Everyday, computers become a more important factor in
today’s society. We are confronted with computers both during working ours
and in our private life. The same applies for communication: Nowadays, we
have much more possibilities to communicate with other people. Mobile
phones, e-mail, SMS messages and chat-boxes are a few examples of the new
possibilities. All these new communication means have their own specific
way of using them, their own (dis)advantages and their own specific group
of users.
The upcoming of ICT technologies has its implications
on school and education. It is not possible to ignore computers anymore.
Education is faced with the challenge to incorporate computers and
communication possibilities in a meaningful way. But this challenge has a
reason: When used in proper ways, ICT can improve education in many way
Children have to learn about computers. But other subjects can be
taught with computers. The use of computers in education can be
more efficient, it can provide better learning results and it can be made
adaptive to the individual learner. But also important is the fact that it
can be fun to learn with computers. Furthermore, skills like
collaboration, critical evaluation, receiving feedback, planning and
organisation can be learned.
Recent past week,the pupils of my class III-F worked on a BBC starship story writing online activity in groups.The pupils enjoyed every part of it and created interesting stories in groups while taking turns.
