1B_4 Activity 3: Learners' Charter

The collaborative document used in this activity is a very important and effective learning tool. It enabled us to share our ideas in a co-operative way and at the same time afforded us the opportunity to learn from each other's contribution. As  learners we have different rights and expectations. It is my view that one of my rights as a learner is to be taught  using a variety of methods and tools including ICT in the classroom. I am also expecting  the curriculum to drive the use of technology.

2A_5 Activity 4B- Lesson Plan integrating the word Processor

This lesson went according to plans. My role was not one of providing information for the students but that of  facilitating the lesson as students have been exposed to the word processor and the internet from the mobile ITC classes that they do weekly. They were actively and constructively involved in the lesson. They co-operated very well with each other and there were smooth transitions between the activities.The only thing that I would have done differently was to allot more time to this lesson because at times the internet was very slow and as a result the lesson went over the allotted time.

2A_5 Activity 5: Spreadsheets for administrative purposes 'Record Book'

This activity( record book) was a challenge for me. I went through steps 1 through 13 within forty-five minutes,however; when I went to step 14 it almost took me an hour.  It was nevertheless a great activity that would aid administrators in keeping better records at school. Once you can use the formulas correctly, it would come easier. Practice, practice, practice!!!

Activity 3- 2A_5: Word Processor for Lesson Preparation

The word processor can be a very effective  tool in lesson preparation. It can help to enhance the appearance of tests, worksheets and notes. A variety of images and shapes can be inserted into your documents from word art clip art as well as auto shapes. One would also be able to create table and a host of charts to help clarify certain concepts for students. It helps to increase efficiency in lesson preparation.
