Q Do you know of any other statues of famous people? Back to top Why use ICT Demonstrating: Using ICT the teacher can effectively illustrate procedures to show pupils how to sequence a set of images using drag and drop and then add text in the relevant places. Accessing and analysing: ICT gives the opportunity to use a variety of approaches that incorporate pupils preferred learning styles. It allows access to information in multi-media format that can be easily differentiated to accommodate different learning styles and approaches. The use of ICT to quickly change the information provides the teacher with opportunities to engage with pupils and, in particular, facilitates analysis and interrogation. Presenting, re-presenting and communicating: ICT opens up a new opportunity for presentation. By presenting the life of Florence Nightingale in multimedia format, the presentation is more exciting and engaging, creating motivating outcomes it enables the teacher to focus pupils on specific features and further explore, unpack or elucidate the content. Once the presentation is created it forms a reusable resource. Testing and confirming: In this vignette the use of ICT takes advantage of the opportunities provided by the speech facilities available in Talking First Word and Textease enabling pupils to work more independently and test and confirm what they have written. |
