Technology in Schools Nowadays..

I would like to share with you the experience of technology I encountered when I went on my placement to Glyncollen Primary School. I was in the nursery classroom in the morning and the reception classroom in the afternoon, both classrooms had interactive white boards, a laptop and a music player. On the second afternoon that i was in the reception class the children watched the nativity story on the white board, they also answered a few questions about the nativity. It was really enjoyable as all of the children were interacting together. The school hall also had a music player and a projector. Thursday years 4, 5 and 6 had a dress rehearsal and the rest of the school were able to watch. As it was the day of the Christmas dinner, after the children finished their lunch they watched ‘Polar Bear’ express on the huge projector in the hall. I feel that technology has developed so far in schools since I was a pupil.  They now have interactive white boards and the children are able to work as a class to do an activity which i feel is good because it brings the class together.

Wiki

For the past couple of weeks I have been creating my wiki, it has been quite tricky getting used to using a new website to create a page. However our topic was very interesting, it was "What Was Education Like 30 Years Ago?" The curriculum was basically the same children learnt about english, maths, science, welsh, physical education and reliogious education. However they did not have any technology, they used a blackboard and hardly ever used handouts. the classrooms were very colourful and had all the childrens work on the walls which made them feel proud and valued. I am so glad that technology has developed and has been introduced in schools, because I love using word and the internet to do my school and home work!!

Keep Calm and Carry On

I love this saying as i feel that it keeps me from going isane, if ever i am upset, angry or frustrated about something i always think to myself 'Keep Calm and Carry On'. i have loads of products with the quote on it, such as bags, a pillow, posters, a canvas, postcards, a badge, a book about the history of it and i also have plasters, so if i ever fall over and cut myself i can think to myslef 'keep calm and carry on'. The saying came from the second world war in 1939, it was a poster produced my the British Government it was intended to raise morale and brighten peoples spirits. It gave people hope and the strength to carry on. Which is why i feel the need to share this on my blog as it is important to me...

Shark Tale.

In my uni class we had to work in a group and produce a presentation about an internet site on something we found interesting. my group included Christian, Carys and Liam. We decided to focus on the topic of Sharks, the website we found had alot of cool information and ineresting fact on it. However, because i was created so long ago it didnt have very good images or diagrams on it, the website looked ancient!! The website we found was interesting as the copyright had ended in 2006 so this meant that you could take the information and it wouldnt be classed as theft! I feel that our presentation as a group went well.
