus was exhausted and just wants to go to bed. A single day may physically drain this young man, but thirteen years of this will emotionally exhaust him.…
Many teachers scowl when they see cell phones or iPods being used in their classrooms, viewing the use of such devices as ultimately disrespectful. Using such devices can be disrespectful. Yet, there is an educational need for such technology. Used in a respectful way, handheld technology can be a progressive way for students to engage learning.…
My approach to teaching is simple, I want to teach my students material that are relevant, applicable and something that they can relate to. According to the video script of this week’s module, the purpose of technology is to enhance learning and engage students (Grand Canyon Univ., 2012). I couldn’t agree with this more, anything that is added to the curriculum should only be added to enrich it. I would use technology to reinforce what is being taught in class, as well as an outlet which students can begin to engage themselves in self-discovery. My mission is to create lifelong learners, and technology definitely will assist me in…
It was difficult for me to pick simply two of the topics that have been discussed in the First Year Teaching Course. I feel that all of them are important when talking about educator effectiveness. For this paper, I decided to look a little deeper into technology in the classroom and response to intervention and instruction (RTII). Those two classes were the classes I learned the most. Therefore, I feel that it would be beneficial to keep adding to my knowledge. It would make me a more effective educator to broaden my knowledge even more than what I learned in class for a few hours.…
