Topic: Division as Equal Grouping

My
teaching experience has been incredible and I think I learned as much from the
class as the students did. Teaching is not everybody’s cup of tea. It is a
demanding profession, in which we need lots of content knowledge, planning, ideas,
skills and patience. I have learned that teaching is not just reading of text,
notes and guiding children through them but it requires lots of planning,
reflection, reinforcement, seeking feedback, skills, delivering of content and
being mindful. 
Teaching
has been a very difficult task for me as I encounter difficulty with learners
and the frequent change in curriculum. Every learner that we come across
doesn’t always have the same abilities to capture what has been taught. There
are times when students can seem uninterested in learning and disruptive to the
classroom environment. Hence, ICT integration for teaching mathematics has been
found so meaningful and interesting for the learners. For instance, before I
began with the lesson, I provided children with questions such as “What is
division? Write down 2 examples of division as an equal grouping, etc.” Then I
took my children in IT lab and let them browse internet and watch youtube on
“Division as equal grouping” and ask them to look for the answer.
However,
nothing seem easy if children are not able to handle the computer and it was
bit challenging in the beginning but with the two IT assistants, I could manage
to let children experience browsing of net and to look for the answers.
Children were so excited and couldn’t even wait for the teacher’s instruction.
But gradually I could make them follow the instruction by projecting on how to
go about searching for the information step by step.
As
a follow up activity, I made them to share their experiences while using the
computer and asked them to share what that have seen in the video clip with few
examples of “Division as an equal grouping”.
Hence,
to make the lesson much more effective, I took note of giving them basic ideas
and information about handling computers before letting them to handle the
computers.
Hello friends, please go through my reflection and suggest me to improve my ICT integration lesson. Your valuable comments are always welcome.
ReplyDeleteSir,
ReplyDeleteYou are fortunate enough to work in a place where all the IT resources are available. At the same time you are also using effectively without wasting those resources. I salute you for the same and keep going la. Children learn gradually and it's alarming you are making children to learn to use the net.
Looks like your ICT integration lesson was perfect. But what about the time, was it enough la?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had tough time handling the computer however you did a great thing by getting help from the expertise that's what we need to do when we have limited knowledge, keep up with the great work
