A brief history of how I've used ICT for teaching

As a classroom teacher I have used technology in a few ways and with varying levels of success. For example:

Hong Kong: Private International School (01-02)


South Korea: private English academy (04-05)
  • Small classes and small rooms- no PCs or projectors, only CD players
  • About 10 teachers shared two PCs in the staff room so these were used little to prepare teaching materials
  • The academy taught using textbooks with no internet/ICT tasks for students
  • All assessments and record keeping were done with paper and pen tests but CDs were used for listening tasks

Wales, UK: government-run local high school (05-07)
  • PCs and projectors used often in lesson preparation, delivery and record keeping
  • Class registers were computerised
  • Homework tasks occasionally required online research Hong Kong: subsidised local high school (07- now)
  • PCs and projectors used often in lesson preparation, delivery and record keeping
  • Homework tasks occasionally require online research
