Sodobna tehnologija dandanes učiteljem omogoča pestro obogatitev učne ure. A bolj kot vprašanje, katera IKT-sredstva uporabiti, je pomembno vprašanje, na kakšen način jih uporabiti, kdaj jih uporabiti itd. Poleg zmogljive strojne opreme imamo tudi precej širok nabor programske opreme, ki nam omogoča pripravo kvalitetnih
e-gradiv, ki se iz leta v leto vedno bolj uveljavljajo v slovenskem šolskem prostoru. Uporaba vse te sodobne tehnologije pri načrtovanju učne ure in pri samem učnem procesu pa še zdaleč ni zagotovilo oziroma merilo naše uspešnosti pri doseganju učnih ciljev. Ob poplavi najrazličnejših e-gradiv je namreč pomemben tudi izbor in primernost posameznih gradiv; nekateri učitelji se tako še vedno odločajo za pripravo lastnih. Ob tem pa se nam takoj pojavi vprašanje, katera orodja uporabiti, da bo naše delo učinkovito, gradiva pa bodo dosegla svoj namen.
V članku je na primeru prikazana uporaba mini prenosnika, ki je lahko odličen učni pripomoček pri obravnavanju teoretičnih vsebin pri pouku tehnike in tehnologije v 7. in 8. razredu OŠ. Opisan je tudi primer izdelave e-gradiva s pomočjo orodja za izdelavo interaktivnih vsebin in vključitev le-teh v spletno učilnico.

Ključne besede: mini prenosnik, spletna učilnica, diferenciacija, individualizacija.

Abstract

Nowadays modern technology enables teachers to enrich lessons in primary schools. However, it is not only the question of which ICT to use, but also how to put it into practice; moreover, which are the situations that would make most of the chosen ICT, etc. In addition to the efficient hardware, we also have at our disposal a wide variety of software. The fact that the latter enables us to prepare quality e-material is gaining grounds in Slovenian school area in the last couple of years. Nevertheless, implementing modern technology into lesson plans and teaching itself are no guarantee for successfully met teaching goals. That is because it is not only e-material, but, more importantly, the selection and suitability of learning material. That is the reason why some teachers still decide to prepare their own teaching material, which arouses the question of which software to use in order to be effective while at the same time reaching our goal.
This paper discusses the case of using netbook, which can be of great help, at technology class in the 7th and 8th grades. In addition, the use of CourseLab interactive tool is also illustrated. The paper concludes with the findings of those teachers who had already used netbook at their teaching.
