Technology and the use of ICT’s within the classroom
ICT’s and various technologies, i believe are becoming an integral part of the teachers’ repertoire within the scholarly scene. The term ICT itself, or Information and Communication Technologies encompasses all forms of technology that able us to preview, review, connect and communicate with whoever whilst wherever we may be. Looking at what Anderson (2010) has said on the USQ StudyDesk, ICT once IT (Information Technology) was used to describe floppy disks, computers, scanners, printers etc. However, in a few years time, saw the internet come into play and now laptops nearly in every school. Therefore it will be essential for us as forthcoming teachers to incorporate the use of technology into our own personal pedagogy.

ICT in Primary Education: Transforming children’s learning across the curriculum
Why and how are teachers integrating ICT (Information and Communication Technology) into primary education? In this course we analyse examples from schools in different parts of the world, and bring professional teachers, headteachers and policymakers together to share their best ideas and inspiring stories. The materials in the course are based on studies carried out for the UNESCO Institute of IT in Education, Moscow.

ICT and the 21st Century Primary School; Week 1
When I was in the Kindergarten classroom we took a virtual field trip to Decorah, Iowa to watch the life cycle of the eagles. Together we researched Eagles through the web, books and this website. http://www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles This site includes videos of the past 6 months, from mating to “wingersizing”. The children made books showing the stages through drawing and sentences, dictated or written on their own. I continue to use this virtual field trip with all of the students I tutor. There is so much to learn.
