I have now finished Module 1 and have submitted assignment 1. I am feeling pretty happy with my assignment and what I have learnt over the last few weeks. There has of course been SO much information to take in. I hope that I am becoming more open and understanding of how to use ICT […]

While I was reading other EDC3100 students’ blogs for my previous blog post I came across Dayna’s bouncy ball post. Bouncy Balls is a visual way to monitor noise levels. I believe a noisy classroom is a good learning classroom but we all know sometimes kids can get a little bit TOO noisy. By having this […]

EDC3100 asked us to create a concept map about ‘Why use ICT and Pedagogy’ At first I thought I was stuck. I didn’t know what to include or what to write. I talked it over with a friend today and felt a little better about it. Once I got home I looked at the forum […]

I was working with a student at school the other day when the teacher mentioned decimals. He looked at me with wide eyes and I knew he didn’t know what she was talking about. The next day I had the chance to work with this student again but I hadn’t prepared anything. I tried to […]
