ICT+Challenge+1

=ICT Challenge 1 Engaging Students=

The first ICT Challenge was on Engaging Students in the 21st Century using Web 2.0. It was to encourage you to look beyond what you currnetly know about the Internet and look at new developments taking place on the Internet and see how they can be used in the classroom. I was hoping to start discussion and provoke your thinking and see where we could go.

If you have anymore resources or thoughts on Web 2.0 or would like to put a summary on here of what you sub school talks about feel free!!

The following questions were provided for homework 1. Talk to people in two different industries about ICT in their workplace/industry. Make note of any changes that have occurred in the industry, their feelings about ICT and benefits/disadvantages of ICT. 2. What do you think about this generation of students? Do you think that they are that different to students of 10 years ago? 3. How do you use ICT in the classroom? Out of the classroom? How do you feel about ICT? What, if anything, is stopping you from using it more in the classroom?
