Week one: Media, Language and Multiliteracies & Multimedia & Technology

What I think about technologies in the classroom? I think it’s good for the children because they can develop with their time and stay in the move. A lot of pupils, now, have internet and a computer in their home so it’s good for their have some lessons in the primary school for good use the computer and internet and, perhaps, make some exercises on the computer with a teacher. (In Belgium some schools given one lesson of script per week with a ½ pupils ‘group on the computer).

What I think about comics and the graphic novel in the classroom? I think it’s a very good idea because a lot of pupil don’t like read and perhaps with some picture they can develop this passion. But to be sure they children read really this support the teacher ask some question about the text and not the picture because sometimes the text has more detail and the picture has some detail that the text doesn’t said.

What I think about the multimedia in the classroom? It’s good and bad. Why? Good for watch some video on the past history or science or other. Bad because too much of multimedia can make the pupil passive.

In conclusion, it’s good to have technologies and multimedia in the classroom but not too much and work with the comics or graphic novel is better because the child is active and he can like reading after this lesson with this support.
