The use of ICT in teaching technics and technology

Informacijsko-komunikacijska tehnologija nas v današnjem času spremlja na vsakem koraku. Z njo odraščajo tudi naši učenci. Njim so IKT naprave zato še bolj blizu. Na taka dejstva moramo biti učitelji v šoli pripravljeni. Učitelji se moramo na področju uporabe IKT nenehno izobraževati. Naše okolje (domače in delovno) nam ponuja veliko izobraževalnih možnosti, le izkoristiti jih moramo. Če se izobražujemo samostojno, sta tempo in tema prilagojena učitelju. Lahko se poslužujemo seminarjev, ki so na voljo, ali pa vključujemo v projekte, ki jih razpišejo izobraževalni zavodi in ministrstvo. V okviru diplomske naloge sem poiskala, kateri seminarji in projekti so se izvajali v slovenskem izobraževalnem prostoru, in smo se jih učitelji lahko udeležili. Na spletu imamo veliko aplikacij in programov, ki se nam ponujajo v uporabo pri pouku. Izbrala sem nekaj programov, ki so za delo v razredu najbolj zanimivi. Opisala sem delo učitelja s programi in s primeri podala njihovo uporabo pri pouku tehnike in tehnologije v osnovni šoli. Nekaj programov tudi sama redno uporabljam pri pouku. Pri danih primerih sem ugotovila, da je delo v razredu z mobilnimi napravami pestro, učenci pa so aktivni pri iskanju rešitev za dane naloge. Predvidela sem, katere aplikacije so takšne, da z njimi samostojno ustvarjajo tudi učenci. Tako lahko zagotovimo, da so v učni uri vsi prisotni aktivni. Učitelj pa mora razmisliti, koliko, kdaj in kje bo omogočil učencem delo z mobilnimi napravami, saj je primarna učiteljeva skrb osvojitev učnih ciljev in standardov znanja.Information and communication technology is increasingly integrated in many aspects of our daily lives. Our students are growing up with it and they are quickly becoming more comfortable with it. ICT tools are very popular among students, therefore teachers must be prepared for such challenges. The pace of development dictates us, teachers, that we need to educate ourselves. Our environment (home and work) offers us a lot of educational opportunities, so we have to take advantage of them. If we study independently, the tempo and the theme are adapted to the teacher. But we can participate in seminars which are available, or we can participate in projects published by educational institutions and the ministry. Within my diploma research, I wanted to know what seminars and projects had been organized in the Slovenian educational area, and if the teachers could attend them. There are many ICT tools and applications that can be effectively used in the classroom. I chose some of them that are the most interesting for schoolwork. I described the teacher\u27s work with the new tools focused on how to improve learning. I gave some examples of their use in teaching Technics and technology in primary school. I also use some of them in my classroom. In my examples, I found out that working with mobiles in the classroom is very interesting for pupils. They are active in finding solutions to given tasks. I predicted which aplications are such that inspire students to be innovative and creative. I noticed that all the pupils in the classroom were active. But the teacher has to decide how, when and where the students will be allowed to work with mobile phones in the classroom because the basic teacher\u27s concern is still to achieve learning objectives and standards
