This was how ICT began, in February 2004. There were 16 Manitoba educators who formed this . Kindergarten to Grade 8 teachers, were involved; including French and Aboriginal educators. It is interesting that they observed how students in their classrooms use ICT to learn. They observed and wrote down what they saw, throughout the curriculum. As they refined and formed the continuum, they came up with the two-dimensional matrix .They put their plan into action in June 2005, when they formulated questions regarding the research that was done. Eventually, the research was organized and guided by Manitoba Education in 2005-2006. They collected feedback to improve; along with a variety of strategies for ICT;
developed snapshots of how students af all ages are literate with ICT;
collected classroom based samples of student work with ICT;
designed professional learning strategies and tested theirm face to face and online;
set up networks of research teams throughout the province; and were supported from all school divisions in the province for the implementation of Literacy with ICT Across the Curriculum.
I think that it will be good, but are all teacher's going to be willing?

All teachers will not have a choice as long as the Directors and Principals are on board and are willing to support this document. Are there computers in your kindergarten classroom?
ReplyDeleteNo, unfortunately, there is only the one on the teacher's desk. I don't think that all teachers have one in their rooms, come to think about it. I think that they are striving to get more updated computers and a better system in the school. The one that they have now has many quirks in it, and sometimes it doesn't even work.
