Benefits and limitation of Blogs in the classroom

In the first day I enjoy the ICT class course I thought that this courses it will go and I not get any new knowledge to improve my self as a teacher or I learn some think new in teaching. But every day I attend the classroom I get new knowledge and I learn new information which I transferred that to my class and my student.

By learning and using the blogs in classroom it help me to understand the course in better way and give me the ability to right the concept in my language and what I understand in this curriculum and I put my comment about it. The other think is the discuss ideas between the teachers, work to gather as team and sharing the information, all of this increase my ICT teaching vision and push me to change the teaching technique.
The problem I face is the course or classroom is the homework which is very difficult to do it in the classroom because it take time and when I went to home I don’t have the time to do it. I become busy with family and schools works for that rezone I not finish my homework in the time.

I wish that my works in this course accomplish the result what I expect.

Week11 - ICT as Tutor

Most teacher in several yours go they start using the ICT

as Tutor in classroom because it help the teachers to conduction the concept to student.
The teachers using suitable materials to enhance their teaching by :

Drill-and-practice
Tutorial
Simulation
Games

How we should use the ICT Tutor?
Its good to using the ICT as Tutor but the teacher should be using it in proper way and select proper material.

What is limitation for ICT as Tutor?
There is group of people they thought that in the future we will no need

for teachers and we can online learn or using the teaching materials. Yes what they say could be right but the teacher job not teaching only in the classroom. He learn the student which is more than conduction the concept he learn and teach the student the human communication which it can not get it by ICT materials.

The people learn in different way. The recent learning theories suggest that learning is a socio cultural phenomena.
ICT support the learning conversations by online discussion like (Block Board) , knowledge sharing like (Wiki), social networking like ( FaceBook). This type of learning help student to increase his knowledge faster and with reach information. In the same time we should know that using this tools of learning its not secure and not safety and should be careful when we use it and th parent should look what they chilled do or work in it online.
