6. Reflection on use of ICT in classroom (2^nd post  in the month of October)

SUBJECT; English V

Topic; Friendly letter

Learning materials; laptop

  

On 18^th October, I taught English in class five about “Friendly letter.” I began the lesson by revising the yesterday lesson and asking questions to connect the today’s lesson.

After the introduction of the lesson I directly switch onto the activity, first I divided the class into four groups of six members each as laptop is limited. I have set up the class with laptop for each group. The laptops were opened and Wi-Fi facility is connected to each of the laptop. I have instructed them not to touch the laptop until I told them to do so. Then I have displayed the activity direction and instruction to go about with the internet. The students had done wonderful task after following the instruction. 

The works done by students using ICT brought a great impact to them and easier for teacher to teach.

The lesson was very successful and significant as students were learned openly using technology. Children learn better in by using the ICT tools in than normal classroom teaching. I also found that learning by hands on experience makes them learn better

Therefore, I conclude that 21^st children are much better in exploring ICT themselves. And teacher needs to prepare ICT application lesson to them.

5. 1st reflection in the month of October

Use of ICT in classroom

SUBJECT; English V

Topic; let’s advertisement

Materials; Laptops

   

On 3th October, I taught English in class five about “Let’s Advertisement.” For this lesson, I have integrated ICT as a means of teaching and learning. To present the lesson I have used laptops.

First I have a reading activity with the students to get the meaning of the advertisement. To do the activity I have instructed all the dos and don’ts while doing the task. After they have thoroughly reading the assigned work, the volunteer students shared the meaning of the advertisement. I took around 10 minutes to complete the task.

For the second activity, I have divided the class into four groups having six members each as laptop is limited. The students were really excited when I placed laptop on each group. Then I have displayed the activity direction and instruction to go about with the laptop. The students did the task following the instruction. They were happy to learn the lesson through use of laptop.

I found that students were very first to browse the internet. When I went around for helping, one of the groups has already done their task. Through this activity I learnt that some children are expert in accessing the internet faster than teacher.

The lesson was very fruitful and meaningful as students were learned explicitly through technology. Children do better in by using the ICT tools in the normal classroom teaching. I also noticed learning by hands on experience makes them learn better. It diverges the wide range of learning in depth with ICT tool.
