Final reflection on the ICT course!

So this is the end!

In this last part of the subject, we have really learnt quite interesting resources to use in our future teaching life. I will start talking about PodOmatic, as I think this is a good way to create audio files in order to teach our students. I believe that if teachers would organise themselves in a school for example, they could record conversations with a teaching purpose that would match their teaching aims, and would be great for students as well as it is an easy tool to use.

About Edmodo, in my opinion it is a really interesting tool to use in education, but I don't think it will be that useful with younger children. I think in this stages we should focus more on the handwriting skill, and besides they are still learning to read properly and with Edmodo they will have to read the instructions if they need to do a quiz or an assignment. So it should be used with older kids so we get the most of it.

And one of the things we have learnt that I believe most of us will use in our future is the Excel spreadsheet. As we can find education nowadays, we have to grade our students, and this is a very quick and nice way to do all the percentages and that stuff. 

There have been other tools like Kahoot we have also learnt in the lessons, that I also might be using in the future, as they are quick to prepare and use, and they will surely motivate our students, and these days that is very valuable!

As a conclusion, I have found this course very interesting, and it has enriched my technology knowledge, which I appreciate as I know I am going to be needing it quite soon. We have learned a great variety of interesting sites that will facilitate our labour as teachers. It has been a pleasure to join this course, and learn all of these!
