It is down to the final module :) . I am excited as the finish line is in sight. It is obvious from the discussions with the other teachers that schools in Antigua are in varying phases of ICT integration.
My school is currently in the applying phase. In addition to the laptops
that teachers have been given, the school has two desktop PC's that are
utilize by teachers and students alike. Teachers have been integrating
ICT into their various lessons. Using youtube videos have become
habitual for many teachers. Other uses include using projectors ,
showing movies and playing interactive games. Introduction of lessons
with video created with xtranormal and Goanimate is also quite common. Teachers are
very open minded to the integration of the ICT and I am very happy to be
able to share with them the knowledge gained from doing this course
over the years.
The Ict tools are also used for administration, for
eg. teachers now submit their extents via email and the school has now
gone online in the country's system where students now have their
reports printed online. This means that teachers have to submit their
grades and mark their attendance electronically.
Drawbacks would
include not enough ICT tools mainly computers where group work and
individual work can be done on a regular basis. Not withstanding that
fact, students are enjoying the change in the presentation of their
various lessons
