Companies like Telkom

Investing companies

More and more companies are trying to invest in the people of the future, every company takes a different strategy. More and more companies are investing in technology for the Educational Sector.

Telkom states that there are many advantages to having technology inside the classroom, like; "•An increase in motivation, Increased active participation and creativity, Improved knowledge and skills, Increased collaboration, and Increased responsibility and self-esteem"

They state that there are also advantages for the teaches, like; "Easier record keeping and access, Fewer records lost due to misfiling, Lower administrative costs and less paper wastage, Easier communication between staff, and Curbing exam paper scams", of course, this will only be applicable if the staff know what they are doing. 

This is the main problem that I have, people don't know what they are doing!

People want everything but are not willing to work to understand how they should use it.

More and more companies invest in technology, buy how many of them invest in the training for the effective use of the technology?

The Big Switch On

So Gauteng initiated 'The Big Switch On' in January 2015. After 2 years not much have changed, They said their devices will be 'unstealable' yet there are still 20% missing. They said it will be easier yet most of the teachers don't know how to use it.

I think they should look before they leap!!!

Projectors

I  did not give class, but I saw that most of the Natural science labs have protectors.

I saw that one of the teacher have a smartboard installed but it does not look like it is bring used as one, which is very sad.

New blog, new content

So I actually wanted to use edublog.org for my ICT blogging, but I am not up to speed with all its functions. And I already know all the functions of Blogger.com so here we are.

So I actually landed yesterday, I was at my parents in Hluhluwe, KZN. It was my first Domestic flight.

So back to ICT, I am not sure what technology is available for me to use at Harties, e.g. Projector. 

I will be working with the Natural Science learners for my first Teaching Prac, and since I practiced all my Micro-lessons with PowerPoint Slides I wold like to keep working with PP.

Not really sure what to expect when going to the school.
