Exam Preparation
Posted by Chloe on Thursday, May 24, 2012
I have to say I can't believe that exams are going up already. We have now been given our six potential exam questions, I think that after some good researching I should be ok with these. The exam doesn't seem so scary now. The questions are:
1. Imagine you are team teaching with another teacher and you are planning a joint lesson in a curriculum area using technology. The other teacher wants to create a PowerPoint presentation to deliver to the class, and then ask students to fill in an online quiz. What might you say to the teacher to convince him or her that this is not such a good way to teach with technology?
2. Describe five ways you could use technology (applications, hardware, software, web tools, etc.) to create a sense of community at your school.
3. Imagine the Principal in your school wants to buy some new technology for the school and has asked your advice on electronic whiteboards? What would you say and why?
4. Choose one of the following ICT tools and describe five ways it could be used by you as a teacher with students in a subject area of your choice:
• Twitter
• YouTube
• Flickr
• Diigo
• Blogger
• Wikis
5. Describe a lesson, in a subject area of your choice, where you begin the lesson by asking students to take out their mobile phones and switch them on.
6. The Principal of your school has announced that the local council will host a centenary celebration of your suburb (or town) in a few weeks time. The Principal believes that this is a great opportunities for students to learn more about the place where they live, and has asked each class to complete a project on the suburb (or town) during the weeks before the celebration. Describe an authentic learning project using technology that your class could do.
My plan is to start reading the unit text book everyday and note down anything that is in relation to any of the exam questions. I then plan to google search and find some information. I think it's really helpful that we get an A4 sheet to take into the exam. Mine will hopefully will be filled with some helpful information to help me during the exam. I don't want to focus to much on the sheet because we still need to study for the exam.
Hopefully everything goes ok and I get a good mark. Wish me luck!
