Station Stop #7

Hello Hello!!

After a visit from John Finch in our ICT class we learned a lot about LwICT. For those who don't know LwICT means learning with ICT. It is just what it sounds like, how can we help our students learn using technology as a resource.
It was really interesting and we got a very informative booklet and poster to help us try and apply it in our next placement. For me I feel like I will be able to apply some of the ideas John talked about, as I am teaching physics. Whereas in my previous placement I may have struggled because I was teaching math in a room with only one computer and smart board. If I was in a computer lab for my math class I understand how I could help students learn using technology but with just one computer I am still having troubles wrapping my head around it. Just something I look forward to learning more about!!
Also we had a discussion about LwICT and John's visit, below is what I posted.
"I really enjoyed this presentation, though it was very fast and there was lots of information in a short period of time. This being said I was wondering if there is a PD on this or do we have to try figure the rest of it out on our own?
 
Another question I have is, we are constantly trying to introduce technology into a variety of "textbook" classes, but in "computer" classes I don't recall having to use a pencil and paper from time to time. Has this changed over time because just as technology is important, so is writing?"
Go ahead and leave a comment if you have anything to add.

Last but not least go ahead and try this quiz that is linked below on technology.
