ICT was used routinely although access to computers could not be guaranteed. On-line material and Excel were used. The problems were:-
- No guarantee that I would be using the same computers each week.
- Time was wasted directing students to appropriate sites.
- Class (16-18 students) straggled in and directing them to the appropriate site was a slow, repetitive process.
- Bookmarking sites or saving on the desktop was not an option.
- The instructions to find the exact place in LTS Numeracy material or BBC Skillwise can be complex.
- Students had a tendency to explore other areas of the web when I was distracted.
- Students did not use the on-line material outside of class time.
Conclusion
An unacceptably high percentage of class time was being wasted on the sheer mechanics of using the ICT.
