My School ICT phase Activity 1A Module 10

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
