2.6 Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
'Alex has excellent ICT skills with his knowledge broadened by beginning use of the schools 'Daymap' learner management system' (VHHS Report).
'His use of technology was exceptional. His use of an online program called 'cahoots' caught the attention of many other teachers regarding its possibilities' (Gleeson Report).
Both schools I worked in used different learner management systems, VHHS used 'Daymap' and Gleeson used 'iScholaris'. This gave me much to learn and allowed me to see the value of using such systems to increase student learning. I was able to interact and utilise both these systems whilst on my placements. I found 'Kahoots' to be particularly engaging for middle years students that would often enquire when the next opportunity to use the online quiz site would be. I also had the opportunity to utilise projectors, cameras and computer rooms throughout my placements.
