ICT in the Classroom
I agree with Erin’s commentary in relation to Bill Ferriter’s blog. For technology to work effectively in the classroom, teachers must be able to embrace change and “policy makers must step upt ot the plate”. Teachers are constantly neing challanged, therefore, there needs to be support readily available for them; and teachers need the time and resources invested in/for them to grow as learners. Ferriter goes on to suggest that teachers receive the “right kind of professional development”. I agree, teachers need the training necessary to be able to teach and aid children in ICT learning. I like how Erin put it, she said, “I personally plan to start small and progressively and sequentially expand my horizons through experimentation and professional development courses”… It’s all about risk-taking!
