While I already realize that ICT can play an important role in learning, today has gotten me thinking as to just how important and useful it really is in our changing world. One thing that I often struggle with is the balance between teaching basic language arts and math skills and then using ICT to support that. My perspective is slightly different now because though I differentiate when I teach, I had not ever thought of using various types of IT to differentiate. I think this is because I personally don't have enough skills to differentiate through IT and so I find it hinders or makes it challenging for me to use in that way. Now that I realize I can use it as a differentiation tool, I am more open to learning more so that I can use it effectively. I am looking forward to learning as much as possible to take back with me for classroom use.
