ICT in my Teaching

ICT in my Teaching

Using of ICT in teaching not only enhances our teaching learning but also helps children to understand the concept better. I am lucky that we have ICT facilities available in my school. Children from classes’ four to ten in our school learn ICT lesson one period in a week. Children get excited when they see their ICT period because they get the opportunity to explore many things in the computer.

During watching video

On 19th August, I introduced my lesson on the topic how to find area with composite shape. It was really hardened for me to make my children perceive the lesson. It took me three periods to complete the lesson. Still then, many children could not interpret the problems clearly. So to assist or solution to my lesson, children were asked to watch a short video on composite shapes thinking that it would support children to assimilate better. It was just ten minutes video on how to work out with the Area and perimeter. In the course of watching video, I’ve noticed that all the students were giving more attention to the video than in the class. 

 After that I gave some problems to solve on the topic and found that 90% of my children could work out more comfortably and able to comprehend the teaching easily. I would henceforth try to make use of ICT in teaching. Above attached is the video that shown to my children.

Thank you.

ICT in Teaching Learning.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is important in primary education because it enables kids to search for the information they need and to organize what they have found. With the introduction of ICT in education, classroom learning is one attribute that makes learning experiential and experimental to students. Students can listen to the instructor or teacher, receive visual cues through PowerPoint images, handouts or whiteboard lists and participate actively. This helps in immediate interaction and students have opportunities to ask questions and participate in live discussions. The use of ICT in education adds value to teaching and learning, by enhancing the effectiveness of learning. It added a dimension to learning that was not previously available. After the inception of ICT in schools, students found enhancing environment more stimulating and engaging than in a traditional classroom environment.

My usage of ICT in this month in my classroom Teaching.

In the second term I couldn’t use much of ICT in classroom as it was the beginning of the session. I have used ICT in making result analysis for my midterm examination. It is very convenient and easy to prepare compared to making in hard copy. It also saves time. And regarding my lesson in the class, I just could start the “Getting started” part in my math subject. The topic was on Measurement and as I went through this “getting started” and the “exploration” part for perimeter and the area, I could not convenience the clear concept to my children. So the next day, I took my children in the IT room and let them watch a short movie on area and perimeter to help them understand the full concept on perimeter and area. I found my children have really shown their interest in watching the video since it was the first time they were doing. The active concentration was found during course of watching video. The class was found to be interested by using of ICT lesson.  The revision of the topic was done effectively. Just because of the change in strategy and incorporated ICT, the children have really studied well. The class was with full of fun and excitement. Children really enjoyed the class during that video, I could find my children were feeling interested and learn a lot through that. The next day when I gave some questions on perimeter and the area to solve, I found it was very easy for them to solve it easily. Even for some of the weaker children could explain it very well. So I want to continue the same using the ICT to support my teaching henceforth la.
