Finally at the end of the first semester to me at Bahrain Teachers College with all its assignments, exams, and projects as an IT teacher I can say that I learnt a lot from this subject that will help me during my next teaching experience starting with how to create a blog that will be an important and effective tool to write the diary online till we reach the computer games and simulations.
From the subject I've studied 6 main topics listed in Student-Centred Leaning, Computer as a Tutee, Tutor, and Tool, Inquiry-based Learning, How to create a Web Quest, the Mind Tool, and the Simulation and games.
For the Student-Centred Learning I've understand that how the teacher give the student the direct to teach; where the example of it was the Project based Learning, Web Quest, and the Video games.
To show for the students how the computer in an intelligent machine in education it has to be delivered in three modes as tutee, tutor, and tool. Each one of them differs than the other; where in the Tutor mode the Technology will control the environment where on the other hand for the Tutee mode the Student will control the environment and when it comes as a Tool the Technology is assist in Learning.
The three modes have different applications; where for the Tutor the applications are Drill and Practice, Tutorials, Simulations, and Games with problem Solving, while Tool applications are Word Processing, Spreadsheets, and Database, and the Tutee applications are the Programming Languages such as the Java, Visual Basic, and C++.
Moreover, I got the knowledge from studying the Inquiry based to seek the information using the questioning strategy, because it is rather than getting the information directly we have to research for it prepare it as a Web Quest that is a learning activity that will allow the students to get interest with resources to shoe how the students accomplish the tasks and then expect to successfully achievement for the given tasks and finally write down the summary of all activities.
And finally we studied about computer games and the concept map or Mind Tool that are used in Schools and eve at the universities now a days in education; where with creating the concept map we have to place the Title in the centre of it and the main points to be placed on the nodes.
As an IT teacher I need to study more of these topics in order to help my students to be aware of computing in different ways.
