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.
