Sixth reflection on integration of ICT in classroom teaching

Date: 22^nd October, 2019 (Tuesday).              

 Class V B                    Period: 1^st                    Class Strength: 30         

  Subject: Mathematics           Topic: Chapter 1 Interpreting Data.     Sub topic: The mean

With the changing learner and learner environment, technology has become part of our daily life. As we become increasingly supported by ICT, teaching and learning will not be the same as before. We will have to make use of the rich and exciting opportunities offered by the new technologies in education to reach our new goal and vision. Therefore, we should integrate ICT in our classroom teaching to enhance learning.

On 22^nd October, 2019 in the 1^st period, I taught Class V mathematics on the topic “The Mean” for duration of forty minutes. Before the lesson, I have set up the Projector and internet facilities   ready in the ICT laboratory in order to deliberate the lesson effectively and successfully.

In the 1^st period, I took the students of class 'V’ B’ to the ICT laboratory for the lesson to be delivered. I began the lesson by revising the previous lesson and making a link to what they were going to learn. Then I gave the instructions on how to go about the activity on exploring and getting the information by browsing the internet. I have prepared three activities; first activity is where children are going to browse the internet and find the information on the concept of Mean and how to find the mean.

Then the second activity is where I will be presenting my information on the concept of mean and how to find the mean of the given set of data showing few examples through using projector and asked children to compare and observe carefully on how to calculate the mean of the given set of data.

Third activity is I have  projected the questions on the screen and asked children to calculate the mean of the given set of data as shown below.

• Calculate the mean of each  set of data.

a)      12, 15, 20, 25       b) 38, 40, 43, 47, 57   c) 12, 16, 22, 28, 35, 37

During the follow up of the activity I made some students to stand up and  read out the information they have gathered from the internet and  read out their written answers to the whole class.  After that I have projected   my answers on the screen and made them to compare and do necessary correction  in their note book. 

In the lesson closure, I have asked questions to check the understanding of the lesson taught and gave few questions from the text book as a home work.

While reflecting on the integration of ICT in the lesson, I find projectors and internet to be very useful classroom devices/tool.  With the integration of ICT in my lesson I have observed that class becomes more interactive by exploring themselves through internet and they could come up with lot of information to share to the whole class. It played an important role in delivering the lesson content through images and saves time and children were able to give more information on the concept taught. It has also made both the learner and teacher to carry out the tasks effectively in enhancing their teaching learning processes.

                   Fifth reflection on integration of ICT in classroom teaching. 

 Date: 9^th October, 2019 (Wednesday).              

 Class V B                    Period: 2^nd                   Class Strength: 30         

  Subject: Mathematics                                                 Topic: Parallel and Intersecting Lines.

Transmission of knowledge from a teacher to the learners won’t take place if a teacher lacks the sound knowledge of teaching students using different approaches and the teacher can’t make any progress in his teaching if he doesn’t reflect back and do analysis on his way of teaching. So in this piece of writing, I would like to reflect on the integration of ICT in classroom teaching.

On 9^th October, 2019, I have planned my lesson for Class V mathematics on the topic “Parallel and Intersecting Lines” with the integration of ICT for a duration of forty minutes.

In the 2^nd period, I took the students of class V’ B’ to the ICT laboratory for the lesson to be delivered. I began the lesson by revising the previous lesson and making a link to what they were going to learn. Then I gave the instructions on how to go about the activity on exploring and getting the information by browsing the internet. First I informed the children to find what is parallel line? Followed by what is an intersecting line? Then asked them to write the information collected from the internet to write in their note book. After that I asked them to find what is perpendicular? Finally asked them to find out in what different ways a perpendicular line segments can intersect? And asked them to write all the information collected in their note book. 

During the follow up of the activity I made some students to stand up and read out the information they have gathered from the internet. In the lesson closure, I have shared my points with them and asked few questions to check the understanding of the lesson taught.

 

While reflecting on the integration of ICT in the lesson, I find the class was very interactive and children were actively participated in the lesson. They were able to come up with lot of information on the concept to be taught as I desired. It has really motivated the children in teaching learning processes. I have found that there is a rise in new learning opportunities beyond the traditional teaching method. It has enable learners to access, extend, transform and share ideas and information in multi-modal communication styles and format. It has helped the learner to share learning resources and spaces, promote learner centered and collaborative learning principles and enhance learning system.

                        Fourth Reflection on ICT integration in classroom teaching

Date: 19^th September, 2019 (Thursday).              

 Class V A                    Period: 1^st                    Class Strength: 31         

  Subject: Mathematics                                    Topic: Classifying Triangles.

With the changing learner and learner environment, technology has become part of our daily life. As we become increasingly supported by ICT, teaching and learning will not be the same as before. We will have to make use of the rich and exciting opportunities offered by the new technologies in education to reach our new goal and vision. Therefore, we should integrate ICT in our classroom teaching to enhance learning.

On 19^th September, 2019 in the 1^st period, I taught Class V mathematics on the topic “Classifying triangles” for duration of forty minutes. Before the lesson, I have set up the Projector ready in order to deliberate the lesson effectively and successfully. I introduce the lesson by asking questions and making a link to what they were going to learn. In the lesson development, using the ‘projector’ I have explained three types of triangles by the number of congruent sides and angles using a sketch of example.

I have prepared two activities, first activity is where children are going to measure the side lengths of the given/provided triangles and then classify. Then the second activity is where children are asked to complete the chart as shown below:

	Equilateral triangle	Isosceles triangle	Scalene triangle
Number of congruent sides
Number of congruent angles
Number of lines of symmetry

 

During follow up of the activity I made some students to stand up and read out their written answers. In the lesson closure, I have asked few questions to check the understanding of the lesson taught.

While reflecting on the integration of ICT in the lesson, I find projectors to be very useful classroom devices/tool. By using projector I have observed that class becomes more interactive and children enjoyed learning. It plays an important role in delivering the lesson content through images and saves time and children were able to give more information on the concept taught.

                                      Lesson using projector (OHP)

        Date: 5^th September, 2019 (Thursday).              

       Class V A                    Period: 5th                    Class Strength: 31         

       Subject: Mathematics                                        Topic: Metric Units

On 5^th September, 2019 in the 5^th period, I taught Class V mathematics on the topic “Metric Units” for duration of forty minutes. Before the lesson, I have set up the Projector ready in order to deliberate the lesson effectively and successfully. I began the lesson by revising the previous lesson and making a link to what they were going to learn. In the lesson development, I have presented the lesson using ‘projector’ and I have explained on the concept of Metric units, its standard units, the reason we use the metric system of measurement for, and demonstrated few examples on metric measurement relationships that are based on multiplying and dividing  by 10s, 100s, 1000s, and so on showing the place value chart as shown below : 

 

 The chart below shows the names of metric length units based on the meter.

Thousands	Hundreds	Tens	ones	Tenths	Hundredths	Thousandths
Kilo (k)	Hector(h)	Deca (da)		deci (d)	Centi(c)	Milli (m)
1km	1hm	1dam	1m	1dm	1cm	1mm
1000m	100m	10m	1m	0.1m	0.01m	0.001m

I have prepared two activities, first activity is where children are going to read the statements and fill in the blanks with appropriate measurement from the list provided.  Then the second activity is where children are asked to convert measurements from one unit to another unit. In the lesson closure, I have asked few questions to check the understanding of the lesson taught.

While reflecting and analyzing good and bad points of my lesson, I have come to know some of the good parts where I should keep on practicing.

•   I could introduce the lesson meaningfully by revising the previous lesson and making a link to what they were going to learn.
•  Instructions were clearly given.

While reflecting on the integration of ICT facilities in the lesson, I observed that class became more interactive and shows keen interest towards learning. Children were able to give more information on the concept while  asking questions and gone through their written work, as compared to the lesson without integration of ICT in lesson.
