@ianaddison for this week's session.
2mins til we start discussing How to educate more teachers in
ianaddison 19:57 integration of technology into curriculum? - include #ukedchat in
your tweets
RT @ukedchat: Join @ianaddison in 15 mins. for #ukedchat this
PICTR_Blog 19:57 week - How do we educate more teachers in integration of
technology into curriculum?
Think can tentatively say due to someone's technical wizardry we
eyebeams 19:59 have all the allied files and links - so #saveTTV has "saved" TTV
#ukedchat

ianaddison 19:59 ok, i'm sure we've discussed this and similar before, but how do we
get teachers integrating tech in their lessons? #ukedchat
Off to yoga shortly, so will miss start of #ukedchat - will try to catch

GaryAveryICT 20:01 @ianaddison do we ban Powerpoint & Word and 'enlighten' the
masses to all the other ICT resources available #ukedchat #pri
@ianaddison Oldest question in the book - make it relevant and
eyebeams 20:01 useful to their own practice - make it invaluable- pupils show way
#ukedchat

@GaryAveryICT but why ban a particular resource? powerpoint can

be made well and badly #ukedchat
@ianaddison Cliche now but should be made aware that it's only
misshbond 20:02 worth using tech when it has a purpose for learning not just 4 sake
#ukedchat
@misshbond @ianaddison I agree, but there are so many ways that

@john_at_muuua agree. Technology is frightening at first-people

@GaryAveryICT Don't think you should ban anything. Lead by

#ukedchat #pri

ianaddison 20:04 i'm trying to make how-to guides and videos for everything we use,

Cherise_Duxbury 20:05 something else they have to get to grips with along with app etc

ePaceonline 20:06 #ukedchat think it isn't right to see it as the only way. Positives of
tech should be integrated into whole range of excellent resources
