ICT Integration in teaching learning of Mathematics for grade 3 on "Moving Shapes".

In this 21^st century, the integration of ICT has become a crucial part and can’t do away with it. It immensely supports teaching and learning process in classroom at all levels. ICT integration assists teachers to the global requirement to replace traditional teaching methods with a technology-based teaching and learning tools and facilities. It’s one of the main elements in transforming the country to the future development.

In view of that, I have tried out integrating ICT in teaching “Moving shapes” in mathematics for grade 3. Such integration allowed students to be more organized and efficient in which they can take in information and ideas beyond the text. The process of adoption of ICT integration is felt as not a single step, but it is ongoing and continuous steps that fully support teaching and learning and information resources. Thus, children during my mathematics class stayed active and participated actively. Before I introduced the topic I made children to watch a short video clip on “Moving Shapes” and based on the video clips the class brainstormed and generated discussions on what they got from the video clip. Students were fully engaged and interested in learning as they responded and participated actively in the discussion.

On the other hand, children were benefited a lot from ICT integration where they are not bounded to the limited curriculum and resources, instead the integration was designed in such a manner that they get stimulated their understanding about the particular topic. Moreover, it helped me to design my lesson in an effective, creative and interesting approach that resulted in students’ active learning process. Thus, I would urge my teacher friends to incorporate ICT in teaching learning as it really enhances the learning process of the children and maximizes their abilities in active learning of the lesson.
