A Project we did was called " Encouraging English Elementary School".
Our goal was to develop methods, systems,
tools, services, products etc. in order to encourage learning, in this case
English, at a fun, educational, entertaining and easy way,. We came up with a
prototype which is a method where, by using karaoke, the pupils learned
new words and made sentences with these words.
The target groups were students of the 5th grade, because in Suriname teachers start teaching English at the 5th grade, so to pupils between 10 - 12 years.
We also made this video of the project.
As a teacher I started to use ICT's in my classroom and also encouraged students to do so.
For example, I had to explain some economical terms like "inflation", GDP etc so what I did was I made groups of three to four students. I asked each group to do some research, and explain it to me at the next lessen. The students came up with videos from Youtube, Khan Academy etc.
I noticed that the students are also very interesd in ICT, because previously students used only tradional methods for a presentation, but nowadays they use a lot of ICT's, One assignment they are doing now is to write a simple business plan and present it. Some students used a mixture of traditional tools and ICT's.
One group's business plan was about a child care center. This group created a play room and used ICT's to develop and present their business plan.
