Module end??

Well half term is upon us and our ICT module is coming to a close. Have I learnt anything? Yes I've learned that there is more to school ICT than Microsoft Office and power point, there are some fab programs out there and variety is the spice of life!! I hope I have become more patient when trying new programs, Rome wasn't built in a day and if I persevere good things sometimes happen. The pupils in my school are on the whole so relaxed in their approach to ICT and things that make me shake with fear they embrace. My children for example have to make a brochure promoting Swansea(year3) and a brochure promoting Wales ( year 6) using any media but saved to a usb device for homework they are actually excited about homework!!!!. My 11 year old daughter has just created a most impressive multi media slide in school promoting Swansea which contains videos, hyper-links, introduction pop up video, pictures and really impressive effects and transitions. Ict seems to excite children and I feel on the whole my school does an excellent job my only real critism would be that micro sort office is dominant and if i've learned one thing this module it is the benefits of using other programs . In my opinion variety builds knowledge and confidence . So the module may have finished but I for one have developed a love of all things multi media and will continue to push my limits and keep abreast of ICT developments.
