Fourth Reflection on use of ict in classroom

Class; III   subject: Mathematic

Topic; Subtracting with Base Ten Blocks

Materials; Laptop

I would like to share, how I taught my class III children using video tutorial made by me for my assignment. I don’t know how good or bad it was still I used in the class to teach. The topic is about,” Subtracting with base ten blocks.” Since there are 14 students in the class, I used the laptop to teach them. 

  

I have arranged students in semi-circle to sit and watch the video. I have introduced the topic. Then I instructed them to watch carefully. I also told about dos and don’ts while going through the video. I informed them to note if it is difficulties to understand the topic. They were excited to watch.

After they finished watching video, I have given two activities to model the number by them. I was surprised to see that all have done well. Moreover they shared about the picture they seen in the video what to do next. However they were really enjoyed the video lesson too.

Lastly, I observed that children of this day learn more by watching motion video than lecturing without any ict tools.

THIRD REFLECTION ; Smart phone used as ict learning materials

SUBJECT; English V

Topic ; The ladybug Garden

On 3^rd September we had a field visit to learn the plants and insects living in the particular garden. To my surprised I learnt that most of the students do not know the names either locally nor English. Even they hadn’t seen most of the insects before. Therefore, out of concern and curiosity, I planned to teach the lesson purely base on names and pictures of the insects. Then on 4^th September, I taught English in class five through pictures and names base on the topic “The Ladybug Garden.”  

Before I go to the class I have used the UC browser to down load the different types of insects and saved it in my phone.  I also down loaded which isn’t in the text book so that students can recognize by them visually. My lesson starts by showing picture one by one from easy to unknown insects.

In the process of learning, in fact students were thrilled and know the names of the insects. Teaching through ICT, students could relate the names and picture clearly and visually.  The lesson was successful and meaningful as students generated the knowledge through information and communication technology out of method I delivered.

Although the lesson was boomed, but I had a tough time to show the pictures in group wise. Therefore, I could not carry out one of the activity. Henceforth I will try to use smart phone more by borrowing from other friends.
