Integrating of ICT in my teaching for the month of September, 2020.

Topic: The Lion and the Mouse.

Class III.

On 15^th August, 2020 I taught class III English on the topic “Lion and the Mouse”. To teach the lesson, we the teachers went in groups to the villages along the SIM distribution and correction. I went to four villages in turn wise where the children come from. I printed their SIM and then distributed to them followed by teaching in the villages.

This time my topic was on the “Lion and the Mouse”. First, I greeted them and asked them how they are. Then I introduced my topic by talking about the animals and how the animals help each other. After that I told them that we will learn about lion and the mouse. Before I start my lesson, I showed them a short video clip from the Google search and told them to watch carefully saying that I will ask questions at the end. This was the video:

With this video, I told them to open their SIM and we read the story together. In the activity part, besides what was given in the text I asked them to do Google search other similar videos by themselves at home. They were asked to use their parents mobile to look for the Google search. Then I instructed the children to write the answers and submit in the We chat forum. After instruction I also did good monitoring and helped to needy ones in operating technical facilities. During the course of the activity children didn’t face much problem in using the tool as they were well acquainted with the Google search in the smart phone at home. All my children tried their best to use the facilities and result was awesome as all the children were able to complete the task on time with good quality.

By and by, I also taught grammar on the topic preposition and syllable through we chat. I sent a short video clip to give an example each and then gave questions which children were supposed to send through we chat.

Today, with the invent of ICT development and the usage of smart phones our children are able to use some basic ICT tools correctly like Google search and YouTube. Yet, we as a teacher must educate the children on the pros and cons of using ICT as well. We can make the ICT tool user friendly with our proper guidance and instruction as Google search has many advantages such as time saving, accurate information, paper less tool, collaboration learning, and engagement etc. in my next attempt I would like to try and use other tool such as You Tube in my ICT integration lesson.

           

     Lastly, I would like to submit that due to desuung duty during lock down, I couldn't get enough time to teach for this month. So, I was almost engaged for 24 hours duty at Bjeezam check post. Therefore, I have tried my best to use ICT in my teaching using smart phones. This was also done by first managing to visit the villages and then collecting the children's work through we chat. Ours is both SIM and ICT integration although we have not enough facilities and implementation this time but I commit to implement more in my future lessons.
