Group 2A-5: Activity 1: ICT and The Roles of the Educator
The reading is a timely reminder of the many and varied roles that the educator must perform in the daily teaching and learning process. It also helps to show how far short of the mark I have actually fallen. Additionally, it brings to the fore that there are many types of learners with varied learning styles, all of which must be catered for; while at the same time providing a safe, secure, warm and stimulating environment. This is not and will never be an easy task, but for the committed educator it serves as a motivating factor for him/her to find new and innovative ways of reaching the learner.
Through the Activity, as well as the readings, it is obvious that the use of ICTs in the classroom, will greatly assist the educator in playing all the various roles and also provide the kind of impetus to motivate and propel the learner to achieve his/her full potential. Consequently, this is likely to result in success for the educator as well as the learner.
Finally, I was able to see that in carrying out these seven or more roles, there is an inextricable link between the school and communities in which they exist and that ICT can be used to forge stronger links with parents, students and other stakeholders in the community.
