Access+To+Technology

=Ideas for gaining access to technology.= Many participants have commented on the fact that they have minimal computer access or can't easily access other modes of technology. We're going to use this space to list our 'creative' ideas for accessing computers, the computer room or other modes of technology (eg video camera). You may like to try out some of these ideas yourself or make some notes so that you can't prompt your participant teachers when they complain that they can't implement their unit of work because of access issues.


 * Acessing the computer room**
 * book extra time where possible
 * Use your computer at the front of the class and get them to come up in small groups to use it. When everyone has finished put the computer onto a data projector and show the whole class their results.
 * not have 'computers' as a separate subject
 * access 'unused' computers in other classes
 * laptop bank
 * How do you feel about students using your laptop? You could ask the tech to set up a second 'log in' (so that the rest of your info is private) and use it as an extra in your classroom.
