Reflection no.5

On 9^th November, I taught a lesson on ‘Alphabet Sound of d’ to class PP student using ICT facilities like laptop, projector and internet. To introduce the lesson, I have used my laptop and projector to show them short video clip on letter sound of d. Before watching the video I provided them, clear instructions what they should do and shouldn’t do. I noticed each and every individual paying full attention and they were able to tell the letter sound and words related to letter ‘d’ after they watched the video.

 

After that I demonstrated to provide additional information on the letter sound of d. 

During the activity I instructed them to take out their work book and let them turn to page no.28 and complete the task. I corrected their task on the spot and provided necessary feedbacks

Finally, we discussed more words with related to letter sound 'd' and I am really satisfied as all the students could come up with new words from letter d.

 

 

Reflection 4 on ICT integration                                                               Date: 04/11/2021

The use of ICT is important in 21^st century.  The ICT in school can be used as a school communication tool to improve student learning and better teaching techniques. The use of ICT adds value to teaching and learning by enhancing the effectiveness of learning, because ICT provide an array of powerful tools that may help in transforming the present isolated, teacher-centered and text bound classroom into rich, student-focused, interactive knowledge environment. Unlike before, due to the advance in technologies there is a vast change in educational system moreover it helps not only in finding information but also in organizing information and making it easier to share with others.

Today’s lesson was on preposition –in, on, and under for class PP. I began the lesson by showing the video on preposition using projector. In case of learning by watching video was very progressive, I also understood that students learn best in collaboration with peers, teachers, parents and others when they are actively engaged in meaningful and interesting tasks. ICT provides opportunities for teacher and students to collaborate with others across the globe. It also provide new tool to support this collaborative learning in the classroom.

Here are some short video clips:

After watching the video I showed them a pen and asked question by keeping the pen at different places to provide more information. I found out that all most all the students could answers my questions. From that I could say ICT provide powerful new tools to support children’s’ learning. While reading about learning is facilitated by breaking content/instruction into small isolated units, it says the technology of mass education is quite adapted at breaking the knowledge and skills into thousand of little standardized, decontextualized pieces, which could be taught and tested one at a time.

As an activity I asked them to take out their work book and instructed them to take out their work book and turn to page no.30 and instructed them to write. All the students actively participated and finished the activity within the speculated time.

 

It says that integrating ITC allows the students to learn through interaction, construct knowledge, and share the knowledge- building experiences. So, ICT provide powerful new tools to support cognitive development.
