ICT
integration for October Month
AS I was wondering how
to make my children to use ICT, today I got substitution class in VA that too
it was IT period. The idea came to my mind that it would be the best time for
me to write this reflection. So I took my children to the IT lab.I asked them
what they want to do, to my surprise they told me that they want to browse and
some wants to play game, some wants to make some pictures. So I agreed with
them and I told them to put on the monitor. To my surprise I saw some children
facing problem to log in, I helped them.
I gave them the freedom
to play according to their interest as my main intention was to make them gain
control over mouse and to gain confident. As I went around I saw some children
facing difficulty, so I made their peer to help them. I found out that peer
helping really works as they feel free to ask their friends. I found out that
some children are far more advanced when it comes to use of ICT.
After that I made some
weaker children to sit in pair to play so that their friend can help them.
Though I didn’t have the plan as it was substitution class yet I was satisfied
with what I did as children did something which adds extra knowledge in their
ICT use. Children were fully engaged in carrying out the activity.
So my dear friends if
we get substitution and if we don’t have lesson plan we can always make best
use of the available ICT.
By going through your write up now I came to know how to use my substitution classes. Never thought of these kind of activities where we can engage our children in a productive way. Keep using it and keep sharing your best practoces
ReplyDeleteWhat an idea mam.You just thought and it came to happen.I am also thinking to let the children browse on themselves just to let them learn the basic.
ReplyDeleteGood idea to use substitution class with ict. It will help ourchildren to learn new things and engage fully. Keep going
ReplyDeleteWow......that is some times I called it a smart teacher. Nice to read your post and I can only throw huge rounds of applause for your quick ideas to handle children smartly.
ReplyDeleteThrough your pictures I came to know that your school has ICT facilities with enough desktop. Hope everyone is using it meaningfully with productive lesson. You too used ICT during your substitution period to engage your children. It's good give chance to our children because most of them are NOT used to with control of mouse. To get the control of mouse if you would ask them to paint or draw pictures rather than finding from net.
ReplyDeleteWow! Effective use of time mam. It was a good idea to engage children where both the stackholders were benefited. Good work mam.
ReplyDeleteGood hands on practice. Will bring considerable effects in their learning.
ReplyDeleteYes, most of the students are really far better even than us. You have put forward to teach the ict which gives experience to the student
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to keep the children engaged. children might have felt good to have given the freedom to choose activity for themselves.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea mam!Both parties got benefited as you had your reflection and children they got chance to work with computer.Actually we are working for that purpose but usually we cant do in substitute classes.You did great.
ReplyDeleteIts a great idea to engaged children, it would have made great impact for learners.Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteIt was good idea to use ICT lab to engage our children when we get ad-hoc substitutions like what you did, however it can be applicable only in the school where there is IT lab. In small and located innthe remote area dont have such facilities and it will be difficult to apply. You did great job but I would suggest you to start all the children with basic usage such as switching on...open file...shut down etc rather than allowing them to use freely.
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful idea to engage children and at the same time learning takes place. Nice to go through your post.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea madam. Meaningful use of substitution period. We can teach them how to find eduational related information without distrubing our own period. Later it will be easier for us as students will be doing ict related activities by themselves.Keep using it and keep sharing your best practices
ReplyDeleteGreat Work! Good idea to use substitution class with ICT madam which many of us will never do. It will help our children to learn new things and engage fully. Your ideas really appreciated madam.
ReplyDeleteKeep the same spirit always green madam.
Wow! It was a good idea to use ICT lab to engage your children when we get ad-hoc substitutions like what you did in your class.
ReplyDeleteYou really did a great job but I would suggest you to start all the children with basic usage such as switching on...open file...shut down etc rather than allowing them to use freely provided you get such opportunity in future madam.
Nevertheless good post and excellent teaching madam, Keep it up.
