ICT ROLE IN
ASSESSMENT
-General observation
regarding who was at
ease working on tablets
and who had difficulty
First showed students how to turn on and off the tablets
properly, where to locate the volume, and let them practice
Next, showed students were the app icon was located to find
istorybooks, and touchy books
Discussed rules for how to use the tablets respectfully, and
since 2 students were sharing a tablet, we discussed taking
turns when choosing books
Finally, browsed through the selection of books with
students, and then let them choose their own book to
read/listen to/watch with a classmate
After using the tablets for reading, students were asked they type of
books they would like to read on the tablets, so that more books
could be purchased for future use.
PRIMARY DATA THAT WAS
CREATED + LICENSED + SHARED
-none
REFLECTIONS ON ICT AS A FUTURE LEARNING TOOL
-Students enjoy reading books on the tablets. I will continue to use
tablets during reading time as a part of my Daily 5/Café set up for
Language Arts. It will be one of the 3 options at reading time, read to
self, read with a friend, listen to reading (listen and watch on tablets).
- The interactive elements of Touchy Books, was very appealing to
students.
- Future plans: Request that parents send in a pair of ear buds for
each student so there is not conflicting noise from each tablet during
reading time. Also, purchase splitters for the ear buds so that two
students can share a tablet and still have their own ear buds.
