Re: technologies
Some information and comm techs can be usefull, but as long as they aid in teaching, not replace it. I think certain chemistry demonstrations, ect, if they can be done live are great, but I realize that their are some very nice demonstration videos and active model diagrams that are not possible in the classroom. My experience is that live participation and demonstration of principles is the best way to go if feasable. They help maintain interest. I think the best thing to do is try different methods of teaching. Try working with ICT stuff where it will be a help, or reduce time, and doesn't detract from the teaching. The last thing you want is students just sitting their watching videos all class period. Teaching is very much like a artform. You need to know the facts to present them, but you must know how to present them and engage the students to think for them to actually learn. Be creative, and try what you think will best convey the ideas and material to your students in an intersting and engaging manner.
