Hey Rose!
It's a well-scripted post and a nice looking blog. I like the moon background especially!
But I also agree with what you say here! I think many people who have tried and failed with ICT still perhaps misunderstand how to creatively utilise it in classrooms (which is a challenge of course!).
I used ICT to organise a few inquiry based lessons this semester and it worked out great. I am on board with inquiry learning and think students need the chance to use their scientific and problem solving skills in the science classroom.
I had some ace physics lessons that were set up as challenges to different teams of students. The students responded well to a bit of a competitive atmosphere. Do you have any good inquiry-based to share?
Oh and I also love 'Mythbusters!' has many episodes which can be used to supplement a science lesson. I used one last semester where they try using Thermite to blow a hole in a wall! Do you have any favourites?
I'm hoping to improve learning with ICT and share my knowledge with fellow science teachers... like you!
Well Done!
