Unit 335
Outcome 1: Understand how IT can support personal development.
Understand how IT tools and resources can support own learning and development.
There are many IT tools available that can assist learning. Within my place of employment we have Target Tracker software to manage and track pupil progress and learning, subject specific software such as Smart Learning and a fully implemented Virtual Learning Environment for the entire school.
The Target tracker software enables the teaching staff to monitor and manage individual pupil’s personal targets and levels of comprehension. Target Tracker improves the productivity of the teaching staff as they can actively monitor pupil improvement throughout their class room and focus on

I was also directed from Google.co.uk to a number of personal and private blogs and forums that satisfied my search criteria. All these Web 2.0 tools greatly assisted me in completing my task and equipping me with the knowledge to do these again in future. “Web 2.0” is a term coined by Tim O’Reilly in 1999 to describe non – written script web pages. They allow me to improve my knowledge base and develop working understanding of IT systems through the use of Blogs, podcasts and Videos.
A further tool to aid my personal development that I use in my job role is Outlook 2010. I use Outlook 2010 to communicate with the staff and my managers but its main role is to aid in my personal reflection of my work through its calendar and tasks applications. I use the calendar and tasks applications to show accountability of tasks, the length of time it takes to complete tasks and keep a personal learning log. This not only allows me to organise my day and gives me a working check list of duties and tasks, it allows me to further improve my performance by seeing where time could have been saved and keeps a log of problems and obstacles that I overcame.
Mobile devices are prohibited in the school outside of the staffroom. However I understand that they can aid learning and development by giving the user access to content remotely at any time. This allows the user to review and revise at any time and on the go. It can also be used to receive , asses and respond to information sent to
Phones are easy to use and very accessible by both students and teachers. “Smartphones allow us to take down notes any time, any place.” “smartphones allows you to access resources and material quickly before an exam.” “not only can we make videos, but we can also edit them, add text, filters, effects and more.” This is true because smartphones really do work in a way that is helpful to students and teachers. This evidence is supporting it by just stating that there are many cool and useful ways to use them.
There are 2 things we've recently done that may be confusing to what we're trying to accomplish.
Inclusive learning is about ensuring all your learners have the opportunity to be involved and included in the learning process. It’s also about treating all learners equally and fairly, without directly or indirectly excluding anyone. Inclusion is about attitudes as well as behaviour, as learners can be affected by the words or actions of others. You are not teaching you’re subject to a group of learners who are all the same, but to a group of individuals with different experiences, abilities and needs which should be recognised and respected. Agreeing individual learning plans (ILPs) and/or action plans can help formalise

Here we have plugged in the values into our formula. When solving we do order of operations first and we will solve exponents first.
assessments for monitoring student learning during the lesson (e.g., pair share, use of individual whiteboards, quick quiz)
Integration and agreements made will reduce tariffs barriers that are associated with trades of goods, services and the factors of produced goods between countries (Hill, 2004). As this paper will demonstrate a proper analysis of how integration will promote global advantages in business, and will deliberate the disadvantages and advantages of integration. Therefore touching basis of contrast and comparing the development of economic stages within a region and the effect on the process of development of business globally.
The movie I will write about is the The Purge Anarchy. I would say have more than one genre. I would say that the genres are action, horror and thriller. Action movies are movies that have a tremendous impact, continue high energy and lots of physical activities. Horror movies are unsettling movies designed to frighten and panic, cause dread and alarm, and to invoke our hidden worst fears, often in a terrifying, shocking finale, while captivating and entertaining us at the same time in a cathartic experience. These are types of films known to promote intense excitement, suspense, a high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, anxiety, and nerve-wracking tension. Thriller and suspense films are
According to Charles Zastrow, back on history it was difficult to meet the needs of people with cognitive disability. Furthermore, people with mental illness were seen as they were possess by the demons in which people use exorcism to cure the illness. The lack of knowledge people used cruel punishment to cure people with mental health problems. In 1601 the Poor Law give financial support to poor people who were unemployed but also those with disability. These was the first attempt to help people with disability. Zastrow claims that, during the 19th century the first program to help people with disability was develop in United States. The rehabilitative services provided for persons with mental and physical problems are “vocational evaluation,
Thank you for responding to my discussion board post. I’m glad you found all of the resources which I provide for use when scripting and programing helpful. I have used stackoverflow.com to be helpful as well in the past. I will added to my list of resources when I do scripting and programing in the future.
I need to monitor and assess the progress of each student by maintaining accurate record using a variety of assessment tools, gaining feedback, formative informative,formal and informal whilst also maintaining my organisations requirements.
These are as fundamental as pens and a notebook used to be. The bulk of your student's academic work, from taking notes to doing research and writing papers, happens on a laptop. (A tablet and keyboard are ok too, if they're good quality.) The smartphone
Secondly, it is no doubt that using mobile phones in campuses has many advantages. One reason is that using mobile phones in schools provide a new platform for education systems similarly as laptops, desktops and personal digital assistant (Rankin, 2008). Use mobile phones may help people to download power point slides, take notes, share ideas with others by Bluetooth and research questions on web side etc. Moreover mobile phones are used to check class schedules or take quizzes on the way to schools (Kharif 2008). The other reason is that students may have a good communication with their parents by using mobile phones during school time even for emergency situations. There is two third of parents contact their children during campus time, mainly to awoke them of medical appointments or other commitments. (Beattie, 2009) Consequently, students should be encouraged bring mobile phones to school.
First of all, Mobile phones are a learning tool. Beside teachers who are teaching students in classroom with math, science and
