Reflection- October (2019)
School with sufficient ICT resources
achieved better results than those that are not well-equipped. There is a
significant improvement on learners’ performances. Finally, teachers become
more convinced that educational achievements of pupils are due to good ICT use.
So, I had Geography lesson on
“Natural resources” with the Class VII students on dated 2.10.2019. I managed
smartphones from the teacher colleagues. The children were given hands on
practice to use Google in searching useful educational information. The phones
were distributed in each group. The students were directed towards the use of
smartphones in viewing the types of natural resources. Children were asked to
access the information about natural resources. After having accessed the
information on the topic, they were given to discuss in the group and share to
the whole class.
In the second activity, they were
asked to explore the differences between ‘renewable and non-renewable
resources.’ Within a short period of time, children have accessed the required
information and asked few groups to read and share to the whole class. It made
the lesson more fun and lively. This is one ICT application to teach difficult
concept effectively. I found this application is handy and very educational
since, they can explore the educational information as directed.
Thus,
smartphones for
students helped them considerably to prepare for the lesson by enhancing their
learning process. Smartphones are
not only useful for students but are also very useful for teachers. They can easily
access the information just by a click. The concept on the type of natural
resources are not explained in the book. Through the use of smartphones
children could get the idea of topic as shown below.
Use
of varied ICT application like smartphones have made learning easy as children
can search helpful content than going through pages of book.
One
minor drawback was, children had some challenges in selecting the best and
suitable information related to the topic. However, rest of the lesson went
smoothly as planned.
To have more information and evidences you have used your smartphone to impart both skills and concept of lesson. The task that you did was relevant to your topic and it's one way of motivating your future leaders.
ReplyDeleteIt was clear that your lesson was very effective from your write up.. your staff were so generous to handover their phones and let you use their data. Smartphones were can do anything as you stated above only if we use it in proper way. Great work

Great work sir...
School norms contradict with mobile usage in the school campus. Children should be allowed to use smartphones at least during classroom teachings. We can do a lot with phones. We know that most of the school do not have ict lab and net facilities. In such situation phones play a vital role. So this opportunity should be providef to our young learners to bring wonders to both teaching and learning.Keep exploring la.
