HBSP - Technology everywhere

I completed by 5 day placement in a year 5 class and I noted some observations regarding the use of technology in the class. 

• Students used iPads when researching about game consoles for their non chronological reports (ICT used in literacy).
• Students had some difficulty in entering effective keywords that will help them find the answers to their questions. Perhaps it will be useful to give a session on searching skills. 
• Official game websites were blocked by the school so it will be important to check whether websites that the student may want to use can be opened
• Students went to the front of the classroom and used the interactive whiteboard to play multiple choice games which supplemented their lesson on non chronological reports. 
• Student selector from Triptico was used when selecting students to answer questions, hand out equipment and etc. 
• This method promoted fairness and prevents students from insisting that they are chosen
