ICT plays a catalytic role in enhancing learning in
classroom and beyond…It enhances scope of education by facilitating mobile
learning and inclusive education. It facilitates research and scholarly
communication. Impact of ICT and its potential for the education field is
manifold.
On 19th of August 2019 in the sixth period I
have taught English in class four for forty minutes. Before the actual session,
students were asked, “How will you find the meaning for difficult words?” They said,
“If we have dictionary we will see there and if not we will ask others if they
know”. Then I said, “Its good idea. Now here after I will teach you how to use
smart phones to find the meanings for difficult words”.
Students were asked to read the poem, ‘”No More
Water”. They read in turn, a stanza each. They underlined the difficult words
for them. Then I have shown them you tube video on how to find meaning using
smart phones.
Then again I demonstrated them step by step on how to
find meanings using smart phone practically. After that they were let to work
in pairs using smart phones.
I have used smart phones, laptop, sound boxes, microphones, YouTube video and projector for this session. Students really enjoyed
the class. They were happy and fully engaged in the lesson.
They were sharing
and enthusiastically engaged in their classroom activity. It was a successful
and progressive learning. They promised that, here after they will use their parents’
cell phones while reading if they don’t know the meanings.
My dear friends (sirs and madams), this is my second post for the first month.Here I have used laptop, sound box, micro phones, projector, you tube video and smart phones to teach meanings for difficult English vocabularies/words of their text book. This is the advancement in my students using ICT facilities in their classroom learning.
ReplyDeleteGoing through your write up, you have used avariety of ict equipment to teach word meaning.keep going
ReplyDeleteThank you so much sir, will keep your words and do.
DeleteWith regards
Sir it seems you have taught your English class incredibly, but as of the education policies, children are not allowed to use or bring smart phones in the school, so in that case, I am in a doubt how it would be possible. If they ust it at home, it is another option.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much madam for your concern. Even its my concern too. But what I did is, I didn't ask them to bring from their house. I have around five phones old, new and kids tabs. I have also borrowed mobiles from my friend then I have shared British dictionary in all the cells and made the arrangements ready before hand.
DeleteThen once I started my class, I demonstrated and gave the cells to the students. Once the class is over and I have finished teaching, I gave back the cells to their respective owners.
In my case its easy and manageable because I have only 12 students in the class. So that's how I have managed madam.
Thank you
Great sir
DeleteSir, it's good to know that children are access to mobile phone . But the cost of data and accessibility of wifi connection from the school click to my mind la. Anyway keep going la.
ReplyDeleteIt's cost less sir. I being English teacher I have many downloaded items to show and teach in English class. If we have one thing in our cell say like dictionary, we can share to other cells and use it. No data or wifi needed sir.
DeleteWhy don't you try this one sir.
Sir it's good to know that you taught the meaning of the words. Our children will have greater and brighter future as they start to use and seek the correct and concrete meaning using ICT. Keep going.
ReplyDeleteGood analysis sir.
DeleteThank you sir...
Good practice..it really works sir.
ReplyDeleteYes sir.
DeleteThank you so much sir.
Dear author
ReplyDeleteYou have integrated all the available resources in teaching. It is a good sign of ict usage as the world is gearing towards 21st era. I gained lots of ideas from your write up. This will definitely bring changes in students' learning. Very informative la. Keep exploring la.
Thank you sir.
DeleteI am trying sir, hats off for your reading and honest comments.
Sir....from write ups it was very innovative ideas to use smart phone as TLM tools in our context. You also gave proper instruction...however in my opinion will all the children have smart phone or not? If not it would be discrimination for some which would demotivate their learning. Other way round...I also thought that if you have assigned the task in group it would be better. It was indeed a nice lesson!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your honest suggestions through students point of view.
DeleteFor details, please see up the comment I have written in madam Gyem Bidha's post.
Have a great time.
Smart phone is widely use in our day to day teaching learning in classroom as means of ict tools. It movitates students to applied what they have learnt at home. Alternately our lesson become easier with wonderful learning. So keep it up!

Great sir. You have used many gadgets meaningfully. Your children might have understood that the mobile phones are not only meant for playing games.
ReplyDeleteExactly madam.
DeleteI don't encourage students to play games in cells. Even I don't allow my kids to play too much. Playing sometime is inline with time and technology.
Thanks

ReplyDeleteOkay madam, will do definitely.

Teaching Poem with the help of ICT is one of the most interesting things I have come across.
ReplyDeleteI have also tried it a few times and children really understand.
The Google explains it so nicely that it doesn't live anything unexplained.
If it was just us teaching in the classes it would have not much of impact that the ICT teaching does.
Keep up sir.
Yes you are correct author. I am sorry to say author, because I don't know who you are.
DeleteThank you for your time and reading.
Its good to know that you used ICT to teach poem but i doubt in using mobile phone in the class as we don't encourage our children to bring mobile phone in the school.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much madam. Its in our hand how we make use of it taking permission from the school administration.

ReplyDeleteNice lesson. Yes ICT helps us a lot
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful approach that you have taken to teach your students. However, I have got little reservation about using smart phones in the school by our students because they aren't allowed to use phones in the school premises by our education policy. So I am doubtful how you could success in using smart phones in the school by our students. In general, I stand by valuable idea to let students use smart phones ...
