Worried about your ICT skills as you embark on becoming a teacher? I have found a website that is free and helps primary school teachers develop their use of ICT.
You can register for a weekly magazine called Sharing Good Practice
It looks like a really good site with surveys e.g. on children’s use of mobile phones – a topic on one of the discussion boards recently. Every week they look into four new lessons and includes activities e.g. word searches.
The site is called Ictopus, visit today and improve your ICT confidence!
If you are worried about how ICT and Ofsted are linked the you can visit an Educational and Communications Technology Agency (Becta) and look at the self review framework, and see how far you need to go to include ICT into your lessons in order to impress on that first important Ofstead meeting!
ICT is something that worries a lot of potential and current teachers in primary school, especially with those children that seem to have more knowledge than you, but at the same time you want to help encourage those that don’t have the same confidence or access to computers as others. Lets work together to provide a confident front when it comes to ICT.
