INTRODUCTION
The student teaching experience is an opportunity for both the cooperating teacher and the student

teacher to reach new heights of professional knowledge and practical wisdom. By acknowledging

the potential areas of conflict, and establishing professional boundaries and systems for

communication, both the new and veteran educators will grow from the experience and become

better able to meet the needs of their students.

One of the most exciting aspects of mentoring a student teacher is the opportunity to learn new

ideas from them. Though sharing materials, resources, and teaching methods is part of the

mentoring process, cooperating teachers must also allow student teachers to try their own ideas to

see what works and what doesn’t. Many cooperating teachers find new resources through their

student teachers and their own teaching becomes revitalized.

As student teachers try new methods, mistakes are inevitable. It is necessary to be build time in

after questionable lessons to discuss what worked, what didn’t, and why. Encourage the student

teacher to develop ways to authentically assess student learning, and to re-teach concepts when

necessary.

NOVALICHES HIGH SCHOOL

 HISTORY

Novaliches High School started as an annex of Quezon City High School in the school year 1960-
1961 with 88 students, 5 teacher-pioneers and a head teacher to blaze the trail.

It reached its independent status in 1964 under Mrs. Isabel C. Tinga, who was initially Head
Teacher-in-charge of the school (later promoted as its principal in the school year 1971-1972).

In the school year 1966-1967, the Reservoir, Novaliches High School’s official Publication
released its maiden issue. It was also during this year when Bienvenido E. Laguesma, once the
Secretary of Labor during the Estrada Administration graduated as valedictorian and Most
Outstanding Leader of the year.

In 1969, the school was practically leveled to the ground by the calamitous visit of typhoon
“Yoling”. But, like the phoenix that emerged young and invigorated when it rises from its ashes,
Novaliches High School rose triumphantly from its ruins through the concerted effort of the city
officials, the school administrators and civic-minded citizens, to once more meet the challenges of
time with fervor and determination.

It produced a new generation of student leaders in 1971 with Mr. Ricardo S. Reyes as the
principal – an event that would later mark the beginning of what would later be a glorious decade
in the history of the school.

In the following years, beginning 1972-1973, with President Ferdinand E. Marcos declaring
Martial Law in the country, these “New Youth of City Schools continued to emerged”.

Under the stewardship of Mr. Florencio B. Dumlao (October 1972-August 1982) ovaliches High
School became a model community school with the following outstanding achievements:

●National Winner – National Green Revolution Contest

●Winner – Regional Green Revolution Contest

●Division Winner – Model School

●District Winner – Model School

These years, under the leadership of the late Mr. Florencio B. Dumlao were considered the
“Golden Years” of Novaliches High School in the areas of academics, discipline, leadership,
cleanliness and beautification, and this developed among the students a positive brand of
activism.
With the influx of enrollees, the school was forced to open an annex at Lagro in 1974. Lagro High
School headed by Mr. Pilar, was the first of Novaliches High School’s annexes. The second
followed in 1980 Sta. Lucia High School, and then led by Mr. Eliseo Cabangon as its head
teacher-in-charge.

In the year 1983-1984 Novaliches High School boasted a total of 4,239 students and 132 teachers
under the leadership of Ms. Flor Sandoval as Secondary School Department Head and in-charge
of the school.

Novaliches High School continued to consistently produce winners in the different districts,
divisions, regional and national level contests and was also the recipient of different awards in the
“Tulungan sa Kalikasan”. These scores of awards distinctions and honors were added to the
gallery of achievement of Novaliches High School student and alumni.

The years 1986-1994 were replete with social awakenings, political turmoil, and economic
setbacks. In Novaliches High School, Mrs. Consuelo Sison, Mr. Ernesto Anunciacion, Mr.
Alfredo L. Principe, Mrs. Corazon G. Magbaleta, Dr. Marcial Domingo, Dr. Thelma Cruz, Mrs.
Angela Ferrer and Mrs. Norma Mapanao, as principals, carved a name in the hearts and minds of
the Novaliches High School graduates.

Those years were highlighted by the “Alay Linis” campaign where students were seen cleaning
not just the school premises but also the community grounds. It also marked the inauguration of
the SEDP building in 1992, which housed the science classes, as well as the blessing of the NHS
Covered Court, all through the initiative of Mr. Alfredo L. Principe.

In the later part of 1995 Dr. Gil T. Magbanua, a progressive and revolutionary principal came to
Novaliches High School. It was through his effort that the Mathay Hall was erected the early part
of 1995 with Mayor Ismael Mathay Jr. as the guest of honor.

Under Dr. Magbanua’s stewardship, for the benefit of NHS students, a massive rehabilitation of
the school buildings and other principal facilities came into place. Students’ needs and staff
development were concerns that were given top priority.

And so, beset by the perennial problem of congested classroom, Novaliches High School open its
third and fourth annexes - the San Bartolome in 1991 led by Mrs. Rosario Estrada and the Doña
Rosario Annex under Mrs. Victoria Mangosong, which was inaugurated on July 18, 2003 with
Mayor Sonny “SB” Belmonte as the guest of honor.

When Mrs. Sheridan Evangelista took over the reign as the principal in 2003, the school
renovations continued and the students were pushed to further broaden their horizons and strive
for excellence as they attended leadership trainings and competed in contests from the district to
the national level.
With Mrs. Evangelista supervising the main campus and Mrs. Lucia Herrera as the Officer-in-
Charge of the Doña Rosario Annex, Novaliches High School’s classrooms teemed with learners
and some of the teachers were given extra loads to assure that no student is neglected.

In April 2006, a vibrant, ICT-focused Principal in the person of Dr. Maria Noemi M. Moncada,
Ed.,D,LIB, formerly of E. Rodriguez Jr. High School, assumed leadership of Novaliches High
School. With the distinction of being an Outstanding Secondary School Principal since 2005, Dr.
Moncada’s vision is to turn Novaliches High School into one of the Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) Model Schools in Quezon City and Asia Pacific Region.

Through the years, Novaliches High School, as a fountain of knowledge, has endeavored to
encourage creativity, freedom of action and innovation among its faculty and students. It has
produced graduates who have consistently qualified for entry into prestigious universities like the
University of the Philippines, De La Salle University, Ateneo De Manila, University of Sto.
Tomas, the Philippine Normal University and the like.

Indeed, after more than 40 years of existence, Novaliches High School stands proud of its
greatness and of its successes amidst obscurity and innumerable setbacks. It stands as a symbol of
an invulnerable educational institution that will continue to pave the way for the present
generation and for the generations to come –- a refuge from ignorance, poverty and bigotry.

Cooperating Teachers Can Teach and Learn From
Education Internships
Jun 10, 2009 Barbara Abromitis
The effective mentoring of student teachers should include establishing strong communication,

building professional collegiality, and encouraging classroom creativity.

Establish Effective Communication

The key to any working relationship is communication. As a mentor, the cooperating teacher must

establish clear systems of communication at the start of the experience, and encourage the student

teacher to gradually assume more responsibility for leading these conversations. Mentors should

also communicate regularly with the university supervisor to share concerns, or areas of progress,

as this will prevent small issues from becoming big problems that could affect student learning.

Areas that should be discussed before the experience begins include classroom expectations (what

has to be done certain ways and what can be changed to suit the student teacher’s style);

frequency and type of feedback and evaluation (both informal and formal feedback should be

given on a regular basis, regardless and in addition to the formal system used by the university);

and ways in which the student teacher should present the experience to parents.

Build Professional Collegiality

Preservice teachers bring some experience to the classroom, and a great deal of learning and

background knowledge. It is the responsibility of the cooperating teacher to structure the student

teaching experience in a way that treats the teaching candidate as a fellow professional, while

ensuring the integrity of student learning.

Establishing the authority of the student teacher with pupils is essential. Student teachers should

begin immediately taking over teaching responsibilities, gradually but quickly building to

teaching the whole day. Encourage students to go directly to the student teacher with questions,
and intervene with decisions only in cases where safety or learning are at risk. Include the student

teacher in playground or other duties, faculty meetings, professional development, and parent-

teacher conferences.

Encourage Classroom Creativity

One of the most exciting aspects of mentoring a student teacher is the opportunity to learn new

ideas from them. Though sharing materials, resources, and teaching methods is part of the

mentoring process, cooperating teachers must also allow student teachers to try their own ideas to

see what works and what doesn’t. Many cooperating teachers find new resources through their

student teachers and their own teaching becomes revitalized.

As student teachers try new methods, mistakes are inevitable. But if safety and learning are not

compromised, no harm will be done and the student teacher will come away from the experience

that much wiser. Be sure to build time in after questionable lessons to discuss what worked, what

didn’t, and why. Encourage the student teacher to develop ways to authentically assess student

learning, and to reteach concepts when necessary.

The student teaching experience is an opportunity for both the cooperating teacher and the student

teacher to reach new heights of professional knowledge and practical wisdom. By acknowledging

the potential areas of conflict, and establishing professional boundaries and systems for

communication, both the new and veteran educators will grow from the experience and become

better able to meet the needs of their students.

Substitute Teaching
From KDP Novice Notes

Substitute teaching, the one-dreaded, fallback start to a teaching career is now a “foot in the door”

in many districts and even a longtime choice for some educators. For teacher education students,

substitute teaching offers pay-in-the-pocket learning experiences! It’s all in how you look at it.

If you decide to view substituting as additional preparation for your teaching career, then strive to

be as professional in this temporary position as you would in a permanent placement. You can be

the ultimate sub who administrators hire permanently.

Professional Practices

Inspire confidence and assure students and administrators with your professional attitude and

practices. Show that you can be a role model.

• Arrive on time or early.

• Dress professionally – like a teacher, not a college student.

• Bring supplies that may not be readily available – tape, scissors, and extra pencils, as well

as backup lessons.

• Follow the teacher’s plans exactly. Teachers may complain to administrators when their

plans are ignored.

• Conversely, they also let the principal know when substitutes do an excellent job.
 • Familiarize yourself with educational jargon such as IEP, ELL, and intervention specialist,

to communicate professionally with colleagues.

• Teach with a keen awareness of students. Implement lesson plans intelligently and

perceptively. Watch each student, anticipate responses, and motivate students to do their

work.

• Act like a pro. Stand up straight with your hands behind your back or at your side, not

crossed in front of you. Make eye contact, and model each behavior you expect of

students.

• Leave a note for the teacher summarizing the day and include your contact information.

Personal Conduct

On and off the job, conduct counts! It reflects your maturity and professionalism.

• Converse in a friendly, professional – but not too personal- manner with students,

particularly older ones.

• Acknowledge politely, but change the subject with students comment on you personally –

about your hair, clothes, or car.

• Socialize sparingly at football games, the store, or the pizza parlor. Students can lose

respect for you as a teacher if you act too casually; then discipline suffers.

Groundwork
Substitute teaching can build classroom skills and help establish your professionalism with

students and school staff members.

• Prepare for activity in the classroom rather than supervision. Maintain a flow of activity

for students from the moment they arrive. Follow routines to take attendance, group

students, and distribute materials, for a smooth-running classroom. Avoid time fillers such

as copying items from the board or completing worksheets. They are raw opportunities for

student misconduct.

• Be the guest teacher. By your actions, signal to students that you are more than a “real”

teacher fill-in. Move about the room, keep on task, complete projects, and direct avid

discussions.

• Ask questions about the school. A substitute demonstrating detailed knowledge about

school workings or a willingness to be a team player will be remembered.

• Network. A successful day should include a good conversation with a key player in the

department you seek to enter.

• Expect success and be ready to start. One day you’ll get a call to teach – and it won’t be

for just one day

So far, students, teachers, parents like school's new learning
approach
by Georgann Yara - Nov. 10, 2010 10:58 AM
Special for The Republic
The name of her school was not the most noticeable change when Fees College Preparatory

Middle School student Mercedes Zamora, 12, started the school year.

The honors student immediately recognized a tougher course load and higher expectations for all

students, regardless of their grade-point average. It showed teachers and students were serious

about living up to the new moniker.

"There is a big difference. I work a lot harder. It's a great challenge. When I'm not challenged, it's

not as fun," said the seventh-grader, who aspires to be a medical examiner.

Pledging a more rigorous curriculum aimed specifically at preparing students for college, Fees

started the school year with honors-level courses for all grades in core subjects and a method of

teaching that requires students to problem-solve at a higher level.

Students must also complete every assignment, so the days when a paper or lab write-up that was

not turned in and was skipped and given a zero, no longer exist. Mercedes said she noticed that

students who had skipped assignments last year are getting better grades under the new format.

"When you say Fees Middle School, it sounds like an ordinary school. But when you say Fees

College Preparatory, everyone knows your school is doing something different to get kids to go to

college," Mercedes said.

Seventh-grader Michelle Sebastian, 12, said teachers are stricter this year.

"It's going to get us more ready for college because they're teaching us to work harder," she said.
One significant change relies on students solving problems and doing projects using their critical

thinking skills instead of teachers pointing out wrong answers or explaining their mistakes right

away.

For example, math teacher Mike Blakely gives his students a task but does not give them step-by-

step instructions on how to come up with the answer.

"I'm trying to pull from them what they know. It makes them take what they know to figure it

out," Blakely said.

Initially, he said the transition was difficult on both sides. But a few months into the school year,

teachers and students know what to expect from each other.

"If you give students high expectations, the results are going to be good," Blakely said.

Assistant Principal Martha Jacobo-Smith said students are responding positively, knowing they

are being held accountable for their work. A grading system composed of nothing lower than a C

also contributes to this attitude. Any grade below a C is categorized as incomplete and the work

must be redone.

"Students are behaving completely differently. They know what's expected of them," she said.

Social studies teacher Kate Helm said letting students make mistakes and struggle for a bit took

getting used to.

"It was really difficult to watch them. It's hard because it's ingrained in you as a teacher that you

must help them," she said.

Note-taking, keeping organized binders that are regularly checked and inquiry-based learning are

among the skills stressed in Fees' classrooms that are needed for long-term academic success,

Helm said.

But honors students are not the only ones expected to benefit from the curriculum. Intervention

periods are provided for students who need to complete assignments or extra help. The new

format is also aimed at average and non-excelling students regardless of their demographic or

financial status, Helm said.

"We've changed the views and expectations of students. I think when you have low expectations,

those can be barriers," she said. "Everyone can go to college."

Parent Kristin Shaeffer has noticed the change in her son, who looked up colleges on the Internet

for an assignment and now wants to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology based on

its engineering program.

"He kept calling me to the computer (saying), 'Look, they have an orchestra program. Look,

they've won these awards,' " Shaeffer said. "He takes pride in this new focus."

Shaeffer has noticed the increased rigor this year over last year and also her son's heightened

interest in what he's learning. She also approved of the new teaching strategy.

"My son has grown by making mistakes and has learned a lot of organizational skills and

accountability," she said.

Unlike other college prep schools that are designed to serve only high achievers, Shaeffer said

Fees does not let any student fall through the cracks or feel inadequate if they cannot keep up.
"Any child, no matter what their academic level, is going to take away very long-term benefits,"

she said. "Average students will feel empowered that they will be successful in college."

Strategizing: Teaching Approaches

By admin on Apr 15, 2009

To be an effective teacher, you would need to use different methods and strategies. Teaching

strategies, of course would depend on how receptive your students are, topic and of course

whatever is appropriate to the subject or course.

Here are some teaching strategies that you could use:

• Lecture

This is among the leading teaching method or strategies, if you think about it, there are about 80

percent of educational institutions who would use this kind of method. Although, there are new

strategies can be used as medium of instruction, lecture method is still one of the most important

ways to teach.

There are pros and cons for using lecture as your mode of instruction. It is advantageous since it

allows you to convey as much information and knowledge as possible to a big number of

students. But with this kind of setup, student participation could be weak and students may have

issues with the retention of the what they have learned.

If you plan to use lecture as method of instruction, then it would be important to prepare an

outline and make the lecture concise. You would also have to pay attention to the participants, so

that you can get their feedback and points of clarification. You do not have to perform magic
tricks to catch your participants attention, but would have to be excited and at the same time,

deliver the topic well.

• Cooperative Learning

Another great teaching method that would give you benefits would be cooperative learning. It can

also be called Collaborative Learning. Students are divided into groups and they are given tasks

that they should accomplish as a group. With this kind of instruction, it is important that the

facilitator or the teacher would monitor the groups to ensure that everyone is participating.

To get rid of this obstacle, teachers could give each member of the group a specific task that

would be based on their ability levels. The groups do not have to be permanent. The teacher just

needs to have adequate plans to accommodate all the groups and its members.

• Inquiry-based learning

This teaching method is slowly becoming popular in classrooms. In this method students would

be able to learn by practicing problem solving and critical thinking. This method would entail

planning, time, energy and patience. But the results are said to be very effective.

Students are responsible for learning concepts. They are encouraged to do research and improve

their research skills. It can be used for different kinds of subjects and modified based on the age-

group being taught.

• Distance learning/education

This is a new strategy brought about by development in our technology. Teacher and student,

usually are not in the same place. Most distance learners are tied down because of numerous
reasons, family or work. But even in these conditions they would like to pursue their education.

Thus, universities and colleges started offering classes outside the classrooms.

Communication through e-mails, e-groups and online messengers are the primary means of

communication. In this kind of teaching approach, the students and the teachers should be

knowledgeable with recent computer technologies, especially for online messaging and the likes.

• Informal instruction

As the name itself says, this teaching approach uses methods which are less formal than usual

teaching methods. If you are a teacher and you know your student’s interests very well, then this

would be an ideal way of teaching. If you do not yet, then you can always ask them whether it is

by group or individual.

Online Teaching: Is It Effective?

By admin on Feb 20, 2009

Many people are gearing towards online teaching. Why more and more people are showing

interest is because of different administrative and accessibility reasons. For school and program

administrators, facilitating online education can be a lot easier than traditional teaching.

Why?

First, materials could be easily updated. Access to certain files can be restricted by using

passwords, time and date access. Aside from that, teachers could also facilitate large classes easily

and subject and course materials could be easily distributed.

It is also more flexible, since online teaching can encompass different limitations like time zones,

geographic locations and physical limitations. Technology can also help in enhancing learning
and knowledge among students. Technology would also allow your students to collaborate with

other student. Teachers could also explore different teaching methods of presentation.

To make online teaching a great experience for both teachers and students, there are things that

you can do.

• Set time frames at the beginning of the course. Use these times to respond or reply to student

comments and questions. This practice would help a teacher develop discipline among students

and at the same time set a routine for them. Make sure that students re well informed about the

time frame you have set.

If there would be any circumstances that you should change the time frame for responses, then

make sure that you students are informed of the changes. Give them adequate time to be informed

of the changes.

You should also inform your students if you will be missing for any part or the duration of the

semester.

• If you have assignments and discussions, then provide general feedback to the entire class. This

would allow students to get exposed to other ideas and at the same time learn from each other.

Give your students positive reinforcement and encouragement. Give them feedbacks that would

actually help them in improving their work. Comments like “good” can never be sufficient. Give

enough comments.

• Avoid over-facilitating. As a teacher, you do not have to answer all the questions. If you having

online discussions, let your students answer to each other. For example, if somebody asked about

a certain topic do not respond immediately. After a few days you would notice that some of your

students will be giving feedbacks or answers on their own.

• To make sure that the participation or discussion is continuous, regularly post acknowledgment

to student comments or post an idea that would encourage students to answer or post messages.

Aside from that, avoid having long lulls in the discussion boards. There would be times when

students would no be posting anything since there are nothing new to post about, so best to avoid

those circumstances.

There are also tendencies that students would stray away from the topics and discuss something

else. Guide your students and make sure that they would be discussing the topic. Redirect the

discussion but do not appear to be harsh, use humor, jokes or graphics to redirect the discussion.

• Before you move on to a new topic, make sure to summarize or having a closing session about

the topic. Make sure that students are united in understanding the concepts. This would be the

time to level-off with the students so that they would not get lost in the next topic.

Online teaching has many benefits, it is flexible and technology can be explored in different ways

so that you, the teacher and your students would benefit from it.
School ICT lessons a 'turn-off', says Royal
Society
ICT lessons: Inspiring pupils for the future or turning them off?

Information technology lessons in UK schools are so dull they are putting pupils off the subject

and careers in computing, top scientists warn.

The Royal Society said the situation would lead to an unskilled workforce and threaten the UK's

economy.

Launching a study of how lessons might be improved, the society said the number of pupils in

England doing ICT GCSE had fallen 33% over three years.

And there was a 33% fall, between 2003 and 2009, in ICT A-level candidates.

Now the Royal Society, the UK's national academy of science, is embarking on a new study:

Computing in schools and its importance and implications for the economic and scientific well-

being of the UK.

“Start Quote

We are now watching the enthusiasm of the next generation waste away through poorly conceived

courses and syllabuses”

End Quote Professor Steve Furber Royal Society

Researchers will look at curricula for ICT and computer science in schools, current exams and

assessment processes, training for teachers, as well as the facilities and resources available in

schools and colleges.

The study will report back in the autumn next year.

The research is supported by 24 organisations, including the Royal Academy of Engineering,

BCS Academy of Computing, the Council of Professors and Heads of Computing, Google,

Microsoft Research and several of the UK's leading universities.

'Poorly conceived courses'

Chair of the study, Professor Steve Furber, said: "The UK has a proud history of leading the way

in the field of computer science and associated disciplines, from the development of the world's

first stored-program computers to more recent innovations such as the invention of the world-

wide web.

"However, from this bright start, we are now watching the enthusiasm of the next generation

waste away through poorly conceived courses and syllabuses.

"If we cannot address the problem of how to educate our young people in inspirational and

appropriate ways, we risk a future workforce that is totally unskilled and unsuited to tomorrow's

job market."

Professor Matthew Harrison, Director of Education at the Royal Academy of Engineering said:

"Young people have huge appetites for the computing devices they use outside of school.

"Yet ICT and computer science in school seem to turn these young people off.

"We need school curricula to engage them better if the next generation are to engineer technology

and not just consume it."

The importance of research

for ICT teachers
By Terry Freedman | Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 10:00AM
How important is research for teachers in general, and ICT teachers in particular? One might be

tempted to say that people learn in the same way now as they did thousands of years ago, so

research, apart from keeping abreast of the latest developments in technology, is pretty redundant.

I think there are problems with that attitude.

First, we don’t know what we don’t know. Research can shed light on issues we didn’t even know

existed, and can raise questions we hadn’t realised even needed asking. Second, I’m not

convinced that people do learn in the same way as they did thousands of years ago. Technology

has meant that we can make mistakes that would have been fatal in the past, through the use of

simulations and modelling. Social media has meant that we can canvass, or be exposed to, views

from a much wider range of people than would have been possible hitherto. This happens by

accident almost. For example, I recently wrote an article about how school districts in the USA

are spending their money on computer hardware. This led to comments by John McLear, Michael

Pickett and someone called Hamish. All their views are interesting, especially as two of them

(John and Michael) seem to feel the same way as I do about tablets vs netbooks (article on that

subject is already in the works). Moreover, Michael has provided a couple of links to articles on

his website which I am looking forward to reading, and provided a further reference in Twitter

this morning. Perhaps in a sense the actual mechanisms by which stuff enters our brains, stays

there and then becomes useful in a practical way really hasn’t changed for millennia – which may

or may not be true, but in a sense that is irrelevant.

I’d also say that, if you discovered that your doctor hasn’t read a medical journal article since he

or she qualified, you might consider changing your doctor! Hopefully, research is not a life or

death issue in education, but I do believe that what makes a professional a professional is keeping

up-to-date with the issues and thinking that are pertinent to that subject. That’s why it’s quite right
that the powers-that-be believe teachers should continue to do research, although I agree with

Christina Preston (see below) that such research doesn’t have to be at Masters level.

What is research? On the one hand you have the highly academic stuff that universities and other

institutions engage in. On the other hand you have Freda Bloggs keeping a note of what happens

in her classroom when she introduces a new application into her teaching. And somewhere in the

middle are people like myself, who carry out research via online surveys or in Twitter. The

methodology may not be scientific in the true sense of the term, but I like to think that at the very

least it can act as a catalyst for discussion and flag up issues for further exploration.

But enough of this persiflage! Take part in a free online discussion, which takes place at 7pm UK

time on Tuesday 8th February, under the auspices of Vital. Christina Preston, founder of the

teacher-centred research organisation Mirandanet, and its seminar programme of Mirandamods,

discusses the importance of research for ICT co-ordinators. This is important because we don’t

have to rely on anecdotes to show people how important technology can be in the learning

process. Join Drew Buddie and me for an online discussion here. Please note that the discussion

and chat will be recorded.

13 reasons to use
educational technology
in lessons
By Terry Freedman | Thursday, March 3, 2011 at 3:34PM

Sometimes you need to convince colleagues to think about using educational technology in their

lessons, or to identify where in their scheme of work they could incorporate it.
This list is a starting point: you may find one or two points that would "resonate" with your co-

worker, and grab his or her attention.

1. Where information and communications technology (ICT) is taught well, it has

been shown to enhance pupils’ levels of understanding and attainment in

other subjects. That’s because “real” ICT is more about thinking skills than

about mastering particular software applications.

2. ICT can provide both the resources and the pedagogical framework for

enabling pupils to become effective independent learners. For example,

computer programs are available that adjust themselves to the pupils’ level

and then set appropriate tasks and give feedback on performance. Used

wisely, these can help pupils to move on.

Also, newer technologies such as Web 2.0 applications enables pupils and

others to collaborate in ways that reflect a broadly constructivist approach to

education.

3. ICT places all learners on an equal footing. Given the right hardware, software

and curriculum activities, even severely physically disadvantaged pupils can

achieve the same degree of success as anyone else.

4. ICT has been shown to have benefits in terms of motivating pupils. That

comes about partly through factors like being able to produce nice-looking

work with no teacher’s red marks all over it, and partly because the computer

is seen as being impartial and non-judgemental in its feedback to the pupil.

5. ICT enables pupils to gather data that would otherwise be difficult or even

impossible to obtain. For example, data from inaccessible places (eg outer
 space), inaccessible times (eg overnight), from both overseas and nationally

on demand (without having to physically go anywhere) or data at very precise

time intervals.

6. ICT enables pupils to gather data that would otherwise be time-consuming or

costly or both. For example, pupils can use the internet to get up-to-the-

minute information on prices. They can use a DVD or the internet to watch

movies of old dictators speaking, or the moon landings, or to listen to a piece

of music by Mozart.

7. ICT enables pupils to experiment with changing aspects of a model, which

may be difficult or even impossible for them to do otherwise. For example,

pupils of Business Studies and Economics can see what might happen to the

economy if interest rates were raised or lowered. Pupils can use webcams to

capture the development of an egg or a plant.

8. ICT enables pupils to draft or redraft their work until they are satisfied with it.

9. Another reason to use ICT in lessons is because it can help to implement

personalised learning.

10.Pupils usually enjoy using computers and other types of technology, so

lessons which make use of it start off with an advantage (which is all too often

squandered).

11.Educational technology puts the pupil in control (if it is well-designed),

enabling her to personalise the interface, select and create resources, and

even choose what to learn.

12.Just about every aspect of modern life involves educational technology;

therefore, to not make use of it in the curriculum is anachronistic.

13.Because educational technology pervades all aspects of modern society,

schools have a duty of care to ensure that pupils understand issues such as

keeping safe online, protecting their identity, recognising good and misleading

information sources on the internet, the effects of educational technology on

communications and the economy, to name but a few issues.
