  “Representing Numbers Greater than 100”. This time, actually once I thought I would download the video tutorial and let the children watch in groups in the laptop in the class but with the large number of children I found it little time consuming in the interest of time therefore I again took the children in the IT lab and projected the lesson. Firstly, I introduced the lesson by revising the numbers beyond 100. Then children were divided into six groups of six members each and made them do the activity after the video lesson.

After watching the video, we had discussion about the video clip for sometimes. Next I provided them with A4 sized paper consisting 3-digit numbers and base ten blocks. Here they were asked to represent the number with base ten blocks in pairs. Children followed the instructions and participated fully in their activity.

As a follow up of the activity, they  one member explained about the representation of the numbers. All the students did a wonderful job in their group work as well as in explanations. I concluded my lesson by showing a number cards and letting few children to represent the number with base ten blocks.

The use of technology has definitely provided room for students to explore, being creative, critical thinker and helped to enhance their learning. The ICT integrated lesson planning is purely a child centered approach where teacher should be a mere facilitator and a guide.

Moreover, children learnt better when we have ICT integration lesson.  It proved to be very enriching and insightful which lead the class to be interactive and encourage students to express freely thereby promoting thinking skills

First post for September,2019

First ICT Reflection for the month of September

The lesson was taught on 9^th September, 2019 in class II section A. To teach the topic “Recording 2-digit Addition", I used the video tutorial from the Utube.

 This time, I felt very contented and satisfied with the lesson as I could see my children enjoying throughout the lesson. They were very active and interactive after watching the video tutorial.

In my lesson, I had an activity which I wanted them to do as homework but  as there was time, my students wanted me to give it as class work which indicated that they got the clear concept from the video tutorial. So, I gave them to do the activity in the class and was surprised to see that within five minutes everybody could complete the activity and all the students’ answers were correct. Their performance truly proved that our students are not that poor and can perform up to teachers’ expectation, we the teachers only need to have variations in teaching strategy.

In the closure part, I let them do the activity in their groups (i.e number heads together). I saw eagerness in children’s behaviors to do the activity. Children followed the instructions and participated fully to share their own ideas. Yes, all the groups did a wonderful job by writing correct answers. I could see my children happy and enjoying the activity. This clearly shows that how much our children love to learn ICT lesson.

ICT proved to be very enriching and insightful which lead the class to be interactive and encourage students to express freely thereby promoting thinking skills. Children became more energetic and participated well and learnt better when there is variety in lesson.
