Information Communication Technology is a form of knowledge
which allows pupils to explore different areas of pedagogical learning to build
different designs and strengthens a child’s learning capacity (Gov, 2014). From
my own personal learning experiences, this has allowed my mathematical learning
to be adapted and enhanced using mathematical software online (Greenhow, 2015).
Information Communication Technology is
a legal requirement as part of the new National Curriculum which will be
implemented in 2018.The Donaldson Report which was published in February 2015(CSCJES,
2015).Starting at Key stage one and two; it provides the child with a basic
understanding of how to navigate around the information and allow children with
a new way of thinking and expression (CSCJES, 2015) .However, in my personal
experience there were not enough computers to facilitate each individual-learner
in the classroom. Moreover, Information Communication Technology was invaluable
to my personal pedagogical learning. This enabled the information source to enhance
my knowledge of a specific topic by adapting the pedagogical style to the
lesson objectives (Akbiyik et al, 2012).
