Today we visited 2 schools 1 comprehension school, and 2 upper secondary school. Found out about the course for 7th graders called 'home economy', in which students learned how to cook, make chores,manage money and even sell homemade products and vegetables.
In lessons used Ipads, there also project about pupils who cannot attend school if they are ill so classmates speaks with him, thus encouraging him to back to school as soon as possible.
Schools are well equipped,400 st-45 stuff-principal
they do not have exam, even when they are graduated there are no exam, there were also 2 students of universities who were practicing here. We found out from them that practical work longed 1 month and for every year. Visited some classes
Afternoon: We have met with one young teacher and project manager who is researching the use of I pads in education.The main advantages of I pads versus laptops is its price. I pads is twice chipper and also it is convenient to use it is light and its battery's capacity is stronger. They did experiment using iPad in learning(book creator) and want to compare results with another class. I got the idea to develop myself 'how to use iPad in math lessons'. In thisproject, and implement it, there are no resistances from older teacher as we expected. All teachers are eager to implement invitational projects.
A good site for creating tests: socrative.com
Ipads is useful for making portfolio, e.g. 'What i have learned during these 3 years'
ICT literacy, students nowadays can easily find information from internet, we should teach them in student centered way, just to give them question and students try to find out the answer or decisions
Teachers have to be active themselves and do not wait while Ministry of Education will offer them any changes, they need to be initiators
World is changing to fast, there will be no more published books(Ipad era) and we teachers must learn how to use them in our lessons
Met with Vesa and talked about my project he said it is good
