Placement 1- week 1

My first placement was at St. John the Baptist. I was in Grade 6. My first week there was quite interesting and fun. I begain by teaching mathematics (I was lucky because this is my teachable). During the first week, I immediately noticed that every morning for Language Centres, there is always some students that do work on a computer. This gave the students an opportunity to look up terms they were unsure about. When students were finished their work, they were able to go onto a computer to browse or play games. Students loved to play on the computers. In fact, one child even had their own lap top that he was allowed to bring to school and use when needed and allowed.
As for technology for the staff, there were plenty of computers in the library and printers that could be used. There was easy access to everything as well. What I did notice was the number of internet sites that were blocked. The only one that I wish was not blocked was utube, but it makes sense why it would be. Overall, I think this first allowed me to see the availability of technology the students and staff have.
