Description
A science teacher explains how he uses ICT in his classroom. Students were learning about Acids and Bases and were conducting an experiment. Students take images of the process and record audio using Adobe Voice. Students then create a video using the collected media. Classes also use PicCollage to create posters of the work they have done. Teacher introduces Aurasma which allows the students to insert AR into their notes. They draw a logo and link it to a piece of content. When they scan the logo with their phone, it shows the content. Teacher uses these videos for assessment – self and peer. Students use their own devices in class as it is important to teach them life skills. The Science Department in the school have a blog where they showcase their students’ work and make videos for the students to revise.
