Introduction: An ICT induction!

Now, that I have had a little rant, I mean blogged, allow me to introduce myself.  I am Marco, a PCET student with a placement at UWTSD.  I have a love / hate relationship with technology, or a sort of true self & false self-attitude towards it, depending on the way you look at it.

In other words I cannot live with it, nor can I live without it.  A Psychoanalytical concept describing an authentic experience, also by contrast, an experience of feeling empty and dead and hiding this behind a defensive façade.  This pretty much sums up my ICT experience.

An introduction to ICT, has seen me over the last couple of days become familiar with a plethora of applications relevant to the technological world that now exists in education.  These applications include Wordle, Hot Potatoes, Internet Detective, and Prezi. PowerPoint, Kahoot, Socrative Student & Learner and Microsoft applications... There is an abundance of learning aids, applications and technology software designed to aid you through the teaching and learning experience. 

Some of these are pretty good and dependent upon how you are preparing to teach can have some input into how you will teach in the future.  Prezi, was pretty ok and easy to use it can be useful when having to present a specific module, with limited amount of information, thus not providing overkill!!! Over the coming weeks, look out for some links, attributed to those identified, as I attempt to put into practice some of these new found skilled. 

Here is my first attempt at a PREZI!
