Blog-Reflection 2
PowerPoint is an effective tool to present material in the classroom and
encourage student learning. PowerPoint can
be used to project visuals which would otherwise be difficult to bring to the
class.
Consequently, on 19th August, 2019 I taught a lesson on ‘Main courses of
river’ in class VIII Geography using PowerPoint, since PowerPoint,
when effectively planned
and used, can enhance instructions.
Employing the
PowerPoint, I have presented
information by using text, images, diagrams with animations and transitional
effects etc. in slides that helps to explain the topic or idea in front of
audience easily and practically.
In the course of my lesson I have realized
that, this very ICT application tool makes the presentation more
interesting which perhaps aid
to improve the audience's focus. Additionally, PowerPoint enables a teacher to design the lesson associated
with images, audio and video to have a greater visual impact. The visual
and audio cues also help a presenter be more improvisational and interactive
with the audience. At the same time, PowerPoint presentation saves a time
considerably.
Furthermore, it was noticeable that children
were profoundly motivated and curious towards learning with the integration of
such ICT application. Perhaps, it was remarkable to observe children being
fully engaged in the assigned tasks unlike normal teachings in the class. Using
transactional effects, audio, video, images and animation in the PowerPoint
seems to have provided the clear and concise concept especially for the
abstract ideas. The employment of this application in fact, made the lesson so
interactive where it drew many children to argue and discuss thoroughly on the
assigned tasks. Accordingly, I have realized that this PowerPoint application
is a strong transformational tool which, when used appropriately, can promote
the shift to a learner-centered environment.
Thus, I hereby suggest my colleagues to apply
this approach of teaching for effective and enriching lesson which would equip
children with intended skills and concept of ideas.
