Second post for October month

Second ICT Reflection for the month of October.

This time I did not have lesson as such but on 25th October, 2019 I took my class II section A students to the IT lab during 3^rd period during .This time I could do what I wanted to do in my last blogging but it was not possible because there was no light the day when I wanted to so I just had to switched it but this time I made up to it. I asked the help of my IT instructor to make all the computers ready so that all my children gets an opportunity to at least fiddle the mouse. So this time I gave all the students the hands on practice to use the computers and open the Google page and watch their favorite program.

 So in this class I put the children in three for one computer and put at least one student who already has some ideas to use the computers and later he or she could help his/her partners. And once I could set them I gave the clear instruction on how to go about for that class.

During the activity, I saw that children were very excited to Google and were trying themselves to find out the programs that the liked the most. They were also seen helping their friends to use the

computers. All the children really seemed very much excited because this was something new that they got to do in the school I was called here and there to help them and I did so and so did the IT teacher. I could say that this is all because of the ICT lesson. It caters to the need of every individual and motivates in learning new things.

In the closure part, I asked the children if they enjoyed and asked few of them to share their experiences on how they felt to get an opportunity to touch the computers on their own.Children followed the instructions and participated fully to share their own ideas. I could see my children happy and enjoying the lesson. 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.

First ICT Reflection for the month of October

This time I did something different from what I did in my previous few reflections. I am thinking I should have done this before. What I did was I just tried to teach my class II A’s student to learn how to use the computers in the basic level. But to do this I had a video tutorial to show them but unfortunately the power was out of order and I couldn’t wait for tomorrow because I was already getting late . Now I knew what I wanted to teach was not going to happen so I just switched my idea.

I had taught the opposites in English in the morning first period to my class II a’s student. So by the afternoon I thought why not let them teach how to browse Google in the phones and add more and more of opposites in their notes which they could find from the Google.

Now what I did was collected a few phones from my friends and made sure to be in each group of children and get the phone opened and ask if they see an icon Google let them open that first..Then I taught them to type the opposite words in the box and search and they were really surprised and excited to see many more examples there. For most of them it was not new and for few they were doing it for the first time and this is where I felt I and my children achieved something very important and resourceful for my children.

Now as I finished doing with each of the group I asked them if they can do this at home for any of the information that they wanted related to the lesson. They were very positive about it and even the ones who were new to this ideas I asked them to come to me if they needed further help.

As I finished telling them I sent a message to the classroom forum in the we chat where me and my students parents are in group to help their children at home but I also made sure that it should be done under their supervision and also the time should be maintained.

This is how I could put ICT in my lesson for today. It was quite difficult with a very large group of children but was not impossible. Ultimately I felt that my lesson was a success with little

group of children. I tried giving my best.
