Fall Placement ICT

The five weeks of student teaching I experienced was nothing but educational for me. It was an eye opener with many experiences that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Technology in the classroom and throughout the school at the D.R.C.S.S was relatively low. There were not many chances to use the technology I wanted to as the new technology has not yet reached this school. They did have projectors which I used for my classes as much as I could. Using youtube I would show them what we were doing almost every class whether it be for fitness purposes or to show them the proper technique for an exercise. I would have liked to have had iPads that were disposable to the student body as they would then get an up close and personal experience of what I was trying to explain. We also used heart rate monitors that showed their progress as they went through the school term. It would track their progress in regards to health. This was the only technology they were really exposed to. Overall, technology needs to be connected to this school more often.
