ICT at the school is two-dimensional . We offer IT and S.I.L.
While practical skills-based lessons are conducted through all the 6 year-groups, teachers are quite flexible - providing leeway for authentic integration in all subject areas.
There are five main curriculum areas the we focus on:

Shabana (Raiyans Mum)
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed learning how you handle ICT in the PYP ...And how you educate our children....
Teaching them to handle the internet and communicate within the school site is a great and safe way to introduce the children to the 'real' world of computers.
Mandeep (Arnavs dad) says i think the kids really enjoy the ict time and would enjoy more time and accessibility to the equipment.
ReplyDeletethanks

Sabira Thakker (Serish and Alissa Thakker of 6K and 4A) says:
ReplyDelete"This is a gr8 idea! Our kids need to be tech-savvy but more importantly use the information rationally and be able to decipher between the truth and creative thinking. My kids have certainly become more independent as far as ICT goes.... I would like them to improve in their ability to use and incorporate multi-media into their presentations and work to make their communication more effective and interesting."
Hi Mr. Perez,
ReplyDeleteRiaan enjoys his computer lessons and of late he likes mentioning the internet for games. I got a little scared of letting him lest he gets hooked up to games then later facebook. Now am encouraged to know you teach about ethics in ICT. Keep up the great job.
This is Salimah (Kais & Kalyn's mum). I am very glad that they are learning to use the internet wisely and also to use the cloud. Thank you for having us.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great workshop, i m really enjoying. Asante sana:). Wahaab really enjoys his ICT session and he loves his ICT teacher Mr. Perez. He knows too much abt ICT now like how to browse on internet, how to use email account, how to take that information and make a powerpoint, it really helps him to do his assignments.

ReplyDeleteThanks for organizing this workshop. Much appreciated. We dont really see his work at home. Could you give them some assignments at home may be once a week?
Dinesh Patel Parent of rahil Patel
ReplyDeleteIn ICT they learn how to use the computer, how to communicate, and how to use the internet safely. More importantly how to download games and play games.
The children should be taught that internet is a powerfool tool and if not used correctly it can also be dangerous. The should learn the pros and cons of computer and internet usage.
Naush says he is Gibran and Raiaan's father.
ReplyDeleteMy children both love ICT as a subject and like the fact that they can access the computer to research other subjects.
Raiaan likes to play games whereas Gibran likes to use new applications. He is already using the outlook application from home to chat with his friends after school.
Raiaan needs to be encouraged to use new appications.
Thanks for the session.
Naush.

Mrs Pallvi Gandhi - Aman's mum
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank you for te wonderful presentation on ICT today. From the feedback I get from Aman, he has learnt a lot from the class and also told me about outlook.com. I do see a marked positive change in him when he works on the computer. Atually he teaches me these days!! As already initiated by yourself, websites creations shoud be given emphasis since it is greatly required in today's times.
But on the whole, a job done well by Mr. Perez on the kids.
Sabira says, "Can the kids be taught how to download games and music and how to develop interactive sites please?"
