Integrating ict into classroom

Integrating ICT into
the Classroom
to enhance engagement and learning.

Wednesday, 4 August 2010

Researching the rocky
shore, using the internet.


Here the students are using “Inspiration” to
brainstorm ideas for their recounts about
“Going to the Beach”.


Their faces say it all.


Using the mimio for follow-up
literacy and numeracy activities.


Using the classroom computers to access
literacy and numeracy websites.


Has all this technology had
a positive impact on
student achievement?


The results so far...
• The students in the Kea and Kokako Reading
groups were reading well below expectation
and accordingly formed my target group for
Literacy.

• Four students in Kea reading group:

• They started the year reading at Level 9 - three
out of the four students are currently reading
at Level 17, a movement of eight levels in less
than two terms. Not bad eh? :-)


• The three students in Kokako Reading
group started the year on Level 14. Two
are currently reading at Level 21 while
the third is reading at Level 22. A
movement of seven and eight levels
respectively, in less than two terms.


What has made the difference?

• Using the students’ running
records and reading behaviours
when reading with me, I identiﬁed
their speciﬁc learning needs.
• From there I devised and sourced
various computer activities to
address these needs.


• Although the activities are similar
to the “pen and paper” activities of
years gone by, the presentation is
far more appealing and interactive,
thus ensuring a much higher level
of engagement, which in turn has
resulted in higher achievement
levels.
