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.

Bomey..ICT helps us a lot and in some cases educationalist have mentioned that use of ICT takes lot of time in preparation.
ReplyDeleteGood that you have used video for teaching the concept of perimeter and area.
ReplyDeleteBut I am little skeptic that, all the children may not understand the explanation given in the video since the narrator would use little different accent unlike us.
So, how about showing your own explanation through video.
Now I can see that with the use of ICT you are making your lesson interesting for children to learn.During our time we found mathematics very hard and boring.Good work keep it up.
ReplyDeleteGood description on ICT integration in your school. You can continue this practices in future too. ICT will bring lots of changes and it is also challenging to achieve our goals and objectives.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear that you have used the concept of perimeter with ICT and i am sure it has a greater impact to the students. I hope now I will also use this idea to teach the concept of perimeter as you wished la. Thanks for sharing your idea.
ReplyDeleteWow Kelzang! I am amazed to see you using ICT in maths. I can never think of using ICT in maths myself. Thanks for sharing your idea on ICT usage with Maths subject.
ReplyDeleteIt was really interesting to know that teaching using ICT creates a conducive learning environment.
ReplyDeleteThe way you taught your children using the ict in mathematices is excellent. I also got idea while going through your experiences. Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteGood usage of ICT facilities to enhance your teaching and motivating chilldren in learning.
ReplyDeleteYou have used ICT to teach the concept of perimeter and area. I too believed that when we cannot give clear concept it is always better to use ICT. We can find numerous solutions to the problems. It really supports our teaching. Keep going la.
ReplyDeleteyou can continue with the same spirit as we know the benefits of using ict in our classes.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to know that teaching using ICT creates a conducive learning environment and you have proven it madam.
ReplyDeleteKeep advancing for all times in the field of teaching and learning.
