Digital Documents

After learning about digital documents it sounds so simple that a digital document is any document that is created on a computer or digitally. Whether its a simple word doc or an advanced pdf file, I see a large scope for the use and teaching of digital documents in schools. Teacher programs, school newsletters, announcements, letters, reports combined with activities like publishing work and making class books are just some examples of how digital documents are and can be used in the school context.

ICT in the classroom

I was thinking about the amount I am using ICT in the classroom and its sad to say that it is not much at all. I use it for comprehension activities in reading groups and for activities relating to mathematics games but not for things relating to art and science. When and for what reasons have you been using ICT in the classroom? I know its hard because we are only casual teaching but its interesting to see what work left for casuals involves the use of technology?
