This week I was able to use the IWB with powerpoint. I was doing a number quiz with the class as a starter to a maths lesson and they thoroughly enjoyed it. I think it worked much better than simply reading the questions and it seems to me that the children are a little more motivated in their work when they have technological stimulus. I'm not sure if this is because they are used to most things being fast paced or if they simply enjoy the graphics which can be used on the computers, either way they all tried really hard in the quiz!
Aside from that I taught my second ICT lesson which involved teaching them how to use the shift key. The vast majority of the class knew that they had to press the 'arrow button' to make a capital letter but they didn;t know what it was called. The ICT lessons are only between 15 and 20 minutes and the children are always eager to demonstrate what they have learnt.
