Similar to what AnnMarie and Mary have mentioned, incorporating internet safety into SPHE lessons will be hugely beneficial. It's area that is becoming more and more popular and sometimes children may not see the negative effects of this (Eg: Cyberbullying) The webwise teacher's handbok is something which I will download and keep in my folder and on the school LAN.

As previous people have mentioned, having displays in the classroom so that children are reassured is important. I have learned that children should always be supervised and that using educational resources such as Scoilnet and Britannica are a safe and secure way. Like Mary, I will be setting up a netbook to keep track of which child used which piece of ICT equipment.

On copyrighting, this is an area where children may not have a lot of information. Again, incorporating into SPHE lessons and getting in a guest speaker to talk about safe ways of using information correctly. (This was done last year) Explaining that you should not use information unless you have permission to do so. I think once the foundations are set early, children will understand the importance of it and in turn, this will help them when they go to second and third level. (Plagiarism etc)

The key learning points for me are :

1. How to integrate and use ICT effectively within the classroom.

2. The different tools that are available online.

3. Setting up an e- portfolio within the classroom.

4. The use of Scoilnet and learner path.

5. Internet Safety

6. Copyright usage.

How this knowledge can be applied

Throughout this course, there has been so many different new things to try. I can apply my knowledge through the use of Google Drive and Kahoot. As mentioned in an earlier module, I have used Kahoot before to make quizes etc. Google Docs is something which is easy to set up and accessible to all. Scoilnet is a great idea. It's safe and the idea of the learner path is great. There are also great strategies for Integration and Differentiation. I also liked Britannica. In terms of internet safety, I enjoyed looking at duckduckgo.com and the app "Ask Everything". There are some great ideas here to try out and this is something which I fully intend to do.

Main Challenges

The biggest challenge for me is the amount of devices that will be available. I teach in a big school and while we have good ICT facilities, some tend to be slow and are never charged properly. It can then be disappointing for the children when we intend to use them. In order to prevent this from happening, as mentioned int the module content, preperation is key here. Being punctual, well prepared and organised will resolve many of these issues. At times, the bulb for the IWB can blow, but I have asked for a few extra to be order for the next academic year.

Next Steps in relation to the use of ICT

As highlighted, I fully intend to use some of the outstanding features mentioned in the course content (Kahoot, Edmodo, Scoilnet) Promethean Planet is another piece of software which is a great aid. I intend to use this much more this year. I will continue to use Kahoot and I want to begin using Google Docs. This will be extremely beneficial to me in my daily teaching. It also allows me to use the different forms of assessment such as AOL and AFL. The learner path is the one that stands out for me. I really enjoyed completing the activity in module 4 . It's quick, easy and free! There are some great lessons to be taught. Aladdin is something which I used this year but only for recording attendance. I will be using this more as a result of completing this module. I now feel confident using ICT in the classroom.

These five modules have taught me that if ICT available why not use it and do so wisely. I think internet safety is very important and something which I will be doing more of, especially in SPHE. I feel confident now using ICT to assess the children in my class

I would prefer duckduckgo.com as it is more appealing in terms of colour and presentation. I know the pupils I teach would find this very user friendly.

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout each module, there are various tools to use, such as Google drive, Kahoot, Scoil net etc. To use these effectively, teachers need up to date information, adequate computer skills, confidence to use ICT, make it interesting for the students involved and most importantly that the students (and you!) enjoy utilising ICT onto your daily teaching.

With reference to Edmodo and Google Drive I could see myself using these, especially with Gaeilge.

An example would be giving out sentences, grammar questions, sceálta, dánta, amhráin. It is easy to access, it's free, allows me to monitor the class instantly and gives the children the opportunity to do it in school or at home.

# data[].attributes.body
It allows the teacher to see exactly where the student is at and highlight any difficulties they may be having.

Feedback can be given instantly. Work can be given and received back within the day, if desired.

Edmodo helps the teacher with formative assessment. It also makes the children become more independent about turning in  assignments as this process will give them an insight into 2nd and 3rd level education.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, the advantages of using ePortfolios as storage are:
1. Easy to record.
2. All information is kept in one place.
3. Information can be edited quickly and easily.

The advantages of using ePortfolios as workspace are:
1. Feedback can be instant.
2. Mistakes are easily fixed.
3. It can be neatly presented and hadnwriting is not an issue.

ePortfolios are very effective in helping children with SEN. It helps with their hand and eye coordination. Children that may have poor handrwriting will have the confidence to continue.

Finally, using computers helps children self confidence and boosts self esteem. There is also a great satisfaction when completed.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest advantages are that:
1. There is no paper and that's a positive for the environment.
2. Easy access. You know the exact location of your work.
3. When work is submitted, you will still have a copy so that you can check it up at a later date.

# data[].attributes.body
My understanding of Portfolio is a project/collection of documents. A portfolio of work is the job/work to be completed. An eportfolio is exactly the the same as a portfolio but the only difference is that everything is done through a computer/tablet/electronic device. There is paper.

I use ICT on a daily basis within the classroom from working on personal files to using Aladdin to take attendance and converse with school staff.

# data[].attributes.body
In relation to the first post, I would use Assessment for Learning on a weekly basis. For example, bringing children up to the IWB. I would have a quiz like situation set up. Each child would get at least one go. An example would be: topic on maths.  What is the best unit of measurement to weigh your school bag? I would give four possible answers. The questions would then gradually get more difficult.  I know in my class, they love the idea of using the IWB and it takes any fear away from the usual "test". I have found this very useful this year and it is something which I will continue to use next year.

 I have used Kahoot as a form of assessment and found that children really engage with it. They love the idea of a quiz. I have used it when teaching maths. An example would include my teaching of capacity. What unit of measurement would be correct? It is very useful and the ability to print off the results is also an added bonus for me
