Digital Media and Computer Control Across the Curriculum

This week we looked at how technology can be fully integrated into the classroom. I’d used all of the equipment before as a pupil or as a classroom assistant, but this was the first chance I’d had to have a real go on everything without the fear of getting told off by the teacher!

Here’s what we looked at.

Dataloggers - devices that help you to capture data such as light, temperature and sound. Robust set designed for smaller hands.

Programmable toys - simple and child friendly layout is a perfect starting point for teaching control, directional language and programming to young children.

Digital Microscopes - Works in the same way a normal Microscope however the images it seen through it are sent to a computer monitor and can be recorded.
