How does ICT help with Enhancing Learning?
It is our goal to enhance your child’s learning through using ICT in our classrooms. Children as young as prep age can benefit from using ICT in their schooling. It is often forgotten that Educational technologies include ICT and other technology found in the classroom such as chairs, pens, even the architecture of the classroom itself. ICT help facilitate learning and add to the learning experience.
Some examples of technologies found in a classroom environment which are used to enhance learning are “hardware (interactive white boards, computers, printers), Portable mobile devices (laptops, tablets and Digital cameras) software (word processors, databases and games) and web applications (websites, search engines, pod casts and video streaming) these are just a few different Information Communication Technologies that can be used in a classroom to enhance your child’s education (Churchill, et al., 2013).
As educators we do not want to limit our students by only teaching your children what we were taught and by the same methods we were taught. It is important to note that technology is always changing and it is an injustice to your children to deny them the education they deserve. It is our role as Educators,parents and care givers to help prepare our students/children for the world they will one day be a part of as adults. It is hard but technology is in their future and it can inspire and enhance the education of your child.
There are so many opportunities now with technology to engage our students with materials in fun and exciting ways through the use of ICT. We can not only tell a student information but show them pictures, use websites or search engines,go online and even Skype with professionals. ICT can even help children share their own thoughts and knowledge with others through blogs or webpages and help other students learn. Technology is not something to be feared but embraced as it can take students learning and enhance it to new levels.
