Good teaching practice now dictates that ICT resources be used effectively to promote
students skills of enquiry and research.
In fact, although teachers now use ICT more regularly, Inspectors noticed that many students
still have insufficient access to ICT to support their education across all subjects.
Inspectors found that more understanding of today s learners is needed so that schools can
make better links with technology.
It clearly achieves the aim of developing skills necessary for students to use ICT in a
responsible and discerning manner.
Inspectors observed ICT used imaginatively to discuss and debate issues around a set text
Efforts need to be enhanced to integrate ICT as a learning tool across the programmes of
study.
This can be achieved by training more teachers to be confident with technology in order to
use it in creative ways.

More teaching and less learning

In Uptown, the school started with recording and videoing to show them their improvement through
the years so we are celebrating their successes together.
The power point was a good resource to show their own projects (stories and conversations).
Then some students they felt that power point is less than their ambitions so they searched for more
programs to celebrate their learning same like: Go animation, Scratch and powtoon they were creating
their own dialogues with animation it was really a good start towards the quick development in our
life.
Example 1: story to tell for the KG1 and KG2 from Grade 9 2013-2014.
Example 2: Writing assay from imagination so here they started to use Photoshop (A trip to
Canada). 2013-2014
Example 3: Go Animation dialogue from two students in Grade 10.2014-2015
Example 4: Teacher example on Scratch a dialogue for Grade 7. 2014-2013.
Pages: It is an app that supports typing and photos. It is very easy for students to use. They
are able to do their tasks via this app and email it directly to me. Mostly used for end of units
projects.
As I have 25 students in grade 5, I ask them to record three readings for the taught text and
email me the best recorded reading.
I upload the department weekly curriculum and homework for all grades (EY1 UP TO G5) on
Arabic B homepage using the Google features. All parents and students have access to it and
some of my students download the homework page on their device to answer it and email it
back to me. This is more fun for students and most important is eco friendly.
I have folders on my computer with their names to keep track of their work.
