On reflection of today's lesson, it is clear to see that the use of ICT in teaching is important and not by just using the common applications that we all known to become to familiar with such as Word and PowerPoint. Today, I have learned of two new programmes that can aid learning in the classroom, these are Wordle and Hot Potatoes. Both of these will be great to use in the learning environment to enhance learning. My subject is Travel and Tourism (can't you tell?) like many other vocational subjects there are key words that need to be remembered throughout the learning process. Wordle will be a great tool for both myself and the students as they could create their own Wordle to help with exam revision and also to help remember key words throughout the year. The other programme Hot Potatoes was also a really good aid (not quite sure why its called that) which is basically a tool that creates quiz's and crosswords for you and then save them to your computer or post the link where you like. This will be a great form of a quick assessment at the end of the class to see if students have understood that lessons aims and objectives.
