So while moving through the learning path I’m finding very difficult to decide on an artefact to present to parents as a justification of why ICT is vital in the classroom.
While working with students in lower primary, I have found more students have greater engagement in the learning when it is being taught in conjunction with ICT’s. I have found a greater number of students are able to engage in high order thinking, explain what they are doing and why, as well as explain to others what they are doing and learning. But how would I justify this to a skeptical parent, who may have had an education where ICT was either never used, or only used for non-educational games.
While I have a few ideas together, I would love to know what everyone is feeling too??
I found this YouTube Clip, which is based on the use of ICT in Norway schools, but it does bring use some good points that can be applied to schools all over the world.

Not sure of your context, but why not ask a few? Know your audience and all that.

There are so many skeptical parents that I’ve spoken to personally in the school yard doing pick ups etc. It really is hard to teach an old dog new tricks – but not impossible!! With the right angle, using ideas that parents can relate to, that they know will help their child to be successful I think we can convince them to atleast consider the possibility that ICTs are the way of the future 🙂
Love this YouTube clip that Jaimi shared, its fantastic!
