Week 1 ICT

Week 1 of ICT opened my eyes to many new concepts regarding technology. Technology is becoming more and more crucial in our schools as time goes on, and in reality, technology is the future. After looking at our overview of the term, I am excited to dive into technology as I am not as savvy as others. Creating websites, making my own personal portfolio, having a blog, etc. is exciting as I lack experiences with these things. This week, the topic that grabbed the most interest for myself was Wordle. Wordle is a simple, yet effective way of broadcasting your own personal views, hobbies, and interests. While tweaking my own Wordle, I thought of a few ways that this program could be effective in a school setting. When talking about subjects such as history as an example, each student could use the program and expand on each word. Another effective way would be to use this program at the beginning of the school year. Everyone could make a Wordle splash about themselves, and the students could see who had things in common. I am looking forward to what we will be learning this coming week.
