Educating the Dragon

I don’t know whether it is a maturation stage or whether the use of technology in the classroom by the teacher has a higher profile but the class I was with the other day immediately went to the internet to research recycling, went to publisher to create titles and borders.

It was good to get the feedback that the students really appreciated and engaged with my lessons as the whole day I have activities and tasks running through the IWB all day long.

Another observation that I made was the fact that the students engaged with a big book. We created a story journey on the IWB, including graphics and audio. Technology really engages the students, particularly the boys, in a way that technology free teaching does not. Perhaps that’s more me and the technology. With the tech, maybe I’m boring?
