5. 1st ICT Reflection for the Month of
October (2019)
On 3rd October during 3rd period,
I taught class VI subject Social Studies on the topic Lord Buddha. Students
were supposed to learn about the people who made difference in the world. The
first people to be studied were about the Gautama Buddha. The information given
in the Social Studies text book was very brief. The text book demands students
to read the “The light of my Life” about Lord Buddha. I tried to explore the
book in the School Library and I could manage to get only two copies. Therefore,
I thought of taking help of ICT to fulfill the lesson objectives.
The mini speaker belongs to one of my friend and I
borrowed from her. I took the book and started to record the story reading the
book in my mobile phone. I made sure that the voice of narration is clear
enough and slow enough so that students can understand.
I made use of a portable speaker which has the
option of connecting through Bluetooth. I tried to connect my phone with the
speaker through Bluetooth and it functioned well. The speaker also has an option
of increasing its volume up to our desire and it was found that it’s very
audible in the classroom. As plan "B" I have also taken laptop if the phone do not work.
I gave the clear instructions to the students and I
also briefed about why I am using mini speaker and phone. How are they going to
learn the story about the Lord Buddha? And what are they supposed to do after
hearing the story about Lord Buddha.
The narration was about 20 minutes. I kept the mini
speaker on the table and connected the narration from my mobile phone through
Bluetooth. I made the students to listen silently.
Once the narration was over, I made them to answer
all the questions about Lord Buddha in the next class individually. Although
there was no book called The Light of my Life about Lord Buddha, students could
answer all the questions.
The integration of ICT is found to be so useful in
such kind of situation. The integration of such ICT facilities substituted the
book and helps the teacher and the students learn and fulfill the lesson
objectives. I have realized that a resourceful teacher can be innovative and
use available ICT facilities in and around the classroom. I did not take much
time to prepare the narration and neither it was expensive.
The draw backs of integrating ICT in this lesson
were only that the narration was bit longer because I narrated the whole
book. Because of this ICT integration,
children could learn the whole story about Lord Buddha despite of shortage of
required book in the school. This idea was even appreciated by my colleagues
and wanted to adapt in the classroom as well.
I am really satisfied of integrating ICT in this
lesson because I could achieve my lesson objectives without any problem. Henceforth I am planning to use other tools which can help our children. I also encourage my colleagues to use ICT in their lesson and some of the friends implemented in the classroom and found so useful. I too acknowledged my colleagues for using ICT.

Yes actually you are right that such simple ICT tools can be a handy for teachers to replace text where not available and it can also do many other things which we alone cannot. I guess it was a wonderful classroom teaching.

I feel if you can provide a platform for children to explore themselves practically it would be much beneficial to our learners. Just my feelings la.

ReplyDeleteIt would be better if you could have let your students use such ICT tools in the process of teaching and learning.
Nevertheless, its just mind blowing lesson and teaching sir.
