 * Examples of using ICT in the class:**
 * I used a Prezi (prezi.com) to teach students about SWAT Codes for film analysis in year 10 English - it had youtube videos embedded to demonstrate different SWAT codes
 * I used a Prezi to teach year 7s about poetic devices / figurative language. It also had youtube videos of songs embedded to demonstrate different figurative language in popular songs
 * Year 7s recorded their own finger puppet play on Sparta and Athens (2min video) - showed to the rest of the class who then took notes
 * Use of OneNote for students to take notes down on

 * S: substitution i.e. whiteboard for blackboard; smart board for whiteboard. Technology is used as a direct substitution with no functional improvement.**
 * A: Augmentation. Technology is used as a direct substitution with some functional improvement**
 * M: Modification. Technology allows for significant task design**
 * R: Redefinition. not possible or imaginable without technology - requires us to be completely different in teaching.**
