Hi, I am in my 2nd year studying to be a teacher through CQUni. This blog was designed to help me reflect on my findings about ICT tools for my and my future students' learning.

Credible websites.

There is so much content knowledge that students should be taught within their school year. A teacher is not capable of remembering all the facts accurately, that is why it is useful to send students to find the information out for themselves or find it as a whole class on the Internet. It is helpful to find certain websites for students to browse instead of saying "Google it!" because you never know what they might find. A website that I found useful for my context at the moment (Prep unit: Space) was the NASA website.

The only negative that I can see with the NASA website is that the majority of information is written and not spoken, so I prep child would defiantly find it hard to navigate through various pages, as many do not have the ability to read. Upper primary have a FANTASTIC resource as NASA for kids has encyclopedias on various topics (relating to space) a dictionary and short movies about different space technologies.
