Before christmas I went on placement to a local primary school for a week. Whilst there I witnessed many lessons being linked with ICT, in the classroom and also in the ICT suite that they had there. In the classroom the teacher used the interactive whiteboard and over-head projecter to demonstrate and show examples of what the class was going to do. The pupils were also able to come up to the board to interactively answer questions.
Whilst there I also helped in a year 3 and 4 ICT lesson, the pupils were making posters advertising their christmas concert using Microsoft Publisher. I was suprised at how much the children knew how to do on their own which shows how much technology with children has changed since I was their age.
In a year 6 class that I was also in for an hour the pupils had made an animated movie with a recorded voice over from themselfs, again I was suprised at their ICT skills doing this so well.
