I'm 14 I would probably spend at least 5
hours a night on the computer I love
Facebook chatting I take pictures and
post them to friends it's pretty fun
I've got like 500 friends I play
Minecraft World of Warcraft I used to
play RuneScape you can spend hours doing
stuff in games I spend most my weekend
plane sometimes after school when I'm
allowed we're looking to hire employees
that understand the digital world we
deal a lot with marketing and
communication and we're looking to bring
in skills that can enhance our
performance on the global stage one of
my biggest struggles in the classroom is
keeping my students focused on what's
happening in class and not on their
mobile phone or laptop I needed to do an
assignment but I couldn't find the right
information the teachers gave us some
handouts but I left them in my locker
I'll probably get a detention from not
being organized I'm part of a Global
Network which looks at Energy Efficiency
I'm the only member from Australia so
all our meetings are online I have to be
up at 2:00 a.m. sometimes to be part of
web meeting that's based in the United
States my teacher qu me on Skype in
class I lost my laptop for the day it
was pretty annoying cuz all my work was
on there then I had to start writing it
out from the beginning you have to be
looking at what is on their screens all
the time I have a lot of trouble
trusting students with computers you
just don't know what they could be doing
manufacturing has become increasingly
digital over the last decade jobs that
used to require up to 12 workers can now
be automated using Machinery what we're
really looking for now is workers who
have the digital skills to enhance our
products at a conceptual
[Music]
level with the Advent of Technology
digital devices are having an increasing
effect on the way we
communicate the way we manage
ourselves the way we are
entertained the way we
produce the way we learn and now our
teaching
pedagogies the digital age has
accelerated the flow of
information with the invention and
enhancement of new technologies we've
also seen a rise in the methods by which
can be accessed this year we've
integrated laptops into our school every
student from year 9 and above has a
personal computer device I have students
email me work it makes it easier for me
to look over their dresss and send back
feedback without having to chase them my
emails back up to the digital server so
I can access them in my office at home
or in the classroom internet access is
the only thing I really need I can start
an assignment at school and leave all of
my research and applications open on the
screen when I get home it's all there
waiting for me organization is really
improved there are so many tools that
students can access students can find
answers quick enough most of the time
but they don't retain the information as
well it's been hard to adjust the way
I've always taught certain things I
still think writing down and repeating
processes is the most important way to
learn we did an assignment on Hinduism
this term the teacher gave us the
information on a paper handout he didn't
want us looking at Wikipedia we're
seeing more in and pasting in our
students work more Reliance on the same
resources they're taking the fastest
route to information without really
considering some of the great options
out there one of the greatest struggles
for teachers is adapting content and
subject matter to suit the application
of
Technology there are a range of tools
available but deciding which are most
appropriate to enhance teaching and
learning and which distract from content
can be a fine line
we looked at a website today that let
you stream together all these facts
about history and make your own movie my
friends put everything in the wrong
order it's pretty funny sometimes I find
a website or resource that looks fun and
engaging I like to give my students time
to play with it even if they don't
really learn anything I think the skills
are still there we've been learning
about the Great Depression so our
teacher sent us to this website that had
pictures and videos of Shing during the
time there are all these kids running
around Barefoot in the streets look
pretty pretty awful part of effective
ICT use is having the confidence and
competence to implement new technologies
into the
classroom I receive weekly information
about new resources and software and I
usually spend my Monday afternoon
testing a
few sometimes I see something that I
think would be useful but I reckon I
delete more than about half of them I
tend to push Technologies onto students
that I use myself that way I can model
it and often the students end up using
more features and giving me tips it's
cool when you get to use something that
other people are aware of I use the same
mobile organizer as my teacher it's
really good I can see why she likes it
our teacher always shown us new things
on the internet you signed up to this
site to let you save your bookmarks
online students need to see effective
ICT use in action in order to understand
the difference between efficiency and
distraction the teacher plays a vital
role in modeling this Behavior I have to
make sure my phone is off or on silent
if I bring it into class I find that
students will be more distracted by
their devices if I have mining class
well my students often ask me for a good
website or app to help them with an
assignment and I'm not really good on
computers so I usually just say to
Google it if you don't know how to find
information it can be really hard to get
your work done I've spent ages on
websites that have turned out to be
totally wrong I used some information
once that my teacher said wasn't true we
all use this program in class that lets
you see different examp examples of
words in use the teacher uses it
sometimes with the class it's really
handy when you're not sure what a word
means different tools produce different
skills and this is a distinction that
both teachers and students need to make
if they are to successfully integrate
ICT into their
culture it's about matching the outcome
of what you want your students to learn
produce or organize with the technology
that you choose if I want my students to
learn a piece of information I'll use
one type of tool if I want them to
present what they know in a creative way
I'll use another I don't think there is
one form of technology which covers all
the skills that students need to learn
it's really good when you can use a
website or program for one assignment
but then you can use it again for
something different even a different
subject another vital element of
fulfilling the role of ICT in schools is
incorporating upto-date resources which
relate to student
interests the teacher set up a chat room
for our class which we can use in
lessons or for homework I like typing my
comments better than speaking in class
it means I can look at what I've written
and edit it students enjoy communicating
using technology and it's funny that we
don't utilize this more I've been trying
some digital discussions with my
students and it's interesting to see the
changing Dynamic I think the key is
making it safe but still providing some
freedom I have my students upload
PowerPoint presentations online and have
their peers post comments on their work
it's a great way to get students
involved in the class community and it's
accessible to those who wouldn't
normally speak in the classroom being
able to post comments to other students
and teachers when I'm doing homework
makes it feel like I'm still in the
class it's really handy when I get stuck
sometimes I just post unfinished and
it's really cool to see teachers or
other students commenting or hitting
like it is clear that the role of ICT in
education is still in the process of
finding its feet but we can see that the
benefits it has on the Val of teaching
and learning can be exceptional if
utilize correctly the key to progress is
a willingness to embrace the digital age
and take the time to invest in the
enhancement of learning while the
process may be filled with trials and
conflicts Bridging the Gap between the
interests of our students and their
future needs to be the focus of schools
