Not encouraging ICT
Hi guys,
It seems that other countries are debating and evaluating the
decision to use ICTs in schools. The following article
particularly discusses European schools.
For me, some of the issues raised from this article were that:Teachers are not embracing ICT use in classrooms,Teachers need more pedagogical training to become confident in using ICTs.More money is needed to be able to include ICTs in schools, let alone classrooms and Teachers are not making connections between learning and their
already existing ICT knowledge. Their knowledge about ICT could be used
in their class; however they are just not making links between the fact
that they could use the ICT devices (e.g. mobile phones, Skype) evident
in their personal life, in their classroom.It is important for us as pre-service teachers to gain a
deeper understanding of ICTs, by acquiring useful knowledge and thinking
about what can be learnt through the use of ICTs.
