Dyslexia

while busy doing an assignment for one of my modules, I realised that there is so much that we as educators can do to assist our learners.

I learnt that a child with dyslexia may learn easier when technology is brought into the classroom.

I read something interesting about dyslexia on the link below

so yes technology can help a dyslexic learner learn better.

 

what is the correct age to introduce technology to children

What is the correct age to introduce technology to children ?
this is a question that many people ask …
do we even have control as parents over this?

this is a link to a great article on the subject…

What is your take on the subject?

last day at CBC

so for my second teaching practice I went to a private, state of the art , elite school.
this school relies heavily on the use of technology.
the school has an active website with weekly updates, an interactive learning management system that includes all role players, an SMS system that informs parents of all events and the SMART system as an administrative tool.

All classrooms have projectors and desktops, speakers and intercoms.

The school has an open WI-FI system that all role players can use…

This is a place where a new age teacher will totally fit in.
When will our state owned schools reach his level of technology though?

the use of videos in the classroom

today I was able to take my learners to Sierria Leone.
I played them a video of the mudslides in Sierra Leone.
Mudslides are a geographical phenomena that is rare in our country.
The use of technology has once again given the learners a lesson that they will never forget.
If  I cant take the class to the mudslide, ill bring the mudslide to the class…

this is the link to the video
