Does using ICT improve children’s enquiry skills?
Impact on Teaching and Learning
Teachers who used ICT to support children’s learning commented that:
| “Using Intel Movie Makers to record traffic flow enabled the children back in school to sit down and accurately construct their graphs by playing and pausing the video every few seconds.” “The children wrote some wonderful poems about Bodsham Village after listening to the thoughts and feelings they had recorded (on MP3 Players) the previous day.” “To find out where to situate our pond we used SKYPE to let the children interview a Governor from another school who had been responsible planning where to situate their school pond.” “To learn about what it is like to live in a village we used SKYPE to audio conference and interview children from Bodsham School.” “Using the LogIT explorers enabled the children to record noise pollution at different points outside the school and quickly transfer their results on to an Excel Spreadsheet to compare.” “We used the digital cameras to take pictures of the homes around our school today and compared these to the images of the town found on the “Heres History Kent” website.” “To create our video about the Little Stour we used Intel Movie cameras to record features at different points along the river north of our school.” |
