Implementation of Information and Communication Technologies in Primary Schoolsirjes
Implementation of modern media and information technology in primary schools has been
increasing. The use of ICT in education process brings better results: teaching is better, clearer and gives the
opportunity to every student to be actively involved. After having applied Microsoft tools in many projects, we
saw the benefits of them in preparation, organization and in the teaching process itself as well as in the fast but
high-quality feedback – students‟ knowledge. The most important conclusions are economy of time and proper
guidance of students in use of ICT and the constant training of teachers for lifelong learning. ICT in classroom
helps students to use the Internet - to find teaching materials, to store them and sort them into their own
documents on their computers, by themselves or with the help of their parents. Nowadays, teachers and students
have changed their roles. Teachers: guide students towards the goal by choosing teaching materials and by
giving the instructions during the working process, they form and develop the teaching materials of the
interactive content, they can use materails from other teachers, if there is a permission from them, there is the
possibilty of the individual approach to every student, they often check briefly the acquisition of the teaching
content through quizzes, presentations and finally, there is the possibilty of extracurricular communication with
students (via e-mail, facebook, twiter, SkyDrive, GeoGebra, Geometric Scatch Pade).
The Role of Technology in the Future of EducationCyndi Masters
The United States’ public education system is failing. National rankings in science and math are at an all time low, and test scores have remained relatively stagnant since the 1970’s. It’s not about who should be blamed. A better question is who or what is going to lead that change. We believe the answer is technology. Come with us and explore the role technology will play in the future of American education.

mouse button.”
Dimitri Kanevsky
IBM T.J. Watson Research Center
4. Nutrition as a Change Agent
“I believe that parents need to make nutrition education a priority in
their home environment. It’s crucial for good health and longevity to
instill in your children sound eating habits from an early age.”
Cat Kora
Food TV Iron Chef
5. Identify the problem
Children in underprivileged households face many challenges, many of
which impact their learning.
1. Technology is expensive & underprivileged children have less opportunity
to use it.
2. Healthy foods are more expensive than unhealthy foods & underprivileged
households consume less of it.
8. Technology & Academic Achievement
• Teachers who had students use computers to solve simulations
observed “positive benefits” on achievement as measured in NAEP’s
mathematics test.
9. • Insufficient nutrient intake during childhood has been linked to physical and
mental health problems as well as emotional and behavioral problems, learning
deficiencies, and lower grades.
• Six- to eleven-year-old children from food-insufficient families had significantly
lower arithmetic scores and were more likely to have repeated a grade. [2]

Nutrition Studies
10. • Coordinated nutrition education programs have improved children’s
eating habits, leading to a decreased reported daily intake of fat, and
an increase in consumption of fruits and vegetables. [3]
• School Breakfast Programs have been shown to improve
academic, behavioral, and emotional functioning, leading to
increased composite math and reading scores. [4]

26. Technology Day
Exercise 1: Find the Computer
Introduction: Discuss what is and is not a computer
to determine the location of computers in everyday
life. This includes a brief history of the computer
and the components necessary to consider
something a computer.
Main Idea: To encourage innovating thinking about
how technology can be used to show students that
the computers and technology surrounding us are
not as complex as they seem.
Action: Students will identify common locations for
computers in everyday scenarios, aided by a
computer slide show.
27. Technology Day
Exercise 2: Basic Computer Components
Introduction: Look inside a computer to determine what
each component does.
Main Idea: Empowering and developing deductive skills
through understanding the working interior of a pc/laptop
and building a foundation for troubleshooting and
repairing basic common failures on their own.
Action: Using a partially deconstructed computer, ask
students to locate as many computer components as
possible and try to deduce their primary function(s.)
Answer the following:
What are the parts of a desktop computer?
What does each part do?
Can you take it out if it breaks and put in a new
one?
28. Agriculture Day
Exercise 1: “The Story of Stuff” by
Annie Leonard
Introduction: Share basic information about
Earth Science and how whole systems operate
to make everything work together on Earth.
Main Idea: Everything that can be recycled
back into the soil can be used to improve
upon and build new soil.
Action: View the short animated Film “The
Story of Stuff” by Annie Leonard on computer
screens or projector.
29. Agriculture Day
Exercise 2: Square Inch Garden
Introduction: Improve student’s knowledge of
the difference between “dirt” and “soil”.
Main Idea: Microorganisms work to utilize
detritus and frass (insect dung) back into living
matter and strengthen soil’s ability to provide
new growth.
Action: Each student will carefully examine a
small area of school garden grounds looking
for any signs of life: color
differentials, smells, movement etc. These will
be catalogued via discussion and written
capture.
