The journey of ICT

There can be infinite uses of computer and of new age technology, but if teacher themselves are not able to bring it into the classroom and make it work, and then it fails. To make use of these ICT in classroom, I started making a video tutorial, which was of course our assignment, and tried out this in my class.

There was excitement in the children’s face, when I informed them that we are going to learn today’s lesson through video. As was anticipated, the children were enjoying the lesson, but I could also feel that they understood the concept too. They were participating equally through the lesson. At the same time they were conscious as they see my face on the screen too explaining the concept. Moreover, I was not tired of explaining the concept again and again. If the children could not understand in the first go, we can replay it. So, we don’t feel exhausted at the end of the class. We can also dedicate our class time to the weaker students. In that way, my class was an effective one and was very satisfied with my lesson.

Through this experience, I was motivated. I thought, if we teachers do little home works after the class, we would never get exhausted in the classroom. So, now I am going to edge forward in making some more videos and project them in the class.

Technology based instruction in our classroom.

As we sail through the 21^st century, technology is becoming more and more predominant. It has now become a hand tool for the educationist to enhance teaching and learning process. Social media has become commonplace, and the way we use technology has completely transformed the way we live or lives. 

 Children being digital natives, they don’t enjoy the old traditional lecture method of teaching. So, to motivate the learners, use of technology has become a prime method in the classrooms. Moreover, as we are living in a competitive world, the world invites people with more skilled and knowledgeable people. So, students should be trained for 21^st century skills to battle up with the fast economic growth. These 21^st-century skills are essential in order to be successful in this day and age. Jobs that may not have had a digital element in the past may have one now. Education isn’t just about memorizing facts and words, it’s about solving complex problems and being to collaborate with others in the workers.

Furthermore, not all the children in the class are same. Despite of their age, sex and physical feature, different children have different learning abilities. So, to meet the needs of these children, technology can play a vital role in teaching and learning process.

Thank You.
