Currently, I am very familiar with windows operated computers and
software but my students will only have access to mac computers that run apple
operating systems. I will first need to
familiarize myself with the mac operating system and software before I ask my
students to learn how to use these computers.
I will also need to apply what the students are learning into the
software I will choose for them to learn about.
I will choose a software processor that is used widely across the world,
in different businesses and subjects across the curriculum
.
Learning this
information will not be easy, I will need to make appointments with Apple to
take sessions on using the software tips and tricks. I will also ask the school’s Information
Technician about using the mac computers and the software installed on the
computers to broaden my options of what I want my students to learn. I will modify my action plan based on the
technology I would like to implement where my students can learn useful
technology that can be used outside the classroom. I have learned that many processing files can
be made on windows can be opened on a mac computer using mac processing
software. I have also learned that using
familiar windows interfaces will make things easier to learn the new
software.
The use of the new
software and technology to students who may not be familiar with it could need
more time to finish the work required of them during the learning
activity. How much more time will I need
to allow?
