Why are children so crazy when it comes to computers?! There seems to be some sort of radar between the children and the computers, they send out some sort of beam that makes them act CRAZY! Having a computer suite all to ourselves is brilliant, and means that we have access at any time on any day. Due to the large class it can sometimes be preferable to have half in the computer room, practising maths skills or typing skills etc, whilst having a more intimate teaching lesson with the other half. Today however was “CRAZY”! The children couldn’t wait to get on the computers, but some, when they did failed to stay on task. The Nickelodeon website is proving to be too much of a temptation, the ranger remote control is not entirely up and running yet and so stopping them is impossible. The good quality wheelie chairs provide them with much entertainment….daily, and even though most do not have access to computers at home they lack the appreciation of the expensive equipment that they have regular use of.
The school has a range of quality games available on all topics that the teacher allows the children to play on. But it just doesn’t seem enough. At this time it seems computers seem to have the same effect as several hundred E-numbers!
