Information and communication technologies
In my classroom, I use the Smartboard a lot and my students are usually the ones interacting with it. It is a way to manipulate what they need to learn or what they have learned.
In Grade 2, I would have my students using the computer lab once every 2 weeks. However in Grade 1, I find it difficult to use the computers since my students have already so much to learn and so many fine motricity skills to practice.
I will sometimes use the ipads with the whole group especially for my math and French work stations.
This being said, I will however take the time to prepare bigger projects using technology for my gifted students.
I also have a classroom website that I use to share information with my parents. I am not using it this year because the parents asked to get important information on paper.
