week 2 professional experience

Wow what a week!!
My Professional Experience has been taken place at preschool located in Malaysia ,Kuala Lumpur .The school Physical Education department also supports a number of students with special needs through the Special Education and Early Childhood Department called ‘Perceptual-Motor Development’ program which works to improve student’s physical and academic performance.
Class and school ICT environment and processes
The school has a number of ICT resources shared among the whole school including, 4 IPads, 15 tablets, up to 4 computers in each classroom and a computer lab with approximately 20 to 30 computers and each classroom is also provided with an Interactive Whiteboard. Within the school is an ICT coordinator, who is in charge of all the ICT resources and deals with any ICT technical issues. The school also designates a technology class for a composite class  which offer students the opportunity to learn more with ICTs.
However, in the Physical Education Department ICT’s are very limited and my mentor is not a comfortable or proficient ICT user, and therefore when approached about ICT capacity for practicum lesson planning, my mentor was somewhat reluctant to allow use of ICT’s. Therefore as a result of this, we had come to an agreement that in our Non-contact time I would take small groups of students out and do activities, in which revolved around integrating ICTs into lessons based on physical activities/ games or would use simple ICT tools that would not interfere with the lesson such as using an iPad as a timer or recording students’ performances.
