Having ICT as part of a classroom is amazing, if you can use it properly. Unfortunately apart from my experience in the last year I have had little to no experience with anything except basic computer skills. Now my experience relates to the following areas:
 * Microsoft office and other microsoft programs
 * Basic functions of IWB including easiteach
 * Photoshop, photostory

In the future i would like to be able to use my IWB every single day in place of more traditional methods (such as marking the role, happy/sad face).


 * __UNIT PLAN__**

PREP- VELS level 1

Unit Topic - Literacy - **WHAT IS THE REAL STORY?**

VELS links:


 * English Level 1 Reading** - 'Students understand, interpret, critically analyse, reflect upon, and enjoy written and visual, print and non-print texts. It encompasses reading and viewing a range of texts and media. Reading involves active engagement with texts'.


 * English Level 1 Writing** - 'Writing involves using appropriate language for particular purposes or occasions, both formal and informal, to express and represent ideas and thoughts'.


 * What real-world connections are you considering?**
 * Morals: their place in stories and how they relate to real life.


 * What would be the role of the students?**
 * The students would use various types of texts such as fairy tales and nursery rhymes to critcally analyse the roles of characters, point of view and deconstruct a plot to find out why the author has written the story this way. Students will also consider the hidden story: the parts of the story not told.


 * What project scenario are you considering?**
 * (C.11) Students select a character and analyse their actions in the story: how have those actions affected others and the plot of the story.
 * (C.14) Students read the traditional story of The Three Little Pigs and the Wolf's version. Students analyse the two stories and collect evidence to support one of the stories that they believe is correct.
