Implementation of technology integration in my colleagues 1.6.4


My colleagues at work at first seemed not be in position take this whole integration of ICT thing very seriously. The survey, however, has proved me wrong. I see that the interest is there much as few are willing to part with a cost to gain this benefit. I strongly believe that now that we have a larger number able to operate a computer, almost have able to access the internet and easily search for information online and all willing to learn more about ICT; I believe they are ready to pursue! I will get to group them up in an effective way to ensure that the ones who know more are able to make the ones who know less be at the same level with them. As we get along we may all be at the same level probably some day. You-tube video and other tutorials are going to be very instrumental in meeting our goals and so have to be downloaded and made accessible to the staff. We also now have to find a way of making the computer laboratory administration team design a convenient schedule for us. The computer laboratory seems to have all the resources we need.
I have personally seen myself grow from the same no idea state to having reasonably commendable knowledge in ICT integration. With support from those who have had more experience I have developed this far. Videos have been a very effective tool for me so has curating following some resourceful people online etc. I know they can make it!

Insight into my project work 6.2.4

In an attempt to state the curriculum objectives of the project with specific 21st Century skills and higher-order skills, I have written down the following: Objectives: Identify aquatic organisms in a water sample. (curriculum) Use sampling and counting techniques to estimate population size. (curriculum) Collaborate in groups to agree, with substantial reasoning, on the most appropriate sampling method to apply for each of the different water samples to be taken.(21st Century skill) Critically examine data on numbers of micro-organisms in the different samples and, considering other environmental factors observed, draw a conclusion about the patterns. (21st Century skill) Create a blog with content compiled by all learners, containing details of the story of the entire project, the observations made and the conclusions/hypothesis deduced.  (higher order thinking) Together influence the community to implement workable solutions which either guarantee the safe use of drink...

6.5.4 Reflect: Role playing in PBL

It is in this lesson of the course that I have eventually come to fully comprehend what Project Based Learning is all about. Its about applying all the skills the teacher has learnt to ensure that there is full engagement of the learner during the teaching-learning process.  In order to engage learners we have to be creative, imaginative, and innovative. We strive to: Draw in the students' interest to the topic,Capture their imagination in the real-life scenario of the task, Engage them cognitively through real-life responsibilities and role playing. This is a very exciting teaching - learning experience in which both the learner and teacher are highly enthused in the process. It is needless to mention that the entire project will give the learner an early exposure into applying the skills, so far built in their school life, in real "work-like" experiences. For instance, a learner may get engaged in a real debate to pass a controversial law; participate in a human rights...

Research proves that children can perform better if teachers expectation of them is higher

Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson's study showed that, if teachers were led to expect enhanced performance from children, then the children's performance was enhanced. This study supported the hypothesis that reality can be positively or negatively influenced by the expectations of others, called the observer-expectancy effect. Rosenthal argued that biased expectancies could affect reality and create self-fulfilling prophecies. All students in a single California elementary school were given a disguised IQ test at the beginning of the study. These scores were not disclosed to teachers. Teachers were told that some of their students (about 20% of the school chosen at random) could be expected to be "intellectual bloomers" that year, doing better than expected in comparison to their classmates. The bloomers' names were made known to the teachers. At the end of the study, all students were again tested with the same IQ-test used at the beginning of the study....
