Dernière journée TICE

Et voilà, nous venons de terminer la troisième et dernière journée TICE de l’année. Je dois avouer que j’ai été agréablement surpris par les contenus de la formation : enfin du concret avec les ordinateurs. Bon je l’avoue, j’ai survolé certains contenus comme la création d’une page HTML mais d’autres ont sérieusement piqué ma curiosité. Les webquests, par exemple, me semblent être un très bon moyen d’insérer les nouvelles technologies dans le cours d’anglais : recherches sur Internet, sélection des informations pertinentes, création d’un panneau pour afficher en classe, compte-rendu oral. Tout se tient. L’essentiel est de bien détailler chaque étape : le professeur doit s’effacer et constater les progrès autonomes de l’élève. Cela me parle bien ce genre d’activité.

Le formateur – tuteur de Ben au demeurant – touche sa bille. Sérieusement, on voit qu’il aime cela et qu’il sait de quoi il parle, ce qui est toujours agréable. Par contre, j’émets quand même quelques réserves sur l’intérêt de tenter d’apprendre à la majeure partie du groupe le langage HTML et les CSS. Cela m’a semblé un peu overkill : bien sûr que cela serait génial si tout le monde pouvait coder ses pages à la main, même les CSS mais sérieusement, combien le feront ? J’ai eu l’impression que l’on dépassait largement le cadre des TICE en cours d’anglais pour s’approcher du côté obscur du code.
