After a fortnight of trialling the split, here is the feedback that they have given me:
- Turn taking - children end up with a longer amount of time on the laptops throughout the week doing meaningful tasks
- Other kinds of activities have been included in the day to day programmes (such as shared book activities)
- Bookmarks and links have made it easier for children to locate websites that are pertinent to them
- Workstations - task boards and tumble boards are being used
- ICT is being integrated more effectively - no longer a stand alone thing!
Problems:
- Children don't like others 'hanging' around - this has been addressed with the premise that their name will be put at the bottom of the tumble
- Children need to be upskilled on troubleshooting - such as opening the wrong file or website
- Younger or less capable children need assistance from either older peers, teacher aides or teachers when uploading or converting files for their Ultranet pages
