What is your earliest memory of digital technology in the classroom?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A small group of us building a Sinclair ZX80 with the school physics technician (1980…). We raised money to buy it by holding discos in the physics room on Thursday lunchtimes. Computers were awesome in those days…<\/p>\n

Which digital technology do you use most in your teaching\/work practice, and why?<\/strong>
\nPowerpoint (‘bread-and-butter’ presenting format), Moodle\/DLE (mostly basic use to supply lecture materials but with forays into online quizes, discussion boards), Pebblepad (for reflective work with students) and, of course, email…<\/p>\n

What benefits do you think this technology has for students? what student\/user feedback have you had about this digital technology?<\/strong>
\nIt’s obviously useful for students to be able to access course materials easily (but not necessarily always good for their learning).<\/p>\n

Which technologies have you found to be the most influential over the past 10 years in your teaching?<\/strong>
\nPowerPoint and the World-Wide-web (but not always in good ways).<\/p>\n

What do you predict will be the biggest or most exciting development in education\/digital technologies over the next 5 years?<\/strong>
\nI’m sure there will be many weird and wonderful ones but for now I just want to explore using an iPad as a virtual whiteboard and using ‘content capture’ to produce maths support materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
