I am pleased to attended classes with children and have different teaching experience. I think it’s different than the primary classes. I attend two classes without any technology but I enjoy both of them. I like the ways that the teacher uses to sing songs for the children and praises them. Also, I like the face expression of the children while they are singing. I think the classes are brilliant but if there will be any kind of technology, the children will be interested more. For example, I believe that if the teacher varies her activities between the tradition ways and technology the lesson will be a mixture of teaching strategies and the students will be more motivated.
On the other hand, I am happy when I attend two classes applying technology. I notice there are many advantages and disadvantages of using technology in these classrooms. Firs of all, I see that the students are enjoyed when the teacher writes on the smart board the numbers with different colors and draws apples, circles, triangles and pizzas. I notice the students saying the different shapes, numbers and colors. In addition, I think they also like writing the number on the board. However, there are some students have difficulty to write on the smart board. Also, I am upset because the teacher wastes some time to fix the pen of the smart board. In my view, it’s difficult for her to get the students paying attention again after interrupting them many times. So, I think each teacher wants to use the technology software or hardware she has to check them before beginning the class to avoid any technical problems. One of the most things to avoid any problem during the lesson is that the teacher should be well prepared and plan her lesson well. Moreover, I interested in attending a class of math in the computer lab. I like seeing the students practicing the numbers by using learning.com. I think it’s helpful because this website (task) enhances their learning on both math and ICT and builds on their prior knowledge. I enjoy helping some students to do the tasks. I am surprised because some students work without any help and they already know how to press on the numbers. It’s a good experience to know how to use technology with children but the most part that the teacher has to be careful about it is that how to be well prepared to save through the lesson.

Fatma I really like your alternative technological ideas to enhance students' learning
wish u all the best

I am interested in the problems the teacher faces with the IWB. Is it because of lack of familiarity or because the boards often go wrong. I admit to being wary of using them at the college as they often do not work/ have not been set up properly. Ask the teachers what they think of them - I'd be interested in what they have to say.
Thanks Reem
Mr. Andy:
these problems happen because sometimes the pen need battries and they have to get that from the technicians. It takes time to fix that. I think the IWB which is in the school is easier than which we have it in the college. I will ask the teacher then I will write it in the comments.
