Assessment1 Task 3

My investigation into the capabilities and benefits of images regarding ICT, has returned the following results:

Technical Aspects

What can this technology do?

· Allows the teacher to show images of photographs, text, charts, tables, graphs and diagrams in places like a web page or an electronic white board.

· Allows students to add said images to their own work.

What do the settings allow?

· The image can be titled, resized, cropped, edited or have a description added.

Authorship – single/multi

· Can be multi authored for group work.

Privacy settings

· Privacy would depend on where the image is used.

Customization

· Images can have sound added such as a narrative.

Technical considerations – file size, platforms, and upload-ability

· Jpeg images have compatibility issues.

Ease of use/experience

· Not difficult for those with experience creating, finding and moving files between locations in a computer.

What learning outcomes does image technology support in my classroom?

Materials

· Photographs, text, charts, tables, graphs and diagrams.

Activities

· Visual aid for the explanation of the different types of graphs.

· Digitizing hand written solutions to mathematics problems.

Outcomes

· Students can visualize the shape of graphs such as y=mx+c. Helping students understand the equation.

· Students can take a picture of hand written work or add images for assessment or to send through the internet to others.

Examples of how this technology might be used in your classroom at each level of the SAMR model.

Copy images (Substitution)

· By converting an image to a file on a computer the school will use less paper.

Edit images (Augmentation)

· Images can be resized, edited for more flexible in use.

Professional looking tables, graphs and charts. (Modification)

· Graphs and charts created on computer are more accurate and appealing.

Collaboration on tasks where hand written work and images are used. (Redefinition)

· Facilitates the sharing of hand written work and images. This cannot be done by a phone call.
