Third Reflection

One new way and the most predominant latest ICT application is LCD projector.
The LCD projector offers ways of reaching students in different ways. It allows the teacher to interact with students better, to use a different form of teaching and to provide more entertaining ways to teach and get the lesson objectives and facts across.

Thus, on 6^th September, 2019 I have employed projector in my lesson to teach about “Types of Settlements” in Class VI Social Studies. It has helped the communication by expanding the image of the computer screen to be large enough for a room full of students to see. It also enabled teachers to create bulleted PowerPoint presentations or other highly organized notes for the class. With the use of projectors in the classroom, my students could take better notes with the ability to discern what information I have displayed are most useful to them.

With the advent of projector in the classroom, teachers can do away with the use of chalk and chalkboard unlike in the past.  Rather than writing notes across a board, teachers can make use of PowerPoint presentations and images as teaching tools through the use of projectors.

Consequently, teachers and students alike find projectors to be useful classroom devices. Additionally, my students could ask me to repeat a slide on the missed information. So, with this approach I felt that this is the most powerful teaching tool. By using projectors, teachers can more easily prepare all notes prior to class for easy presentation. We also spend less time repeating or rewriting information that is now accessible with a simple click.

Thus, using LCD projector provides educators to reach students with multiple approaches. I am happy to observe that my students enjoyed seeing, hearing and interacting with technology rather than simply reading a textbook for listening to a lecture. They could participate in real-time and interactive activities.

So, LCD Projector has played pivotal role in delivering the lesson content through images and on the other hands it helped to save time for both teacher and students. I deeply realized that such application is transformational tool which, when used appropriately, can promote the shift to a learner-centered environment.
