After i'd updated my blog last night i thought i'd have a little peek at everyone elses and really wish i hadn't. To see that some people have been able to make ICT resources actually in school time and just how much others use ICT in their classes as put me into major panic. I'm with the Nursery children in the morning and year 5/6 support in the afternoon. In Nursery, apart from the Computer and IWB there is very little ICT used and as i've mentioned previously they are not the most reliable pieces of equipment. Yet again Baglan spent all morning trying to fix the IWB remotely which was hindered by lots of little hands removing the pens and trying to draw on the board. Telling them several times a day not to remove the pens or draw on it unless Tizzy is on is not having any impact. The positive side is that we have found out that a lady in Baglan gives training on the Smart Board so we're hoping it's free and she can come to see us one afternoon after work. Fingers crossed. In the afternoon i do withdrawn literacy support with the Juniors but don't have access to a Computer or IWB. Everything is paper based or on the small whiteboards. I have spoken to the Nursey teacher and asked her if she does plan any ICT activities if i can do it with the children and she has said yes so fingers crossed it will be soon.
I did manage to post a comment on someone elses Blog last night so that was something knew learnt and after reading about Mandy's Amazon kindle and not having a clue what she was talking about i saw it advertised twice on tv! So now i'm completely up on the latest technology! Well not quite, but at least i know what it is now and what it does.
I also printed off all the fab instructions for Textease so am going to have a bash at that this weekend. Might make me feel a bit better about things. TTFN
