Managing, Learning and Teaching with ICT: Introduction

Hello All:

Just like to take this opportunity to say  “thank you”  for the invitation to this blog.

I am Gloria Joseph, one of the senior Information Technology teachers at the All Saints Secondary school. This is where I utilize ICT and more so encourage my colleagues to use ICT and also help them to see how ICT can enhance learning. 

We have collaborated well through the other modules and am looking forward for continued collaboration in these two modules

As we go through these two last modules lets endeavor to learn all we can so that we can able to pass it on to our learners.  It is all about equipping ourselves so that we can equip our learners, and making learning more interactive and readily adaptable to the learners.

Introduction

Hello,

Thank you very much for your invitation.

My name is Faye David. Literacy is my passion. The utilization of ICT in my dealings with children who have literacy difficulties, has provided enrichment to the learning environment as well enhance the skills of my students.

Collaborating on these two modules would further encourage my implementation of ICT in my field. I endeavour to share the knowledge gained to others so that 'our children' can benefit greatly.

Hello every one,

I am Theoline Croft, the principal of a suburban primary school.  I utilize ICT in my administrative duties and encourage my teachers to do the same.

Our journey together throughout the previous modules has been one of collaboration and I am indeed happy to be continuing with you on these last two modules of the CCTI course.

Let us take advantage of the new learning that can be derived from the modules and transfer these to benefit our schools.

HELLO MY FRIENDS

Hello One and All: 

Thanks you all to the invitation to this blog.

I am Vernon Parillon and have been teaching IT for approximately eight years. Information Technology has been a discipline that I have a strong desire to learn and teach. 

At presence I have been assigned to the NTTC School where I am responsible for just about 150 students. My learners range between the ages of 12 – 16 which includes both boys and girls. Due to the two years span (Form 1 and 2) learners are entitled too, my work remains to be very tedious. In completing the two years course, learners are to develop computer skills and knowledge to prepare them for higher learning or to become competent in the art if they so choose a working career.

I operate within an IT Lab with just about 25 interconnected computers, an unreliable Internet service, printer and a recently bought projector.  

Hi Everyone

I am Claudette J. Patricia Samuel a Business Education Facilitator attached to the Ottos Comprehensive School.

My assigned classes range from third to fifth form and my mission is to adequately prepare my students to function in the world of business.

In adapting the use of technology to what is needed for students to adequately compete in this environment, I beleive that as educators, we need to first be equipped in order to equip them - ultimately with the use of the computer and all related technologies. These should make learning more interactive and readily adaptable to the students

Introduction

Hello,

I am Terry-Ann Marsh-Roberts a young energetic Research Methods, Psychology and Educational Technology Lecturer at the Teacher Education Department, of the Antigua State College, Antigua.

The Primary Education Courses that I facilitate are for pre-service and in-service teachers. As a result, this mixture of adult learners motivates me to want to do my very best in practicing all the necessary pedagogical skills within the learning environment that is created for them.

Therefore, we are currently adopting and adapting the use of technology in the teaching learning process, with each person using their personal 'PC'. In addition, as a class we use the projectors and whiteboards that are setup in the classrooms.
